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?

Evening Raahh! Hows the doggy doing.? So, who will be this years Stevie or Clunty? I think Grimmy will be grimmy and Rita and Chezza will fall out.
Simon will be si.
Will miss Louis and his 'journey, your a little Kylie' waffle
Will really miss Dermie. Also a fan of the Essex /Irish lad.

I'm going to bed with a migraine so I'll watch it on catch up tomorrow!

Wish you better fairy! X

Hellloooo!
I have wine, OH is cooking fajitas and I'm ready to bitch. It can only mean X Factor is back, yay!

I should really pity myself that this is a highlight of my weekend

Wagner!

I've not seen any of the PR lead up to this - hoping that Nick Grimshaw, keeps the vocal gurning to a minimum.

Why go back to arena auditions? Cue loads of irritating cuts to gormless audience laughing at crap singers after being told to by the producers

80s- the dog makes having babies seem very easy indeed. Hard work, but lots of fun.

Take care Fairy- migraines are crap, but i have only had one since ending up in hospital last October. But the meds made put on loads of weight- hence the dog

Oh, we're getting the old gang back together, hurrah. I always miss you all even though the show is irredeemable shite.

Noisy, agree, feels like BGT, same music too. Wheres ant n dec?

You get a lotta love from a dog Im told! I should invest!

7 minutes in and I'm already disappointed. I need to learn not to get my hopes up.

Grimmy like her.. Oh dear

Such is my commitment I'm still signing in from the land of bum sex and the middle classes.

I'm worried this build up for Susan may not end well.

I hate arena auditions.

How exciting! BOF damn right, the programme is crap these threads are the only reason I watch (and because dd makes me)

Off to a good start I see

Great start

oh dear, Susan.

Sadly, it's like BGT- without the buzzers.

I like Chezza's hair.

Doesnt Si have small hands.?

I like Chezza with real hair, although she does look like she could do with a biscuit or ten

I'm not sure about this Nick Grimshaw character. Does he put the 'grim' in Grimshaw?

Do you think Louis is throwing empty beer cans at his TV screen?

See- you won't get a proper audition, with all the audience noise.

Bet we don't see how she gets on next. She will just vanish.

You could pick a lock with Chezza!

Nah Louis is at home sitting on a tall stool practising standing up at key moments
