X-FACTOR- Yes, it IS Friday- but tonight at 9pm - it's the start of BOOTCAMP.

[Raahh]

It doesn't feel like a week since X Factor was last on, does it? ...probably because it isn't.

So, though we haven't recovered from Sunday- here is the first BOOTCAMP!

Tonight, Cheryl is choosing her final act- she has the girl's category. And no, you're right, we haven't been told that yet. It's like a whole section of the process has been mysteriously ditched.

Expect musical chairs, crying, and much wailing about making decisions.

Here's the song list

LOLA SAUNDERS
Cece Peniston – Finally

CHLOE JASMINE
Backstreet Boys – I Want it That Way

SHANAY HOLMES
Emeli Sande – Read All About It

STEPHANIE NALA
Chris Isaak – Wicked Game

ORLA KEOGH
S.O.S. Band – Just Be Good to Me

MONICA MICHAEL
Olly Murs – Troublemaker

KAYLEIGH MANNERS
The Lumineers – Ho Hey

TEN SENAH
Beyonce – Love on Top

EMILY MIDDLEMAS
Ellie Goulding- Anything Could Happen

CHLOE O’GORMAN
Whitney Houston – I didn’t know my own strength

LAUREN PLATT
Michael Jackson – Man in the Mirror

KERRIANNE COVELL
Sara Bareilles – Gravity

Sadly, Chezza has avoided being Raign's mentor. Which would have been fun.

See y'all tonight.

9pm

Bye fishsticks

I think Lidl Leona will go.

So, Mermaid orla is going? Because we don't know who she is anyway?

Or the one who looks like Sam from satc

They audience don't like Orla?

yay! Bye bye Fake-y!

Hooray- annoying Chloe is gone!

Didn't see that coming!

Wild card?

I'm glad Chloe Jasmie is gone!

This is such a stupid format. Bring back fat people sweating and falling over in an urban dance class!

Simon is really fucking me off

Oh thank the stars for the swap, 'mesmerising' Chloe Jasmine was pants. IMO.

God she might come back.

This is a dumb question- how do I get to the telly addicts thread without going into 'topics' A-Z and then scrolling down to telly addicts? I normally just go on the 'active' conversations on my mobile but couldn't keep up

God yes, squoosh. That was actually entertaining.

Not a great loss there.

She probably is up the duff.

Chloe was not mesmerising. She was annoying. Although I liked that her song today made it absolutely for anyone sensible to continue to believe the farce that she was uber posh

Surely the whole point of "Bootcamp" is some element of training? What is this hot mess?

Squoosh, I whole heartedly concur

I know! Did I miss bootcamp? Or did it just not happen? I am frustrated.

Why are under 16s safe from being swapped out? Why should they be safe based on their age? To me that doesn't seem fair.

They did Bootcamp in about two minutes at the start, I think. It's confusing though.

Is there a more annoying song in the world than Bjork' 'oh so quiet'?

No.

They are calling this Bootcamp, but it really isn't.
