It's a knife edge.

X Factor: The Farce Awakens

That was a complete shambles. The Ben and Leona duet was one of the worst things the show has ever produced.

I'm not surprised that Ché got voted off. He committed the cardinal sin of performing a Phil Collins song in such a way that I wished Collins was there singing it instead. Then he fell into the same trap with 'Valerie'. I'm not a fan of The Zutons, and their singer wasn't that good, but he sounded like Lemmy in comparison to Ché. Then the duet with Rod Stewart pretty much finished it. When Rod came on later and did his solo number it became clear just how much he'd been holding back during the duet to try and make Ché look better.

Not only was the Ben / Leona duet terrible, but it was also a reminder that XF has served up far, far worse.

Yes, but Fleur & Little Mix stormed it.

I know this is an ugly show, and is only watchable with a strong dose of removed cynicism, but I still found Reggie 'n' Bollie's crack at the winner's single quite upsetting (as did they, and cheryl, it seemed): felt like a forced humiliation, and a real act of cruelty towards the contestants who'd most consistently cheered & entertained me. Just one quick vicious tackle from the producers to make sure there wasn't an upset.
