Hello everyone! Here is a thread for tonight's premiere episode of The X Factor: Series 11.
Having grown bored of the show after Simon/Cheryl/Dannii left, I am very excited to see how the show feels with Simon and Cheryl back, and Mel B completing the panel.
Has potential to be a classic lineup (Louis thinks it's the show's best ever), and with Simon back I bet the show is more enjoyable overall (not just because of his appearance on-camera, but his influence off-camera).
Less than 6 hours to go until tonight's 90-minute opener!!!

Looking forward to the show!
Are we using this thread for tomorrow's show as well?
Like the fact they are spreading out the auditions out over weekends, saves time so we get to Bootcamp, Judges Houses and the lives quicker
I think another thread for tomorrow's episode I don't mind making it tomorrow if no one else wants to / does.
It IS the countdown to Christmas... :kitty:
As for the starter post, I'm more of the opposite, I bet the show is going to to be far more 2010-ish manipulated with those two back on the panel. As for the talent, I wouldn't get our hopes up, most of them will be cut long before the live shows as always.
Wish they hadn't lowered the age limit down to 14 though. Kids are a pain and need their egos molly-coddling too much to be entertaining. >:(
OUCH - this guy on ITV2+1...
A wise move on Cowell's part as the ratings were undoubtedly going down. Like him or loathe him he really does bring in the viewer audience.
I once watched a documentary he made about his 'life story'. He's actually quite funny and indulges a lot of self deprecating humour. Worships the ground his mother walks on and his brother, who looks nothing like him.....has the identical voice. It was weird to hear!
I won't hate on 2011 too much though purely because it gave us Little Mix and they are brilliant!!
30mins to go!!
Ta for the thread.
2011 had so much potential but the production of the show was a disaster and it's never recovered since. Will tonight be the start of the comeback?
I'm glad its back,,i do love a good moan
I love reading here while it's on.
I'm not averse to a bit of a moan myself :kitty:
