...which involves all the contestants racing to a wall and fighting for a song, which is written on a piece of paper on the wall.

Sounds like 'Take a letter' from Crackerjack. Anyone else remember that? (Crackerjack!). What next? 'Double or Drop' ? actually....Grin

Saw a bit of Xtra factor last night. Must be really hard for the guests to keep schtum as to whether they got through or not after bootcamp (although it's probably availaable leaked somewhere on t'internet. ). Certainly, the girl group, whose name already escapes me, and I can't be bothered to look it up) alluded to the fact they have probably made it to lives. Or the live bit of 6 chair challenge (if they do that again, which I really hope they don't, because the presenting was terrible , and it was all very rubbishGrin).

Anyway, see y'all later- 8pm.

Crackerjack! I mccleaned my teeth this morning, (showing age. )
I hated the six chair challenge last year. I hope its done a bit bettter this year. People were moaning on the net about the women who ran in last night, so obviously a set up. Do they think we dont know this? They must live in a bubble. Heard a james arthur track today, it wasnt bad.
See you later

Yes, apparently old James has been re-signed by Cowell. Although the article I read said 'resigned' at first, which made no sense. (yes, ds, punctuation and spelling do make a difference!Grin).

I always thought he had a reasonable voice, it was different to the usual 'let's sing 'Chandelier' stuff. But, he proved himself to be a bit of a knobGrin. He is hoping to be different this time...

It worked for Beiber, so maybe James will do the same? I liked him. He was a bit different as you say.

I love bitchy bootcamp! Scrapping over who gets the plum line in some Mariah Carey wail-fest.

And hopefully they need to learn some 'funky moves' too.

The new Bridget Jones film looks rubbish.

Looks like a coach trip to Ibiza!
My, Dermot's jeans are a tad tight!
Si's glasses are cool. Makes him look clever..

Squoosh- there is always one who turns into a melisma divaGrin

Apparently, the songs feature more than once. So all the people getting the same on, will be lumped together. which could be fun.

Bloody hell, it's like the first day of the sales....

It's like footage from Balck Friday sales of a stampede of people trampling one another in order to get £100 off a telly.

there is a real Claggy Lloyd lookalike in amongst them.

I hope this doesn't involve loud backing. It defeats the object.

The blonde is very, very shouty. She is ruining it for the rest. But they will probably hear it differently...yes, they think she is great.

yy, I'd love a bit of Darius-does-Britney.

The boy band are better than that. But blondy shouted all over them.
