X Factor Semi-Final

How quickly the time flies when you’re being sucked into the fix factor that pervades our homes every weekend.

Mary Byrne, Matt Cardle, Rebecca Ferguson, Cher Lloyd and One Direction are all still in with a shout which also means that, conveniently of course, that so are all the judges. This will make for good tv, because the brass tacks of it are that no judge wants to lose. So I’m now rubbing my hands together in gleeful anticipation of the daggers, knives, and any other sharp instrument you can think of, being dragged out as the final battle commences.
