In the absence of anyone else doing it, I am starting a thread.

Come spin with me!

What is Cheryl’s role exactly if she’s not making decisions?

The judges always have a 'mentor' with them to help them choose the acts at this stage.

So we don't think it's all down to the producers who found them all on social media platforms.

But I've been watching too long and I'm a cynic. Grin
But I love it, because it's so bad.

Cheryl Cole is a crap singer. I never got the hype around her.

bungobungobungo · 10/10/2026 20:47

@Raahhha me too!

Thestealer · 10/10/2026 20:48

Drum and Bass gives me a headache.

Raahh · 10/10/2026 20:48

This is crackers- there is nothing at all about them that can be compared. Grin

Quaking in my boots now!

Raahh · 10/10/2026 20:51

I think the solo bloke is good-bit too close to the original.

But- I did like the drum and bass group, because they were different

Raahh · 10/10/2026 20:53

Idon't think that worked for the drum and bass lot- and it's a shame, although the other bloke was good.

Trouble is- all of Will's acts are all pretty different- which make this round odd.

Other judges have more 'generic' acts.

Raahh · 10/10/2026 20:55

This lot could just be a group together.

If it was X Factor, that is definitely what would happen. Nana is fab, but they fit together well.

Raahh · 10/10/2026 20:57

Will has put the acapella /opera together?

The one who was having a baby Grin

NoisyBrain · 10/10/2026 20:58

Right, dinner eaten.
Agree that Diogo and Triple Threat couldn't be compared easily!

Raahh · 10/10/2026 20:59

They actually all fit together really well - which is not how the battle rounds usually work.

I think Will has a strong team.

Apart from the first pair- most could go through as a group Grin

Cheryl needs to take her shoes off the chair. I’m appalled and shocked and disappointed.

Don't like the Carmen lot. One of them’s a bit shrill. But that might be my old telly.

NoisyBrain · 10/10/2026 21:06

Ooh a double cull!

Raahh · 10/10/2026 21:07

I am so confused by all this.

I can't figure out who is through.

Raahh · 10/10/2026 21:09

So- a round is still missed out because we don't get the 'steal' bit- and they are through to the semi final?

Raahh · 10/10/2026 21:10

I'm lost Confused]

Raahh · 10/10/2026 21:11

So, despite the fact most of Will's groups were better, all the solo acts wents through.

bungobungobungo · 10/10/2026 21:11

Confused too as I thought the mentor actually spent time with the acts and coached them?

Raahh · 10/10/2026 21:12

Yes- what happened to that? And the boxing ring -in front of an audience- round.

So- pointless.

NoisyBrain · 10/10/2026 21:12

This show gets weirder/more confusing every year. And still fails to produce any long-term stars*

All Hail Becky Hill!

bungobungobungo · 10/10/2026 21:13

Ooh yes boxing ring.

Raahh · 10/10/2026 21:14

Here's an idea- why didn't Will bring becky in as a mentor?

Bloody hell, this is dated as hell. Didnt we say they were Boyz2Men.

Will an extra.
