or people who won stuff, like Kate+Yasmina for exmaple

after banging on about a specific reality TV show for a month or longer, you'd expect the winner of it to be booked on the show, if not at least a pre recorded interview.

Have they had Joe McEldery on yet, 'cause I dont know as I have to leave at 8:15am

Yeah, he was on about 7.15, seems like a nice lad.

Terrible song though.

Yeah, I woke up to that interview this morning and the first thing I heard was Chris telling Joe not to take the 'Rage' campaign personally and that the same thing would have happened if it had been Olly or Stacey. I thought that was a nice thing for him to do.

I also liked how he told Joe he hoped he would get out of the machine and make his own way soon enough. I doubt that will happen, but still, it was pretty good to here Joe agreeing with it.

i think he'll go the gareth way (but quicker) and get into musicals, i really hope he does because he would be outstanding

[Lactating Man Nips]

Did I hear them say Jimmy Carr is on this week? Hehe he should get a regular feature on the show

He was on this morning. Very entertaining too, as he is usually on live radio. I don't personally like his 'bit of blue for the dads' torrent of bad taste material on his tour but within the confines of family listening he must be confounding his critics.

It was, at first I thought it was a bit weird, as the kid would surely know the score, but then I thought a bit more and you're right it's a genuinely decent thoughtful bit of advice for someone who's been in the business for about two minutes.

I think he might need it to, because they haven't helped him out by giving him a song that's anything but instantly forgettable.

Must admit that surprised me, I'd assumed X-Factor's people would have been there coaching heavily and trying to stop anything vaguely critical of them.
