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

Chloe Jasmin's run is annoying

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

And here we have the BIG TWIST!

Not Fakey, ffs!!

Urgh, I really don't like Chloe Jasmine!

Is poor possibly preggers Chloe.

Oh poo.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Different?

'At last' in a disco stylee? jazz stylee?

Yup mermaid is gone. NOOOOOO.

This is crap I liked it when they used to look at their Polaroid mugshots to choose who to go through!

Chezza shouldn't be able to go back on herself to let fakey in

And ta-ra to Thin ursula. stooge

Why would she do that?

So as we all knew. Orla and leona gone I said this a couple of pages ago

I hate raigns face, it gives me the rage

So, basically- the ones we didn't recognise didn't get picked, and the others did.

Excellent.

I'm off to watch GoggleBox on +1! Night everyone, see you all tomorrow!

Bad choice in men = the habit continues!

DH came in and watched that with me. It was pretty much the worst tv imaginable.

They've come up with a scenario than ramps up the emotion for everyone on the stage, but it has entirely the opposite effect on everyone watching on tv. It's totally disaffecting and just plain annoying.

Goodness that was stressful. See you all tomorrow night, if I can face it!

Buy a sofa get a free carpet.

Maybe they let possibly preggers Chloe back so we can have the 'drama' of her dropping out later.

They must be aware that she won't be popular with the audience. She's like all the other young women the producers have tried to force everyone to like, but failed spectacularly (think katie weasel).

Well I ended up having to watch on catch up anyways due to non-sleeping children. Harrumph.

I do enjoy reading all your comments as I watch though!

Fairly happy about the 15 year old and the tomboyish one. Not so much about CJ and the others are just meh.

Looking forward to seeing Martine McChubby's make over though.

Tomorrow we need to make this into a drinking game- down a shot every time one of the judges says "That's why we make this show", "You look like a popstar" and all the other ready made lines that they seem to be using year on year for everyone. Might need to get a liver transplant booked in advance though.

Our livers will be safe if we make the rules drink if the editing makes any sense, and drink if they show someone singing (and don't turn the sound down so we can hear the judges/dermot/the other contestants instead).

She does look rather up duffed in this picture
