5, 6, or 9 :think:

5, 6, 7 & 8.. the best period of the show.

I loved (or at least liked or felt deserved a final place) all 3 finalists in this series, Little Mix' series and 2010.

7, 8 and this year

Whatever its not this vile mess

I'm not in love with series 11's final, but I like how diverse it is, the Rocker, the Rapper, and the Diva.

Voted for Series 8, I loved Amelia and Little Mix but with every other series I've only supported or liked 1 of the finalists.

6, 8 and 11

6 but Shoutouts to 4 as well. Everything about 6 was great tho

Series 7: Matt Cardle, Rebecca Ferguson and One Direction,Cher Lloyd (2010)


Mmmm you missed out Cher Lloyd on Series 7

11

For me without a doubt would have to be this years. Like all 3 of them. Then it would have to be matts year. All the rest have had somebody in that I can't stand

6 and 7 for me, we haven't seen the performances of this years yet but on the face of what we have seen,I think I will be rating them pretty low as X factors go.
I still see little talent here that will ensure longer careers from any of them.

This final needs a bit of Lauren, OTY, and Jack.

Series 6 or this year.

6, 11, 5 & 7.

Yes! :clap1:

I wish that I'd have been allowed to mentor Lauren and Jack this year, Lauren would've won because I also would've fought for her to have later time slots than she was getting, and Jack would've at least bagged 5th under my mentoring instead of 11th by the pathetic Mel B.

Even though the current series is one of my least favourites, I'm going to have to say this final because i like every single person in it, whereas every other final has had at least one person who i didn't appreciate.
