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

Frobbie!

Forgot about him

ooh yes, Flobbie.

is he an 'Over' ? Where's Pug man?

Arf at Jeff thumb.

I just want the fat bloke from last year who got dumped by Louis at judges houses to get through

( over invested, moi?)

Oh god it's GI Joe now..,

Too shit for American X Factor then?

I'd say yes to him!

Yeah I BET Louis would have him

Jeff Thumb is sooooooooooo going to get swopped out.

Where's Flobbie?

P. too shit for xfactor USA. He had to apply for special permission to irritate us instead.

Why did Cheryl get an hours program last night and mels almost finished with hers 17min into the program

They even tried to imply that someone bothered Obama with this shit. Because obviously he'd care about whether some squaddie wants to enter a singing contest in another country.

I hate this new format. I think it leads judges to make the wrong decision and is humiliating for the contestants.

However this is the modern equivalent of a gladiator show so should just be glad they come out alive really.

And where's cutie Italian boy? I LOVE HIM!!!

ohdear- because she milked it for all it was worth, and can't make a decision, because she's a Princess. Or something.

I thought he was stationed over here.

They did the same thing last year. We got a whole show of one category and they rushed through the rest in the other show. I was not impressed.

This year it looks like they're pushing the girls and the (totally manufactured by mingehead) groups. That'll be why we were treated to a Friday night show.

Just shows how it's all fixed!

In the interest or fairness they all should have been given the same airtime!

But we know it's not fair

To be fair, Melb's probably hasn't taken as long cause she went

'You're shit. Fuck off!'

To most of them.

Where's his little dog?

True Noël.

He may well have been stationed over here, but presumably he had to ask for time off to waste doing this. They made that out to be much more than it could possibly have been.

Plus if bimbo can't make a decision she shouldn't be on it! Least Mel can make her own choice and not get stroppy over it

He's a bit shit, isn't he?

They won't have this guy doing covers of George Ezra, no sirree not at all
