I've been ill this week, so I have been at home. I'm watching GMTV and they said Louis Walsh has quit The X-Factor. They said he is annoyed with Simon and Sharon, who have apologized, and he feels that Sharon shouldn't have thrown the water over him.
I think Louis has made a few massive mistakes from the start. He should have put through Trevor, and the other boy (can't remember his name, the other 16 year old) into his final 4. He should have saved the Addictiv Ladies, and thrown out Chico in week 1 and he should have saved Maria, not the Conways.
They are saying he might be replaced by Pete Waterman, I really hope not
If he quits what will happen to Shayne? Will he quit too, or be taken over by the person who replaces Louis? Would he get put into Simon or Sharon's Groups?

Won't he at least stay until the end of the series? I would have thought he would have signed a contract or something. Anyway, I hope he does go, as soon as possible - at least that way, we'll get rid of the Conways.

[Ruth]

Actually I've just been thinking about it (I get a lot done at work as you can tell). What on earth is Louis bleating about? He has insulted Simon all the way through the series, and now he can't handle a bit of the same? As for Sharon throwing water over him - he deserved it! It didn't hurt him - he needs to learn to take a joke *rant, rant*

He won't be missed though.

Or do you think this could just be another publicity stunt?

I dont think this is true. If it is then the all show will just fall down stupid Louis

[makosifan]

well i dont like louis but he will be missed.
As much as i prefered maria to the conways i think its unfair that Louis gets booed everywhere he goes! Hes not a murderer and Maria has got a record deal now anyway so its no big deal.
I hope he does come back for shaynes sake but to be honest the way sharon was acting towards him on saturday i dont blame him for leaving, it was plain rude for her to humiliate louis and the conways after they had performed! Even maria in the audience looked embarassed

[Ruth]

I bet he's there on Saturday. Maybe Sharon shouldn't have thrown water over him, but he made remarks about Ozzy, and as for being insulted, he's got no room to complain. He has insulted Simon and tried to humiliate him since day one of the show.

At his age, he should be past throwing his teddy in the corner

[lilmissnaughty]

I'd love it to be true, but I reckon the muppet will still be there

[Romantic Old Bird]

I would be surprised if Louis isn't there.

However, if he isn't, I would be pleased to see Pete Waterman. I understand Pete was first lined up for last years X factor instead of LW, but had to pull out due to the illness of his son, Paul, who has sadly since died.

Louis Walsh has made some absolutely bizarre decisions.

[James]

I think Louis has too much to lose if he quits. This story could just be a stunt.

No surprise here. From Radio 1...

Enjoying X Factor rows?

Louis Walsh has texted Newsbeat to say he hopes to be back on X Factor on Saturday.

The Westlife boss had quit the show after a blazing row with fellow judge Simon Cowell.

Louis has been slammed ever since he picked Irish band The Conway Sisters to stay in the competition over soul singer Maria.

And last week's programme saw Sharon Osbourne drenching him with three glasses of water live on air.

It seems like the judges haven't been out of the papers since the series started. So what do you make of their arguments?

He'll be in his usual place on Saturday night, alright...

[Ruth]

I'm sure this whole thing is a publicity stunt. But I hope Louis does NOT return!

[Siouxsie]

agree

[sol]

yes, i happened to catch a glimpse of Richard & Judy
and it said it was "reportedly" so i guess its a publicity stunt

[cc100]

Its a very successful publicity stunt.

Its to get people tuning in on Saturday to see if hes there, because SCD has been beating it in the ratings.

I'm currently watching The Xtra Factor 24/7.

Quote from Louis: "If things don't improve on Saturday's show, I will absolutely walk"

Apparently we haven't seen the last of him.

According to Ben Shephard, that was a recorded interview, and Louis has quit since it was made. So, who knows what the f&ck is going on!

[Z]

Ugh, what an annoying man. He just... ugh! I can't believe it! He's such a bad liar too!!

Did anyone ever watch Popstars the Rivals? He was so nasty to the girls who got kicked off, yet ended up managing Girls Aloud, and four of the girls who were voted off!

[Siouxsie]

surely he must have signed a contract of some sort

[Ruth]

Surprise, surprise, apparently Louis WILL be on X Factor on Saturday. Dammit!
