Betting already that it will be shite. Would be happy to be pleasantly surprised tho. I will probably watch it anyway for the craic.

 

If they can just drop the heavy handed manipulation that would be fab.

Predicting that someone will perform Million Reasons and it will fly up the chart.

HERE for it!

Praying for a ban on all Ed Sheeran songs.

After all of the talk about there being no joke acts this year, well, there could be one afterall :lol:

 

 

 

Looking forward to the revamp, at least the lives will be interesting.

 

Guest performances I should imagine Lady Gaga will get a gig, she is touring this autumn (London, Birminigham & Manchester: 9-17 October 2017) and also touring Little Mix.

I bet he's referring to Slavko (who was on the first X Factor advert a few weeks ago), Montenegro's Eurovision entry this year as Louis was also at Eurovision with the Irish delegation!

 

This guy is performing this song at the auditions this weekend, I actually quite love this! :lol:

 

 

(If you class this as a spoiler then feel free to split it into a separate spoilers thread, not sure if its a spoiler though as its all over social media)

Nah little stuff like that is fine in here :lol:

 

Omg if Slavko is Louis' "novelty" act!!

The X Factor returns to our screens on ITV next month! Simon, Sharon, Louis and Nicole are all back for the shows 14th series.

 

The Six Chair Challenge is currently being filmed.

 

Big changes have been confirmed by Simon, including themes FINALLY being scrapped and the live shows have apparently been cut down to six weeks, but with acts performing and leaving on both the Saturday and Sunday night each weekend.

 

Speaking at the recent filming of bootcamp in London, Simon reportedly told crowds: "All these crazy things we used to do with themes have gone, no more jukeboxes, none of that rubbish this year. The public are smart enough to know what’s real, that’s what we are focusing on this year."

 

I always complain about it but I still enjoy it and watch it religiously :P

 

So he admits we all knew that wheel gimmick was complete fakery!! Landing on Xmas themes just on time and others knowing their songs for the next week before it landed lmao.

 

I do wonder what the setup for the series will be... are we getting the standard 6 auditions shows or more? If they're planning on getting rid of people on both Saturday and Sunday live shows then this will be over way before Christmas no?

Hopefully so as to leave Xmas no.1 well alone.

I think it still finishes the same time, I read they are sacrificing live shows in favour of more pre-recorded shows. Idk how I feel about that, I know that a lot of people love the auditions and whilst I enjoy that round I always feel by the time it's over I am ready for the next round so I'm not sure I'd want more. I suppose they could have a show or two of bootcamp, they have that whole bit between auditions and six chair challenge that gets quite quickly glossed over and it feels a bit rushed I don't think we'd want too much of it but I guess that could fill an episode and maybe we could have some more funny auditions to pad out the audition shows without it dragging on too much.

Yay we have

Shape of you AND a separate Ed Sheeran medley to look forward to tomorrow

:nocheer:

I imagine something like that but it seems like 4 episodes of Six Chair will be too much, can't remember what they've done in previous years?

 

 

 

 

It was one epiosde per category last year I think? That seems about right although a whole show for the groups is always a drag :lol:

Yass that Sats relevance!!

 

If it does go on to Xmas it shows what a liar Cowell is, claiming he never wanted the Xmas no.1 and it's just that's when the show ends.

 

Louisa and Matt both missed Christmas #1, Simon isn't stupid he'll know that he doesn't get Xmas #1 willy nilly so I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan's schedule was right actually, to give them more chance at #1 (but I still think the winner won't get a #1).

Looking forward to tonight's show :D

I really feel no hype for this at all. I predict lowest first show viewing figures ever for tonight. The only thing in its favour is every other channel seems to be running shit.

It feels like floggin a dead horse for iTV at thr mo
