Despite me not being too keen on her voice or anything, I do wish Rachel luck with everything in the future.

Dannii Minogue has finished top in a poll to find the UK's favourite X Factor judge.

The OK! contest saw 48% of visitors to its homepage choose Minogue ahead of fellow panel members Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh.

Cole finished second with 37% of the vote, followed by Cowell with 12% and Walsh with 3%.

Minogue's position on the programme has been subject to speculation in the current series. It was recently reported that show boss Cowell is looking to replace her with Robbie Williams.

Fans of The X Factor have joined social networking groups in protest against Diana Vickers's hands.

The 17-year-old singer's kooky style involves a number of hand gestures, including stroking her face and curling her fingers.

Unhappy fans have now joined Facebook groups in order to express their dislike for the moves. "I am going to make it my mission to travel down to London and cut off her f**king left hand if she does not stop touching her face with it," one commented.

"Yes, you have a hand, yes you have a face, but you don't need to caress it every week."

More than 8,000 X Factor viewers have so far joined the groups.

I've just sent Ruth a message on her fansite. Apparently, she reads every message sent to her. I hope I get some sort of reply

[Perdita]

What did you say to her?

[DaVeyWaVey]

What did you say to her?

Just that I think she's sensational week after week. I look forward to her performances the most as she always delivers a brilliant vocal and puts on a good show and that I hope she gets through to the semi final.

I got this off my friend (he sent it to me) its quite funny..

Rule One - Knock back a shot of your favourite tipple every time you see a granny in the audience wearing a cheap T-shirt with a contestant's face plastered on the front.

Rule Two - Chug some beer each time Dermot or Simon claims it's the "toughest week yet" or "closest competition ever".

Rule Three - Knock back some vodka on each occasion Louis Walsh wobbles his head like the Churchill dog and tells a contestant: "You...should...be...in...the final!"

Rule Four - Knock back even more if any judge utters the words "sack your mentor" or "the song was too big for you".

Rule Five - Have two drinks when Simon makes a suggestive comment about Ruth Lorenzo's dress, boobs or what she's doing with the microphone.

Rule Six - Take a sip whenever you see Diana Vickers doing her 'wavy hands' dance.

Rule Seven - Drink once for every reference to Eoghan Quigg being "cute" and having "Irish charm".

Rule Eight - Have two shots for every contestant that discusses their "journey" or whenever any of them says: "If I don't up my game this week, I could be going home!"

Rule Nine - Make yourself a tasty cocktail whenever Simon or Dermot make an unsubtle comment about Louis's sexuality.

Rule Ten - Help yourself to a large rum and coke if Cheryl breaks into tears during the final showdown.

Rule Eleven - Wash it down with a whiskey chaser if Simon teases: "I didn't like it.... I loved it!"

Rule Twelve - Down your entire drinks selection if Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue at any point dare to crack a smile or share a conversation with each other.
