X FACTOR 2015! New Series starts this weekend -SAT 29th/SUN 30th 8.00pm

[Raahh]

...prompted by Hearts- here is the first thread of the year. It's traditional, innit. Even if this year, I am finding it very hard to get enthused.

So- what do we think of the new judges?
Are we happy they have got rid of the room auditions? -no--
What ubiquitous song will the acts sing in the auditions?
Will we miss Dermot dancing? Or will Strictly winner Caroline do the honours probably

It's all in the ARENA this year- apparently with props, and whatever else the acts want to bring along. Maybe even a tune, if we are lucky. It is going more and more BGT.

So, Autumn is now officially on it's way, it's nearly time for the Christmas John Lewis ad...

are we ready to face the music?

Good story, BOF!

Cruik

BOF- it''s good to ration your conquest tales

This song reminds me of when ds was born.

I'll look forward to hearing some more stories!

I don't have any. Dull dull dull, that's me .

Ive never met anyone famous, so i love the dirt!

It's AUGUST.
God, it'll be Strictly soon, then we will all drown in glitter and fairy lights and not emerge until January.

Simons flares

Have finally caught up. Didnt take long seeing as there have been about four acts and seven ad breaks.

BOF i love that story.

These girls are pretty.

They have competed since 2001? It's 2015 and they haven't got the hint?

Who said 'Aloha' to this lot? Did they think it was an all-purpose foreign word to use to all foreign people?

Mom looks good. Eight kids. Fair play. respect.

Strictly, its so overhyped these days, and Ainsley is on it too. A good reason to not watch

I will never look at Mr Manford in the same light again. And for some reason I never thought BOF would have a big rack .

Chezza looks really old.

How would this sound without the backing though?

'you remind me of a young Bernie Nolan'

Flippin' 'eck

Raahh it would sound even more shit than it does now!

Miss the beginning -are they quads or some multiple of multiple?

nancy yes

and then they would send them packing!

Bloody hell, they're good!

I bet Cheryl chose that dress herself,. It always goes wrong when she picks her own frocks.

How old are this lot meant to be?

Bernie clifton more like

obviously invited to audition...

but I liked them!

A whole lotta noise from such little ladies!

DD tells me these girls are already big stars in their home land.
