If like me, you sky plus the X-Factor and stick it on fast forward when a guy in his mid thirties starts covering U2 or a girl in her mid teens starts singing U2 and purely enjoy the show for the judging debacle that follows the obligatory U2 performances.

This week Louie branded Simon a "Cheat" for selecting what was not officially a big band song.

One of the bits that I don't fast forward through is John and Edward, the freaky twins from Dublin. The first people to go on the show and look like they are seriously enjoying themselves as opposed to competing in a "Running Man" style life or death event. In fact, perhaps that is the next step in the X-Factor's progression, you don't get voted out, but you get voted into an underground pit, where you have to survive until the final show if you are to take part in the lucrative X-Factor tour. I would presume the pit would contain such awful things as Westlife, Pete Waterman and Martin Keown. But all of that is slightly off topic.

My point is that, without those two Dubliners in the competition it wouldn't even be worth watching on fast forward. The country is outraged because a guy that could sing in tune and had the personality of a wet sock was beaten by two 17 year old twins dressed in multicoloured suits grinding up and down a scantily clad dancer. Of course they can't sing, but then should we care? No. And if you do really care then maybe there is a place for you in that death event - you could be a gladiator, stop the ones you hate from getting through to the tour.

The X-Factor spin off will start during next years boot camp and to be part of the show just try and do something like this....
