    Some dodgy decisions:
    Rejecting Rachael, Sina and Soni and MaryAnne and keeping Marlisa, Brothers 3 (who were as bad as S & S) and the wheelchair dude were :confused: in particular.

    Plus I thought Jaymie was lucky that the standard in the Boys category is quite low

    Judges this year have the following categories:

    Dannii: The groups
    Redfoo: Over 25's
    Natalie: The boys
    Ronan: The girls

    Foo getting the Overs is still weird for me. Yes, he was in his 30s when he created LMFAO, but what else? The only upside is his Berry Gordy, Jr. (who is alive) connection.

    Okay so my updated preferred Top 12 (bar in mind this is before any of the Overs, Boys or Groups perform solo):

    Girls:

    Shanelle Dargan (far and away)
    Codi Kaye or Marlisa
    Sydnee (her latest performance was very poor but she has a good voice)

    Overs:

    Riegan Derry
    Amali Ward
    Daniel Kellart

    Boys:

    Tee
    James Johnston (better than Jaymie Deboucherville in terms of WGWG's)
    Dean

    Groups:
    Trinity
    Trill
    Majick Honey

    There's no way we'll get three girlbands through but the two boybands shown haven't wowed me at all. Hoped for a manufactured Mixed Group

    Hey, would someone mind linking me up to where you're able to watch full episodes? I really wanted to get into this series, but haven't been able to find a decent channel. Thanks in advance :)

    was hoping Danni got the Over as they are 1 of if not the strongest cat & redfoo will ruin them IMO

    Think the manufactured girlband will be interesting, the boyband seems too similar to previous flop boybands like All About tonight judging on them individually

    I am kind of happy with the categories atm, each one still has my favourite left as well others I really like, a bit sad to see S&S go as well as Rachael but glad that Sydnee, Chloe, Jaymie, Dean, Trill, Trinity and Brothers 3 are through, hope they're all in the top 12 :D

    LOVED Marlissa:D best of the girls imo

    Even when she forgot the words, Sydnee still sounded great. She's my personal fav:)

    Still can't get over Rachael being sent home. Beatz and Mary too:(

    I cant believe Rachel,Beatz and Mary were sent home so early.They made such a big deal about all of them !I thought maybe they might be wildcards but wildcards are always picked from contestants at Judges Houses stage,find it very strange!

    RACHAEL IS OUT!!!!!!:o:o

    Stupid decision:cry:

    Why, yes she did a great first audition, but we haven't seen everything that the judges have seen. They have to handle singing a new song given to them at a moments notice. They also have to perform minus their guitars and harmonise with other singers. They will be thrown out of their comfort zone every week! Maybe Rachel's performance at Boot camp wasn't as strong as the others that were there. We only see a very small part of what they did on the day so we aren't in any position to judge;-)

    Marlisa and Sydnee also messed up but were put through on the basis of how strong they have been, Rachael's audition was one of the best so a lot of us cant understand he logic there

    Where has it been said that Rachel has been put out of the competition. We have only seen half of Ronan's 12 contestants and he hasn't said which 6 he is taking to judges houses yet. There are 2 more episodes of Boot Camp left before that happens:confused:

    if you pause when its revealed he has the girls you can see who the 12 are she isnt there so she has been eliminated

    Ahh ok. Now I could be wrong here but could the Australian "wild card" be that the audience gets to vote back an act from each category that they want back into the competition. If they have left out strong competitors then the chances are they will get voted back into the show.

    Just remembered didn't someone say that they saw Rachel in the picture of Ronan in NY with his girls at home visits:confused

    Last year in the UK show they had the "chair" where the judges had to choose one to swap over in their 6 - maybe a switch will be made at the end of the week?
