			I've just realised there are striking coincidences between this year's x-factor and bb: 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	1. An Emily was kicked out early for breaking rules! 2. A pantomine villian stole the show, and was the most talked about. (Rhydian & Charley). 3. A pair of fun-loving and happy siblings brought energy and positivity to the show. (Same Difference & Samanda) 4. The winners were unfancied by the bookies and undeserving of the victory. (Leon & Brian) Weird!!!  |

			Arguably point 4 is incorrect.

			Another similarity is the total lack of talent in general from both casts.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	  But I suppose that's down to personal opinion and not fact.  |

			There similarities between the winners of each series. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Series 1 - Craig (BB) and Steve (XF) Both ok winners out of a bad bunch, never hear of them again Series 2 - Brian (BB) and Shayne (XF) Both do work and are still heard of today Series 3 - Kate(BB) and Leona (XF) Both very deserving winners of a great series Series 4 - Cameron (BB) and Leon (XF) Rubbish series and a rubbish winner.  |

			 Nah

			I only agree with the 4th point because obviously, 2007 has been the year of the loosing favorites. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	And I really can't wait to see the ****** named Leo, should be fun loool  |

 You're right about the similarities between winners: Series 1: Both won by males who had a large female fanbase but you look back and struggle to remember why they won. The runners-up on both series were ultimately more successful.( G4 sold more albums and Anna has a successful TV career in Ireland) Series 2: Both entertaining series with a talented and successful winner who was of Irish heritage. Series 3: Both brilliant series won by deserving, successful females from London, who's surnames began with L and had W as the third letter - LaWler and LeWis! Series 4: Both won by dull, forgettable Scots who's first names ended in ON - CamerON and LeON! Both series will probably be remembered for the presence of more eccentric contestants - Jon Tickle and Rhydian Roberts. Which means series 5 of the X Factor should be brilliant and be won by an entertaining and deserving GROUP as Nadia was both male and female!
