Strictly or X Factor?

Arguments abound in my house as the family is divided between BBC's or ITV's popular culture-thon. And despite trying my hardest not to be interested, I can't help but stick my head in the lounge and see what's happening - especially in X Factor. Those twins are a good example of how hype wins over talent, but I'm sometimes a little sceptical about how they always seem to have a massive production number, choreographed by Brian Friedman, to 'carry' them through.

It clearly works, as they survived last week despite a complete mess-up of 'We will rock you', coming in at the wrong point and having to be saved by their backing singers. I think it's about time the twins were made to stand with microphones and deliver a song all by themselves, just like all the other acts have had to do. Doesn't seem very fair at the moment!
