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?

Love a bit of A-ha!

Haha yeah I'm pretty sure all we did was laugh at people... Don't think I've taken it too seriously since Shayne Ward when it was life or death

I hate this man ( bo selecta bloke who's name I can't remember)

Hello, please can I join in?

I hate the arena! I wished they'd stick with the room auditions. I'm missing Dermot but I do really like Olly Murs, not sure about Caroline Flack though. We'll see.

The dcs were watching some rubbish on CBBC this afternoon and there was footage of Chezza's popstars audition. Lord only knows how she got through. She was dire.

That's the one The80sweregreat, I do not understand why he is on the telly

In, join in! We just slag them off and its fun. Wait till it gets the pant suit rounds...

I found the drinking game.

Hiya, couldn't resist joining you - even tho' i had to remember my new password to do so.. (had to delve really really deep down in the murky depths of my brain for that one!)

Hello pickle.

I agree about Caroline, she can be a bit loud and squawky. I hope poor Dermo quit rather than got the shove.

Maybe Louis and Dermo are watching and sobbing together.

He was on t one show. Alex thingy looked annoyed at his ohh er matron routine. But he is popular ?

How long are these adverts!

InAPickle....on this thread more is always merrier

Louis n dermie are in a dungeon with a voodoo doll of Si plotting baddd things

Awkward!

Erm.....aren't they man and woman apart as well as together?

Cheryl's top lip is looking enhanced.

big stage in front of loads of people - always a good place to wash your dirty laundry

I think I'm going to miss Louis Walsh . It's not going to be the same without his, "you remind me of a young ".

Hmmn by Xmas they could be called The Fuck Buddies

He doesn't look excited.

Oh dear, not even in time with each other!

See, I hate this shite. It wastes everybody's time.

Next doors cat sounds better. Ewww
