Ok I usually watch it after Boot Camp but is anyone else watching and do you think this new system is cruel? I know they know the score but it must be so nerve racking for them :-S

I find it hard to watch as their hopes are raised and then knocked down. The power of being a judge. And to be honest it doesn't seem a fair contest as I couldn't tell if the one going through is better than the one thrown out. Maybe they have some sort of chart to judge by??

I used to watch it every week,but lately cant seem to stand watching snivelling girls,saying its my life,and all they have wanted to do is sing,even when they can't.

It may seem harsh,but this is reality.

At best I like to think the contestants know who is in the top six before they have to go through this charade. It seems very cruel otherwise.

I wish the judges would drop the "I've come to a decision" drama and the tears.

not good. I watch it because my son says it helps him feel close to me now we far apart. I also though it was a cruel way to do things.
