Talent show or soap opera?

X-factor has always been billed as a show that searches out the country's most talented singers but increasingly now it is becoming more of a soap opera. Over the Summer there was all the speculation over who would be on the judging panel and now that it is up and running all the stories in the papers are about the off stage antics of the acts and the judges.  Earlier this month there were headlines about orgies at the judges houses, now there are new stories about contestants being booted off because they have been in prison, acts with mental health issues being exploited and the latest installment is one of the acts quitting the show because she thought the judges were taking the piss out of her.

So what have we learned so far about the acts, some of the female singers are really good at singing songs they like and that they have been singing every day for months but take them out of their comfort zone and get them to perform something new and they start to flap.
