Line 88:
* [[Internet Counterattack]]: Notably, the aforementioned "[[Rage Against the Machine]] for Christmas Number One" Campaign, an attempt to bring the band's "Killing in the Name" to the Christmas #1 spot, normally dominated by the latest [[X Factor]] winner. Remarkably, the campaign succeeded, making it the very first song in half a decade to take the spot that wasn't an [[X Factor]] winner.
** There have also been attempts to get a "joke" act (such as Jedward in 2009, and Wagner in 2010) to win the show, in the hope of destroying its credibility with viewers. None of these efforts have been successful as yet, however, and at most have just kept those acts in a few weeks longer than they would otherwise have lasted.
* [[Large Ham]] / [[Large Ham Announcer]]: Played [[Up to Eleven]] with "Voiceover Man" Peter Dickson. [[
* [[Les Yay]]: Between Tulisa and Kelly. There was even an [[Almost Kiss]] between them.
* [[Limit Break]]: In a lot of cases, but notably Katie Waissel, some contestants perform at their best when up for elimination.
