X FACTAHHHH SPICE UP YOUR LOIIIIIFE

Hi there, welcome to my first rate. This could end badly (and it will for all of you if Leon Jackson makes the top 50).

We will be rating past contestants and judges from The X Factor. Obviously there are far too many flops and forgotten contestants to rate every season, so we'll be starting from Season 5 - Alexandra year, when the show got massive. I personally can remember and have an opinion on every act from then onwards, and I'm a fairly typical viewer, so I think it's a good starting point without having to wade through too much deadwood nobody cares about. In true X Factor style, I've also included four Wildcards.

Reveals will be announced in two parts - judges then contestants. As there are quite a lot of acts to rate and Christmas is coming up, meaning you've got better things to do than worry about whether to give Eoghan Quigg a 0 or a 1, I'll give you all four weeks, so that's till January 16th.

Rules:
I'm going to keep it simple.
- As always, we're scoring from 0-10, and you have one 11 for your favourite contestant, and one 11 for your favourite judge.
- Skull draggings highly encouraged. Decimals fine but obvious Pitchforkery or trolling will be excluded.
- Remember that, when scoring from 0-10, 5 is average. A 7 isn't average and nor is a 3.
- Feel free to rate on whatever factors you like, I'll be taking post-show careers into consideration but you don't have to.
- PM me your scores, tell all your friends, and have fun!

One quick question on the judges:

Should we be rating Cheryl Cole and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini separately?
 
This is the only rate I have ever needed. Ready for the mess.

I think Series 5 is a great starting point, much as Rowetta would have been a serious contender for my 11.
 
I'm glad you're starting from series 5 (the best year). The only series I didn't watch was when Leona won, so I'm glad that's not in it (but she is). I'll send my scores in at some point!
 
he/him
Will be doing this soon, obvious 11 but others should be fun to rate. I haven't watched first weeks of S5 so I should catch up on that.
