X Factor looks set to go back to a serious show with no joke acts
 

wow how boring

I kinda feel like a large part of why people watch TXF over other singing shows is because of the novelty acts though. They're always the most talked about part of the show :shrug:.

Because Simon realised they're a waste of time after Honey G flopped?

No chance :joker:

Joke acts are fine until it comes to judges house/live shows. I'm sure that's where viewers start to get angry. Joke acts for auditions is all part of the fun.

Honey G was entertaining last year but she shouldn't of came back after she left at 6 Chair.

poor Slavko

Never watched a whole show ever - why is this even on tv ?? how many years have i been avoiding this like drain stink.

Ew the freaks at auditions are the best part of the whole show

Rachel Hooke and Abiola were the stars of last series!

I always liked the novelty acts. Every series needs one imo.

Well that is a lie considering Slavko's status.

I loved Goldie though! And Honey G was hilarious for the first few weeks.

Louis hand picked him and he is the only one

Can we keep spoilers in spoiler tags please?

Anyway I hope they're not going down The Voice route...part of X Factor's charm is its irreverence and not-taking-itself-too-seriously
