Katie Waissel - the prelude


For the tabloids Katie is pass the parcel, where there is a prize with every layer of paper you rip off. Not only has she bedded other z-list celebs (notably Apprentice moron Michael Sophocles) she has already had a small taste of online reality fame with her own YouTube series.

The first episode of ‘Green Eyed World’ begins with her airy voice saying that she is a singer/songwriter from Europe – which as a place is only relevant if you are competing in the Ryder Cup. The viewer follows her journey from London to New York to LA and back to London.

She is a self-confessed tom-boy, which in this case means ‘one who only likes the company of men’. The first event is her ‘boyfriend’ breaking up with her because she is TOO dedicated to her dream. She then starts dating the show’s producer and instantly tries to marry him in a Las Vegas ceremony. When he wisely flies back home (to err... Europe), she says through her tears ‘I hate reality’.

In the series she is known as Katie Vogel, her late grandfather’s surname. This is the same grandfather that reduced her to tears at Cheryl’s house. Now, I don’t want to be insensitive but a lot of people have dead grandparents and, yes, everyone on the X factor must have a sob story. But, at least some people have gone to the effort to have illegitimate children. Look to the future Katie!

Although she is the most ridiculous person; she isn’t a bad singer and can actually play an instrument which might be an X factor first. The bookies have her as a favourite to go this weekend but I’m not too sure. Notoriety counts for something in this game. Remember how far Jedward got? And that was just down to genetics.
