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?

This is EXACTLY like Cheryl and that guy from 'one true voice' a few years ago.

Carolyn is really comforting poor millionaire Olly.

What Raahh said

I think that Olly must be a nice person as it always seems to get mentioned. I'd be disappointed if he was a bastard.

Dinosaurs thats good to hear as i have always quite liked Olly.

Nice one , olly - get your mate on for some humiliation :(

They shouldn't have let tango woman through either. They only have to sing one song - if they can't even do that, then they're clearly not good enough.

I would be a good judge. Harsh but fair.

He was shit. But so was Twerky woman- who they let through, just because they need a 'joke' act.

Yes, Stannis, Yes! Just like that.

The beers are on you, Olly

Olly meh!

Cheryl is only a decade away from an Alexis Colby tribute act.

Another advert? Really?!!

The robots are annoying me. 4 months of them and ill be back on the tablets

She wouldn't have the strength to chuck Krystal Carrington down the stairs!

That was horrible. He must have thought he was in with a chance, going on as Olly's mate and all that. What was the point of it?

God that was painful ..... (Ollys friend)

Painful but completely staged I'm sure...

BOF, Squooshed you're showing your age, as am I by understanding the reference

I feel sorry for Olly's mate. I think that he probably could have done better but was just too nervous.

I'm late, watching from the start fast-forwarding through the adverts and the biography bits.

What have I missed?

I recognise the blonde in the headband. A Scouse compatriot, I believe.

boring, next...

Its one of the Cors

Oh ffs.

Louis would have put her straight through.

This is rubbish.
