The news that Cheryl Cole is to replace Sharon Osbourne represents yet another milestone on the path of reality TV. Now, wannabe popstars on the X-Factor will be judged by a woman who is sitting there because she was a winner of a popband reality TV show. And the woman she has replaced only became famous because she was in a reality TV documentary. And her husband once ate a BAT! But that's not relevant here.
In a way breeding a microcosm of reality TV talent that judges itself might help to suppress it from the all-consuming monster it once threatened to become – the Lloyd Webber, Summer Strallen TV placement story being the zenith / nadir of this.
And call me shallow but if I am forced to endure these shows by others, which I perennially am, then at least Cheryl is nicer to look at than Sharon, or indeed, Louis Walsh.

Slag Cheryl and the girls off at your peril, Worth...consider that a warning....
I'm not slagging them off. I know your thoughts on the Girls and I am with you on most of them. Undeniably the best pop group of the last 10 years and probably one of the main reasons the boyband is no more.
"You knows it" as someone once said!
Franey?
