Thomas The Tank Barlow
He's not had much luck, has he. Whilst the first "visa issue" could not be resolved (meaning the Code 4 ensemble dropped to 3) the other one involving Kaz Ajobe [no relation to any Computer 'Reader' - especially as the name of the group is 'Rough Copy] was apparently less serious, considering TTT reinstated him to take the pair back up to a trio. Nevertheless, one has to ask why he is again getting nowhere with a visa a year after having the same issue last year on X-Factor. What exactly has he done?
Aside from these goings on in the Groups, I understand that Miss Dynamix (the trio TTT put together) is concerned about the name, and may well have to come up with a new name. This is much the same as the situation for one of the three, SeSe, who is apparently five months pregnant. I am not sure how much of an issue this will be for her - hopefully it won't spoil her chances, and hopefully the name "Miss T'Period" won't be the new name for the trio.
Elsewhere, "Kingsland" has become "Kingsland Road" after an unknown band in the USA challenged use of its name. This does actually remind me to caution TTT on his erroneous use of the term "Band". For your information, you are mentoring Groups and not Bands; the latter generally make some music to go along with the singing, rather than letting that fiddly bit be done by faceless others.
Apparently the finalists are not allowed to use the swimming pool in the communal house (Lionel Richie's old home) because of health & safety concerns. The 'morons who sing' are apparently trusted with a kettle. If anyone needs to be locked in, then maybe Sam Bailey can take charge, and use her three years' experience as a prison officer. If anyone mentions (again) the concern about whether 16-year-olds like Nicholas can cope with the pressures of the competition, please remember that there are three of that age in the finals, and two 17-year-olds, so get a life.
I do wonder about the finalists who have confirmed this is it - that their whole lives and reason for being is linked to the X-Factor - and what they might say if they are going home next weekend. Whatever the hype on the night, when you're gone, you're gone. Does anyone remember the comment from Belle Amie - "This is not the end, it's the beginning" when the band was voted off in 2010? Nope, only me.
All I've learned over the last week or so is:
- Mary J Blige is a tired waste of space
- Nicole ShirtWringer is annoying as fuck
- Elf continues to be deluded
- Barlow is boring [Gary, NOT Ken!]
- Old Holborn should be rolled up and sent back to the USA
- Dermot is (S)O'Dreary
- The first eight weeks of the live finals will be pointless and painful
- Hannah Barrett's dad died when she was nine years old
- Tulisa is so very forgotten
- Sinitta turns up like a bad penny
- The groups is officially the worst category
- Dannii Minogue shagged Cowell
- Louis cannot make a decision, ever
- Caroline and Matt on Xtra Factor are sad and shit - particularly the latter
- I don't give a fucking shit
