Can't believe it's back already but I can't wait to see what the new judges are like! Anyone else?

I think it will be interesting to see how the judges respond and what "type" they will become. I heard that GB is the new Simon Cowell!

I am an X factor addict- not sure how having three quarters of the judging panel replaced (and leaving the worst judge, imo, Louis) will work. I LOVE Gary Barlow, but the show really was all about Simon C, so it will be interesting to see how it goes without him. ( Though Simon has looked visibly bored by the show for the last 2 years at least).

can't believe it is back again (was pregnant this time last year- and DD2 is 1 at the end of SeptemberShock)

DecapitatedLegoman - yes, the very same!

Raah - I posted v intermittently on the thread last year but I remember the arrival of Baby Raah!

Does anyone know if SC will put an appearance in for the live shows like he did with BGT? I can't quite see how that would work.

Raah, how is Baby Raah?
I am on a telly break at the moment but I could watch it on ITV player. But how to bitch post and watch?
I may have to get the telly out again.

IKWYM Raah, I was also doing a beached whale impression during the last series and DD will be 1 next month - alarming innit?! Grin

I shall have to start reading gossip mags to get the lowdown on the new series. Oh, the hardship.

Baby Raahh is perfect-this year has gone so quickly!

I hope Simon makes an appearance- I really wish they had got rid of Louis!!

Oh yes I've heard saint Simon of cowell will make an appearance in the later live shows
Connie huq has got the sack in favour of Caroline flack (who?) and Olly MUDs < swoon>
expect live appearances of Cher Lloyd and one direction
And Shane ward is apparently on his uppers again
Leona and Alexandra Burke natch
And I reckon Cheryl cole will be promoting a new single at some point

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to Connie being sacked, she is utterly crap (nowt to do with being married to that delightful young man, of course, the lucky cow). And YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS again to Olly Murs.

Less than 12hrs to go!
I'm also relieved there's no more Konnie Huq. Am looking forward to more Dermot though :)

Was reading yesterday there is a 16 year old girl, who is already a favourite (with vids on you tube and everything).

I want to know if 'tesco mary' is back at her checkout.


I also hope they do not allow Cher lloyd on as a guest!
And I will miss UQD's Chezza Cole impressionsSad

Slightly more excited than I should be about X Factor. I heard SC was going to be on the live shows via satellite. Gary Barlow, bring on the nastiness!

It's always wine o'clock SOMEWHERE Blush

8 o'clock start is it? I was rotundly preggers this time last year as well. This year DD will be tucked up sound asleep and if she wakes, DH will have to deal with it as I'll be drunk and drooling

I always say I won't watch it- and get sucked in. Of course, the X Factor threads are the things that make it funny!

Congratulations aStarinStrangeWays. DD was born around the time the live shows started last year and I have fond memories of evening cluster feeds in front of X F with DH feeding me chocolate :)

I'm just watching Gamu on last years xtra factor on ITV2.
How she never got through I'll never understand.
I wonder whatever happened to her, I'd love to see her come back this year.
