X FACTOR- It's time for the FIRST LIVE SHOW! Saturday 8.20pm...Simon will be missing, they are ignoring Hallowe'en, there are wild cards...

[Raahh]

and the new twists etc are all a bit of a mess- so listen very carefully

I will be out (out) so to cheer myself up, I am starting the thread a bit early.

And the new format is a bit confusing.
Simon has definitely washed his hands of it all- so the Great British Public will be responsible for all the votes, no judges votes at all.
Someone will leave on Saturday, and Sunday as well (I think). There will be no deadlock.

And the top two acts get to sing again to compete to win great prizes (I think Simon has been watching Crackerjack (crackerjack)).

The categories are split over the nights - I think.

Told you it was confusing.

The wildcards haven't officially been announced, so don't know what they are singing. And I'm sad about the lack of Hallowe'en songs.

Some of the song choices are very odd- and I think the ones who sing original songs are at real disadvantage with the GBP.

Anyway. Off to watch dd1 play football in the rain. Will check in later, before I go off to my party.

TTFN

Noisy don't say that... I can hope

NOoooooooooooooooo

It's odd how Liam needs a coat yet the women on stage only need their undies isn't it?

That's because the women are actually working and performing to earn their money

Oh fgs!! why does everyone love her so much?!

I hope it's Leon.

There you go, the entire Philippino population of England has also voted.

oh hell Phillipino woma is going through
And Ken is out

Looks like the tweens weren’t allowed to use the phone!

So Ken doll is out

Poor Spencer. His mum and dad wasted all that money on their flights.

Back to Ohio it is. Bye.

Is this an anti Trump vote?

Louis looks like he's about to burst into tears

Bye Bye Ken doll, You won't be missed!

More an anti double denim vote

Huh? What's happening?

What’s going on? Don’t understand new format!

I don't understand this new crappy format at all!!
So is it that, the performance of the night gets a prize?

but but we didn't take you in with open arms lovey.

Dermy's shirt looks a little yellowish. He needs some Daz

Could be Inigo !

But I do think us Brits like to vote for Brits so I can't imagine Alisa will go much further

It's very anti-climatic doing it like this!

Nicole hasnt a clue. ' people singing, where? ' bless her

They are going to declare who got the most votes.

Is it like in Bake off where one leaves and one is a star baker?

I'm so stupid I only just realised it was boys and girls, no overs or groups

NO WONDER IT WAS SO BORING!!!
