It's definitely too much, I don't think they need all this :lol: In previous years they skip through whole bits of bootcamp quite quickly and I think they should stick to that, I et that those bits are needed to cut down on the loads of people who made it through auditions but to televise ALL of it really does just drag. They could easily just allude to the fact that this is the process the contestants go through with a little montage but not show it all... The group bit was just a mess as I said and this solo bit always feels a bit Poundland Six Chair Change as it's the same thing just without the tension and pressure of getting and keeping a seat. There's just not a need for it all :lol: Like they don't show both judges houses songs and that's fine.

My issue with this boot camp thing, its the flashback to the auditions, when acts come to stage to perform are they really needed, we already know what acts are through, we don't need the constant reminder of the auditions of how they got to boot camp, when they can show more acts, its like they show 2 acts, than an ad break, another two acts to follow by another ad break etc etc.

 

Also I find this series is a bit rushed. I think I know who the final 3 girls will be practically, I could easily pick the final 3 already, I can see them going for Holly that's one, as for the other girls the daughter that got picked over her mother, and Gracie. I wouldn't be surprised the 3 piece family band (2 boys and the girl, I can't remember the name of the band) going through to the lives.

 

I just thing this show needs to be shelved for life, sadly its contracted for another 2 years. Just needs something like it with a new concept to it.

Saturday received 4.9 million viewers average and a peak of 5.8 million peak, compared to a 9.3 million average and 10.2 million peak for Strictly, oh dear :drama:

I'm failing to see where the 'huge changes' that were promised are...this series is exactly the same as the last one and the one before. The current 'bootcamp' stage is basically just the arena auditions that used to come after room auditions for 2/3 series a few years ago. The group performances from Saturday night were perhaps the worst ever in that stage. Bring back Gifty et al singing "Work from Home" *.*

 

I'm quite surprised they didn't put Sam Black through but his voice was really boring and he just looked awkward on stage. Very glad Georgina got through, her and Alisah the night before have been the best of the current stage for me.

I'm failing to see where the 'huge changes' that were promised are...

I totally forgot about that :lol: I know they've taken the live show themes out but obviously that hasn't affected the early stages we've seen so far. But they do this every year, make it sound like we're getting a totally new show and there's very minimal change :drama:

Finally caught up, I feel like they've sent all the good guys home & kept the crap ones.

 

A few good singers left in the Girls category at least, and the chair challenge tonight is always so overly melodramatic it's arguably the most entertaining stage of the entire process.

Oh so 6 chair is next week? Yeah they've really dragged this on way too long this year.

 

Another chap I liked out, they're literally gonna be left with that irritating skunkhead representing the boys aren't they.

Really want to like this guy cos he's so against the grain compared to the typical contestant but his antics are always clearly trying to cover up the fact his voice is pretty crap.

SO bored of the Liverpool guy - so, so bored. Didn’t think Clique were that great either and Daniel going was a shock as he’s one of the better ones from the boys :drama:

Jesus this is really dragging that it isn't the six chair challenge yet :lol: Like we've all said, this is just a lesser version of the six chair challenge so that doesn't help either.

Six chairs starts tomorrow! Bootcamp is reaaaally dragging this year though :drama:

So will that mean it's rushed through in one episode or will be all next weekend too? 3 full episodes for 6 chair is really not necessary either.

Thank **** for that - I’m already so bored of boot camp and we’re only 30 minutes in. Rak Su were such bores - what is going on?!?!

This is the first series where I feel like I'm finally losing interest. Need 6 chair challenge pronto

I liked Talia (I think it was) but that's about it so far. Slavko is acceptable for the annual token novelty act.

 

Ugh "last one" they're so blatantly trying to get this girl to win :rolleyes:

This years series has been appalling. If Grace doesn't win it by a landslide then something is seriously wrong.

Don't find her that standout myself but I appreciate she's stuck to her own material so far (but the "song" wasn't any more special than all those boys' ones they sent home in a row last week).

So will that mean it's rushed through in one episode or will be all next weekend too? 3 full episodes for 6 chair is really not necessary either.

Yeah tomorrow and then next weekend I believe!

 

Grace is just phenomenal :wub:

"Roots" was sublime

I put my money on Gracie this year, going all the way, that performance was just stunning, and vocally on point, and a tear jerker of a track that blew me away, gave me goosebumps listening to that.
