The X Factor – Bootcamp at the Judges Houses
OK, we’re moving into the part of X Factor that I love – the run-up to the live shows – but before that, 24 contestants are set to become the final 12.
If the figures are to be believed, roughly 182,000 applied. I don’t know about you, but when I hear those figures, I often wonder about how many candidates are potential basket cases. Anyway…this week’s episode sees our shortlisted singers visit the Judges houses. Well, probably not their real houses. Let’s face it, would you let an X Factor applicant into your house?
Tonight, each category – Girls, Boys, Groups, Old People – will be represented. At this stage, there are six acts in each group. The delightful Cheryl Cole is mentoring the girls, Simon Cowell has got the boys groups, Dannii Minogue is mentoring the “it’s my last shot at fame” group (AKA the Over 25s). The ‘fabulous’ Louis Walsh is mentoring the groups, which is ironic since he’s been auditioning for his own girl group separately. Well, I suppose he’s got the qualifications for it if anyone has.
