X FACTOR- The LIVE shows start this Sat/Sun, 8pm. But there is no Hallowe'en theme..

[Raahh]

...which is a bit rubbish. Pugsy painted gold was one of the highlights of last year.

The theme is 'This is Me'. . So, plenty of scope there for 4th Omelette or whatever they are now called to shoe-horn a routine they have already done , into the theme. The songs are supposed to reflect who they are.

here is the song list

Mason doing 'Sorry' is quite funny.

So- I am not going out tomorrow after all and will have trick or treating done and dusted before it starts.

Monica didn't get through did she??

Blue- she is the 'wild card' apparently!

Only one wild card?
Haven't they had loads in previous years?

I think the year they let nanfucker back, they all picked one act they had ditched, and the public voted on the one they wanted back.

Since they have started live shows so late, they can't really bring too many back- or we will still be here at Easter

Oh well thanks for that!
Maybe you should've put 'spoiler' in your thread title!

Blue sorry.

It was being discussed on the previous thread, so I suppose I assumed people would know.

(I've reported it)

No Halloween theme? I only watch in the hope of a terrible rendition of thriller or the monster mash

nancy- I know, no 'Thriller' .
-Someone will probably dance to it on Strictly though.

Fanx for new thread Raahh. I'm in too and it will be all the more bearable with a thimbleful or two of wine

Stritcly is going full on halloween!
Wont be here tomorrow , but hope its fun..be thinking of you!
4th omelette Raahh!
Any nicknames yet for others?
Hope theres a Nan
Xx

We definitely need to work on the nicknames.

Thanks Raahh
I'm a grumpy bugger today so apologies for being a bit short

Oh, don't apologise, Blue ! I just didn't think.

Of course, it could be Sunday before the thread title gets amended anyway

Love this thread! BTW There was an Xtra Factor programme on Thursday where Simon, Grimmy and Chezza revealed who the wild card was - so they weren't bothered about keeping it a secret! It looked to me like they just wanted Monica back and the only way to justify it was to call her 'the wild card'... Also, from Simon's comments, it seemed that he thought the 2 'live chair result' shows were a mistake... Hmmm!

Elder I did read that he thought he had made a mistake- and the theory that they have made up a wild card sounds plausible- they have always said if they are going to do that in the past.

I'm still sulking about the lack of Halloween- though Rita's outfits have been pretty frightful, so she might make up for it!

Gosh, watching sundays one now. What is Rit ah wearing?
Pink fluffy boot things? She reminded me of fozzy bear in an odd kind of way. Glad Grimmy chose Che. Like him.
Flacks shoes?
The stylists have gone mad this year.
Is this high fashion.. ?not seen this stuff in m and s.
Lol

Oh I thought it started at 7 I'll just have to glug more wine instead.

Well, we have returned from trick or treating. There are always a lot of decorated houses around here.

I want to get into my pyjamas. Which would scare any child coming to the door. Oh- Raahhdog is not too happy at the stream of visitors, although he was quite happy when we took him out with us.

Need to sort out booze and nibbles.

Cheers!

Evening! I've been watching from the beginning, although I was determined to boycott due to Flack and Murs.

Looking forward to Rita's Halloween outfit.

Evening.

I'm wondering how many are going to go this week, it can't be one can it? It'll never finish at Christmas at this rate!

I think they should get rid of loads this week

They are definitely going to have to ditch more than 1 on a couple of weeks.

They might get a reprieve this week, with it being the first live show.

Oh lordy- I hope Flack has been given presenting lessons this week. She was dire last week- thought presenting was her 'job'

Rita is wearing curtains.

Chezza looks tired.
