Apparently, Gingzilla (the drag queen) leaves Robbie 'deliciously confused' Grin. I wish Louis (Walsh) was there Sad

Now, I like Ru Paul's drag race- but usually, they lip sync, and it's rare that any or of them can actually sing. In fact, a big deal is made of the fact most of them can't.

I hope he dances- I'd like to see a death drop.

It's all getting a bit too gimmicky of late on X Factor though- but on the plus side, they are singing '7 Nation Army' by the White Stripes, and not something 'brave and life affirming' from the bloody Greatest Showman.Grin(Which is going on my X Factor 2018 Bingo card)

Not sure what nibbles I have , but I do have a bottle of wine. Which I might need. Grin

See y'all later

Oh God!!! 😫 My neighbours 16 year old auditioned for X Factor this year. She was asked to sing Proud Mary and Natural Woman plus others. She made a showreel and was turned down... and these get rapturous applause!

Freak show... for sure.

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:42

I was nearly right. They are just sat in a room, looking at videos.

No tea though.

I preferred bootcamp.

Why is Louis wearing my PE suit from the early 2000's?

TheFairyCaravan · 23/09/2018 20:43

It’s Cuprinol girl

nancy75 · 23/09/2018 20:43

Young kids would be excited? Ha ha Simon, you should be a comedian.

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:43

Can they get rid of the annoying Scouser?

Of course they wont.

Cuprinol? I thought her name was Ronseal?

Piggywaspushed · 23/09/2018 20:44

dillite : there are actual sizeable towns in both NI and Scotland. I think the producers tell them it sounds a bit sheltered, backward and cute.

I have heard of Limavady and I ahve never been to NI!

They do it on The Voice, too.

Coming from Scotland, small town often means arse end of nowhere shithole...

nancy75 · 23/09/2018 20:44

I remember the pound shop ed Sheeran & the girl covered in bisto as fake tan

Oddcat · 23/09/2018 20:44

They can't possibly remember all of them

dillite · 23/09/2018 20:45

We just had an ad!

Piggywaspushed · 23/09/2018 20:46

Just got to the gospel band. Were they not a bit shit??

NoisyBrain · 23/09/2018 20:47

piggy Yes. Yes they were.

Oddcat · 23/09/2018 20:47

They were Piggy

nancy75 · 23/09/2018 20:47

Piggy I think it’s gair to say they were a lot shit, not just a bit

IdahoJones · 23/09/2018 20:48

So they said Yes to 70+ people that they're now actually saying No to, having brought them to London to not sing again, just stand there crying?

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:48

I feel sad that we are not getting to see them singing behind bushes at Boot CampSad.

I'd rather they had ditched the 6 chair challenge. Unless crocodiles are involved.

Apparently, they can't be swapped from the chair once they are given it, this year. I think. So they will have to be very sure they make the right choice.

I think that those in the no camp know they are no's and were hired by the producers to come on and be told no to. I bet many of the far flung ones will be in that camp.

NoisyBrain · 23/09/2018 20:49

Raahh I do wish they'd stop fucking around with the format. If they're under the impression that it makes it more exciting they're sadly mistaken.

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:49

Idaho yes, in a nut shellGrin

And not even 2 days in a posh house , with the chance to learn the words to 'Last request ' by Paolo Nutini, first, either.

I'm sure I saw a YouTube clip of a busker in the USA and then he appeared on here .

Raahh · 23/09/2018 20:51

Where have they been for 48 hours, the poor sods?

In that room?

I hope they got a McDonalds breakfast at least.

I didn't watch most of the auditions but I still don't remember most of those people :D

NoisyBrain · 23/09/2018 20:52

I didn't recognise any of them in the rejects room

Piggywaspushed · 23/09/2018 20:52

Have they dumped Boot Camp, in fact, because that's where all the tabloid antics took place??
