Olly Murs promises a BIG TWIST on next week’s X Factor live show
The X Factor live shows start next week and tonight, Dermot O’Leary announced that viewers should expect some sort of twist when it all kicks off.
Xtra Factor host Olly Murs confirmed the news on his Facebook page this evening and told his followers:
FINAL 16!!! So happy i can talk about it now!!! PLUS BIG TWIST NEXT WEEK!! what do you think it is???x
So what do you think it might be?
Last year the judges introduced wildcards for their twist, each bringing back one contestant to join the live show lineup and make the final 12 a final 16. It led to the comeback of Wagner, Paije Richardson, Treyc Cohen and Diva fever.
However, we don’t think this will be the case in 2011, as we already have 16 contestants and surely 20 would be way too many…..unless they start double eliminations of course.
We’re feeling a bit drained and all X Factored out this evening, so we’d love to hear your thoughts and predictions about what the twist might be in the comments section below.
Get speculating!

So want terry back in it he’s a legend
want LUKE LUCAS BACK HE IS GREAT
think luke lucas should come back
I think the judges will all be swapped around and some poor bugger will have louis’ group!
Think Louis will get sacked live on tele for being a rubbish judge
I want Melanie back, she is amazing, so sad that she didn’t get through, she was much better than misha! She just screeches IMHO
Oh God, it’s Simon. XF from the other side is sucking, big time, so he’s gonna ease his way in. Please God don’t let me be right!
OMG ….. Friend in the business has just advised that Simon is back with a U.S category !!!! Hot off the press …….acts include biggy Big Dog, NTS, FWHAK & Troy Thynne
Ye gods… Can he not keep his mitts off? I like the new judges. And does that mean that the UK hopefuls have to compete alongside the US candidates? Surely not. FFS!
I want Melanie BACK
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring Jade back! She could have a real chance i know for a fact that i could listen to her voice over and over, and she is so down to earth!!
i want john back. hes amazing.
bring john wilding back, as gary said hes an amazing singer so he deserves to be there !!!!
yep john and jade deserve to come back, i know its doubtful that they will bring back wild cards as there is already 16 through, i have heard that they are planning a three hour show next weekend compared to last years 2 1/2 hr long first live show, sooo maybe just maybe…..
BRING BACK LUKE LUCAS
As the series will only run for about 12 weeks, I think that they need to get rid of some now. Could it be that the ones with lowest vote score within each group next week would have to leave? That would eliminate 4 acts, leaving 12 to go through? Just a thought !!
great theory
Bring back Jade!!!!!
I WANT GOLDIE BACK!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GGOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DID YOU LEAVE? I LOVE YOU!
Firstly i have to say that Kelly is a complete muppet for not putting Jade through!
I think the twist will either be Cheryl coming back with some of the ones sent home OR they will bring back 1 contestant that was sent home to join each group and have a double elimination!
The twist better be to bring back Joe and Jade…
A Wildcard choice expanding to 20 contestants is obnoxious, there is NO WAY that a single judge that would have the capacity to mentor 5 acts…..too much pressure, plus tabloids are getting on my nerves.
another judge will join the panel and pick 4 who didnt make it through
BRING BACK LUKE LUCAS!!!!
I bet Simon’s coming back and he’s gonna cut 4 acts he doesn’t like OR there’s gonna be camera’s in the X Factor house OR GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDGOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!GOLDIE!COME’S BACK!
louis is stupid for sending home sammi for goldie but thank god she’s still in it and kelly is dumb for sending home jade for janet the twist is obvious a wild card so there will be 20 contestants and then double eleminations also the likely odd is that matt cardle will meet the contestants for the first week but is it true???
I want Jade back!!!
Matt Cardle is on the first live show performing on the sunday his new single comes out monday
Bring back LUKE LUCAS!!! What were you thinking? X
the rumors of the camera in the house is true cuz thats why goldie left but i dont want that to be the twist
i want terry, luke lucas, the lovettes and jade back !!!
AND GOLDIE…YOU WANT HER BACK TOO!!!
I think they will change the judges’ categories. After the Top 16 introduction, they told it was going to be a twist and then we saw each judge talking how their categories is amazing.
i think will be a guest judge all the weeks. They will start with Simon.
20 is too much.
I perfectly agree…
The twist is that the ones with talent, John, jade, Melanie, lascel, Luke, get through after all, and it’s all been just a bad dream. Or not. Someone give them a recording contract and make sure they release a Christmas single….ex X Factors …
I think Danni will be back as an impartial judge!
I think the twist could perhaps be the judges having their category changed or a quadruple boot with one act leaving each category x
I think they should bring back max vickers he’s so talented and cute!and gary liked him!!
Joe, Max or John & I don’t mind which replace Frankie because of his bad behaviour! After all Gary wants the show to set a good eXample to youngsters & you can’t say Frankie does that from what I hear! Still <3 The Captain though!
I think it will have something to do with simon cowell
I like the idea of an other judge either Simon (But he’s busy with US X Factor) or Cheryl coming back with a mixed group, one act of each of the catagories that didn’t make the final. I’d Like JOE, JADE, TERRY & LOVETTES
If jade isnt back in ithink people should boycott the show
Bring back Jade, she was amazing! Dont think any of the girls that got through stand a chance of winning, Kelly made a mistake sending Jade home. Hopefully the twist is that they’ve brought her back! Along with Terry!
Well I think 4 rejects will be with Simon,
The show has been extended to 3 hour shows this year
Why has it been extended?
More people singing?
i hope jade and terry come back
x
Please ollie if your out there get gary barlow to see sense and bring back john adams and get kelly to listen to the public, we want jade richards, and let the fifth judge the public decide on who stays and who goes even if it means double elimination or one act from each judge with the lowest amount of votes
Swap the judges around with there catergories, that will stir things up.No more contestants or this will become a joke.
Hope John Wilding and Jade Richards are back.Amazing singers.
The shock twist is that Kitty is, in fact, a man
Ill bet. . Cole is back and shes gets to pick 4 people jade terry john max lease cole new wat she was doing . Hope shes back. . .
They bring CHICO back as the 5th judge!
was just announced on Sky news!
yes, i heard that too…doesnt make sense! they might as well bring Jedward in!
come on tell me…why you take so long to tell me..
G Cheung yesterday -hillarious!
I Want Terry and Jade back!!!!!
i totally think that they will either swap the judges around so that they mentor different acts, or simon coming back is not a BIG twist, and theres rumours that cheryl cole might be coming back. another twist could be that one act from each judge goes home (the ones with the fewet votes) its defo not 20 acts> too much pressure!!
Want cheryl back and want Tulisa to have the girls <3
i heard off twitter that cheryl cole will be coming back and mentoring a group of one boy, one girl, one over 28, and one group, but 5 judges? and 20 acts? bloody hell…
A forum member from Popjustice predicted this.
“Performance Night
All the 16 acts perform on the live show. X Factor as usual.
Results Night
- The acts with the lowest public vote from each category get eliminated. Leaving only 12 acts, three for each judge.
- Cheryl returns as a mentor for the wildcard category
- Along with her are her THREE wildcard acts from the current season.
- It will be revealed that she was viewing every contestant’s development throughout the competition.
- This will make way for brand, new X Factor TOP 15.”
I personally think its simon coming back. Whether its with a US category or not is another question. But if it is then i can see them letting the US vote
Isn’t Cheryl going to do “The Voice” for BBC1? If she appears as a surprise fifth Judge on the X-Factor wouldn’t that have contract implications?
Bring back Luke Lucas
It has to be a Simon wildcard. Luke Lucas has had more airtime throughout this series, he also had more airtime this weekend and he got dropped. He was in all the newspapers today and all the tv shows were talking about Luke, rather than who got through. My guess is that Luke Lucas will be back? His audition was superb.
i think that a newer jugde will bring a wildcard catorgory
and over the course of the next few week double emilinations will take place, kelly doesnt no whats she on about how can you send jade home pure talent gone to waste !!!!
The twist is there is no twist !!!
They all get given a TWIST ICE LOLLY
SO THERE ALL GONNA BE DANCING TO THE TWIST AGAIN LIKE THEY DID LAST SUMMER LOOOOOOOOl
WHO CARES !!!!!
BRING DANNY MINOGUE BACK -
I recon that cheryle cole will come back on xfactor because simon offerd her 11 million to go ack on xfactor so i recon tha one of the knew juges will leave and bring back ccheryle cole
Apparently the 4 acts that were kicked out return with cheryl as their new mentor…
Well I definitely enjoyed studying it. This article offered by you is very effective for accurate planning.
