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

Another one with a mohooosive gob.

She's made mel cry.

I assume it's ok to send under 16 s home from judges houses?

Is Mel crying, or is her filler just melting?

Her mouth is enormous.

Though I do hate the fucking trainers. Learn how to walk in heels, girls, while you are still young! Bunions will be growing before you know it, and you will actually have to wear trainers non-ironically soon enough.

I like her but doing think the song does her justice.

But she will get onto live shows again on the strength of a restyle

More swapsies now?

Did Louis call her Mary-Ann?

Squoosh, they save that for the judges' houses when One Direction show up for a bit of inspiration.

When Niall Horan comes a-whorin'

(ashamed I know One Direcion names)

Cheryl's Decision Face is getting very boring now.

*don't think

I often wonder that dillite. Sure makes for a awkward conversation on Monday. ..

Hang on a minute- there are 4 categories, but we only get tortured for 3 nights? So, who is going to get rushed through? Not boys I take it.

They will rush (even more so than they did tonight) the Overs and the Groups.

I think - harping on- that there must be a reason Kayleigh- who they loved in the auditions - was unceremoniously dumped so easily.

Got to be orla?

Thin Ursula is the public choice.

I don't remember many groups... Maybe that category will be quick?

Oh, ok, swap her with one of the others I don't remember.

But Lidl Leona has it. Damn, that nickname was premature.

Groups.

There are more chairs than groups this year.

And the oldies. Cos everyone knows young people are more interesting.

BOF but thin Ursula was rubbish !

Stop chatting to Audience, Chezza

I wish the audience would shut up.

Louis looks as if he forgot his dentures in some of the shots.
