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

Charlie Brown wasn't born to be happy. This is the natural order of things.

Raah

Bad news.....

I'm betting all the bands are made up this year. Made up of all the auditions they didn't show us because that would have given the game away.

Well, except the JoN couple.

Cuddly Geordie out next.....unless the X Factor can manage a Geordie final with chip-shop girl. ...

Oh dear.

We did tell gravelly guy not to get comfy.

And the best 2 ( IMO) are still to come... Why do I care so much????

The hatred of the audience

It's like...THIS THREAD brought to life

Is there a trying to be the next jedward couple too?

Thumb cannot be 22. He's clearly older than me.

The bands will have to be made up, we haven't seen 6 let alone enough to have a sing off for the seats!

Is it just me, or are the boys a bit shit this year?

I really want Flobbie and a Pug man to go through

This thread makes X factor for me. I always lurk, snorting and chuckling away!

The audience are just baying for blood. It would be much better if they were taking the piss. That's what this thread brought to life would do.

The auditions would be met with silence, punctuated with the odd snigger.

Fairy- that is an excellent point.

JoN couple alone can't carry the group.

Will each band have to sit on one seat?

Storm you must nurture the hatred in your heart and let it pour out. You'll feel the better for it.

ohh- 'Flobbie and the Pug' is an excellent name for a cbeebies show band.

Damn damn damnit! I thought it started at 9, not 8. Fucknuggets.

Italian pug boy has GOT to get through!

I'll stop watching if he doesn't. ( prob won't tho... Fickle)

Honestly, I think the made up nature of the bands might be behind the reticence to show us anyone auditioning this year. They are trying to hide the fact that no bands actually got through the auditions (except the JoN couple).

Pug man replaces Cuddly Geordie....

They get one seat each, and have to nominate an arse to sit in it.

He has to be the winner. I LOVE HIM!!!!

Pug boy. I am happy and excited.
