X Factor: 2011

Maybe it's because I'm watching this on a different TV to usual but are the VTs between the performances being filmed a bit differently? I don't know what it is but the parts where they're following the contestants (rather than the judge talking heads) seem different.

Any technical bods around tonight? If it was indeed a problem at BT Tower, are there any backup events for the lines themselves going down? I mean you can prepare for studio powercuts etc, but the facility connecting studio to TX? They sorted it out somehow so I'm guessing they got lucky or have another (more expensive?) backup for events such as this? Losing a whole show would have been a disaster. Though very worse case scenario could Fountain record the show as normal and run the tapes to ITV TX?

Thanks for reading this probably naïve posting!

I guess this means Xtra Factor will be behind. What will they show on ITV 2?

I bet it'll be Planet's Funniest Animals.

How did UTV and STV cover the breakdown ?

apparently stv's website has already revealed the winner of the "vote in"

Saying who won? Interesting development

The article was quickly deleted but if you type 'stv amelia lily' into Google you will find it.

In my opinion they probably have written four articles

Also works with the other three contestants' names.

Yes, because if you types in 'stv 2 shoes' it comes up with; ''SHOCK X FACTOR NEWS: 2 Shoes voted back in!''

If you put 'stv jonjo kerr voted back in' it says "X Factor reject Jonjo Kerr was ecstatic when he was voted back into the competition during tonight's show" posted 1 hour ago.
