Do you like the Prize Fight?

[supertv247]

?

I think it’s nice and all, nice to spend time focusing on the good rather than the bad but my god who really cares who’s going to see Pink in concert? All it’s done for me is show how much MORE they could do.

They could have the acts split over the weekend like this, and still fit in a normal sing off between the bottom 2 each night AND even make that a second public vote each night to save one of the bottom 2, yet they’re choosing a prize fight??? :fist:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

no

[Firewire]

No it was a ****ing mess

[RileyH]

it's tragic

[Epic.]

No, it's completely and utterly pointless to what the show is about. This isn't RuPaul

[mizzy25]

I quite liked it

[lewis111]

No
Took away all the focus from the elimination as there was still like half an hour left after it

I get rewarding good work but maybe announce the winner as the first person announced going through
And no sing off just give the winner of each night a wee prize

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

why not give the winner immunity from the next vote?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

next weeks prize to be a nutribullet

[RileyH]

next weeks prize to be a nutribullet

i'd love if i won that as a prize

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i'd love if i won that as a prize

have mine she’s been sat in the cupboard gathering dust since 2015

[RileyH]

have mine she’s been sat in the cupboard gathering dust since 2015

why would i want a dusty one :nono:

[Firewire]

have mine she’s been sat in the cupboard gathering dust since 2015

lmao when you raved about it when you first bought it

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

lmao when you raved about it when you first bought it

:shame:

i was genuinelly obsessed for a while but the novelty wears off so quickly)

[supertv247]

What is the prize going to be? Seriously, it would make more sense for them to have the usual sing-off and just pay Pink to mentor the acts for a week like they used to, or even have a guest 5th judge. People would maybe actually care

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

why would i want a dusty one :nono:

dust can be cleaned using kitchen towels and if necessary, fairy liquid and a sponge

[RileyH]

dust can be cleaned using kitchen towels and if necessary, fairy liquid and a sponge

yeah but it could be contaminated

[reece(:]

Axe imminently

[Jack_]

It was the most embarrassing moment on this show since Anton Stephens' "I AM NOT FAKE" outburst

I didn't think the flash vote would ever be topped in terms of dumb twists, but this is by far the worst. It's pointless and flat, I couldn't care less about watching a sing-off if neither of them are going to go home :shrug: I laughed when they opened the phone lines again too, who's paying to vote for this nonsense?

What's worse is it's going to make the series even more predictable than it already seems, I'll be very surprised if it's not Grace and Rak-Su every week. They need to axe it and they need to axe it now, stop revealing the voting results before the final

AND BRING BACK DEADLOCK

:fist:

[supertv247]

Why do people keep saying bring back deadlock when deadlock was literally the name of reverting to the public vote when the judges couldn’t decide on who to send home? The current format is literally just deadlock lol

[supertv247]

but yeah in terms of absolutely ridiculous and bizarre twists, this tops them all...

XF USA started the leaderboard in its final series, XF AUS had a wildcard category, and now XF UK has this... its days are numbered!

By 'Deadlock' I don't mean the actual format of reverting to the public vote, I mean the classic fun and drama of this:

Louis :love:

[Cherie]

deadlock was a means of overturning the public vote, how often did the person who clearly got more votes get sent home, and it got boring as you just know Louis was always the clown who got to send home the good singer over the novelty act

I quite like the changes, the shows aren't too long and dragged out and I like the dynamic between the judges where they are having a laugh as opposed to arguing with each other.

Grace will probably have an Ella Henderson style exit after crooning one indistinguishable vocal too many, could anyone understand the words she was singing apart from the chorus?

[supertv247]

I also think Grace will make a surprise exit like Janet Devlin & Ella Henderson, leading the way for someone like Holly to win
