That was a really interesting review, Lee. I often thought it odd that Lemar never talked about his singing experience, when it was quite obvious that he'd had loads. I bet he was told to keep that quiet. He was clearly the teacher's favourite to win from the beginning and as a result coasted along until the last couple of weeks. After which, it finally dawned on him, or more likely he was told, that he was in a reality TV show and he better make some attempt to actually entertain us in between Friday nights. His efforts to make himself interesting have, I'm afraid, been pretty dire despite acres of footage devoted to them.

It was a very unfair playing field which was set up from the start with people like Marli, Ainslie and Lemar having had tons of experience set up against someone like Malachi, a gas fitter, who'd never left Northern Ireland and had only sung at weddings and funerals. However, it did make for a fascinating reality TV show and the fact that most of the obvious favourites have fallen by the wayside made it even more engrossing.

Well done Endemol for making a good programme, after what was in my mind, the dreadful disaster of BB3. I hope that they've learned that there is more to good entertainment than setting up conflict. What marked out FA for me was that the contestants never fell out with each other and spent very little time moaning. They were supportive of each other in the main (Chris and Marli excepted) and were a nice bunch of people.
