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

Looks like Sharon is wearing a new face tonight

I love Nicole. Love her style love her clothes love her legs. End.

I'm glad Thalia is back

J and J are back. Yay

PLEATHER! WE HAVE PLEATHER!

Is it a joke... did the public really vote Alisa back
The rest of the wildcards are good.

Thank heavens no Slavko in the wildcards.

So glad whatshername girl with long hair is back. Travesty she went out.

can i say here and now I will be talking rubbish as DH keeps topping my glass up. Not my fault

Slavko was robbed. He should have been there instead of that begging woman.

Wildcards - "Yay!", "Yay!", "Meh", "D'oh!"

The Stylists and Make-Up artists have been very busy

I see pleather.

Roussette I suspect that if you and I met in real life we'd probably get on well

Thalia. That's it.

So. Many. Horrible. Clothes.

Hey that duo with Joe McElderry in it is back - hooray!

What was that about the Saturday winner will take on the Sunday winner? When, also on Sunday? I should have been paying more attention. Still don't understand.

Stylists have been busy already - I can see some dodgy outfits.

I’d rather stay home & eat frazzles than meet pink

Join the club Rousette I am on the too

Did y'all see Tracy-Leanne?

noisy Ditto! Need to watch this.

We have fireworks all over the place tonight. They are disturbing my shit watching time.

Oh lordy me, what is Tracy Leanne wearing that doesn't involve boobs

Me too nancy well eat frazzles and drink

Frazzles & wine sound good to me!

It's a shame they haven't answered our repeated calls for a trapdoor and crocodiles.

Same dillite it makes me They are constant here atm
