THE X FACTOR SAT 8PM ITV *****

This week the x factor goes to the judges houses. We get the chance to see the 6 competitors that are in the judges houses and this is where it begins to become interesting as the judges get to select their 3 finalists.  But the previous round with the 6 chairs seemed to me to be very unfair as you and they got the chance to see people leave their seats when I think they should not be able to do this. I feel that this is a very cruel twist to the show.

The further on in the clips the more the celebrities seem to know whose house it is. They then talk to the celebrity who owns the house. Sometimes Keith has to give a clue through a key in the centre of his desk.

GAME CHANGERS SAT 9AM SKY SPORTS 1 *****

Game changers I think is one of few Television shows that I think will get young people up and active as they show the range of games that a child can play. However one of the problems is the fact that for most kids it would take more than a short walk to get to any of these sports. There is Darren Campbell vs Di Dougherty and the celebrity of the day helps to teach the children how to play the sport that they are good at.

THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE SHOW *****

We get the chance to see all of the goals from the football league and some of the matches are highlighted. I feel that this shows the smaller teams in such a big light as they are on the BBC. Presented by Manish Bhasim and Steve Claridge this would give most people a good look at lower league clubs and gives you a view on how they are doing.

This is a very funny show about lies that the people have just seen when they have been given to them. Hosted by Rob Brydon. The regular panellists are by Lee Mack and David Michell. One of the best rounds I think is when the other panel have to guess who the person standing beside them is as 2 of them have to create a lie from the piece of card they have just been given. Quick fire lies at the end of the show is also very funny.

JUNGLE BUNCH TO THE RESUE BOOMERANG 4.30PM *****

I have just started to witch this and do not know the characters that well. I think that having a team of superheroes is a quality idea. We see them living in the jungle and getting their missions to help the people of the zoo. I get the chance to see all of the animals work as part of a team to solve the problems that they have to solve. One of the big negatives is that you do not get to know the characters that well as they are always on missions and cannot see who they are.

This is a synopsis from the show itself   The Jungle Bunch" tells the story of a group of insane animals fighting injustice in the heart of the jungle. Maurice, a penguin who sees himself as a dangerous tiger, is always accompanied by his adopted son Junior, a tiger fish. There are also Miguel, the tough but extremely affectionate gorilla, Gilbert the paranoid tarsier, Al & Bob the toads, Fred, the singing warthog and Batricia, the bat who’s afraid of the dark. Together they will be considered the heroes of the jungle. They try not to discriminate against any animal
