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?

Hmm am I in, am I out? I'm not prepared to commit this stage

totally committing

I'm watching on catch up tonight as I'm only just in though. Bah

i wonder if we will get any returnees?

I'm still holding out for the Return of Fiff.

Rittaaa looks like she needs a hot bath! Bless her

I'd love to wash that girl's face. She needs a flannel intervention.

Noel- you know you want to...

And this silly cow has said she was ill to audition.

Let's hope losing her job is worth it, then.

Who is fiff? This woman is annoying

I love this choon, when it's sung at the proper tempo.

She is very, very orange.

well, she's better than the first woman

Jocelyn browns version is so good. She is a poor imitation

Yes, a good dose of Eve Lom would not go amiss.

That's all I can think while watching her... So glad there's a thread for this! Dp has abandoned me and this is my first year not living at home watching every week with my dm and dsis!

80s- Fiff, was Phil, (with an F) who wanted to be lead singer of the Darkness, but Sharon said he was too soft. So he came back and threw a chair about, with some drawn on tatts.

He still didn't get through

her mouth did just look a bit like the blackwall tunnel

Good grief, Cheryl could do with a good pan of Scouse down her.

Awww Matilda!

Dont remember him.. It tends to blend a bit this show. Cliche time already

I fucking loved Fiff.

Welcome Matilda- but it might be fair to warn you we are not really an appreciation thread. At all. we are in it to take the piss

has simon stolen louis's cliches?

There's also something of The Jonny Vegas about her expression...

I know! It's not as much fun in a room by yourself even used to come in from parties etc and watch it either Sunday mornings or at 3am together!!

If i were Louis i would sue..

Cheryl's arms are like little twigs. I read the weight loss was due to her grieving for her father in law.

But tangoed shouty women are ten a penny, surely?

They will iron her hair and make her more orange for bootcamp.

And I knew Chezza would do the 'experience' thing.
