So they formed 2 manufactured groups out of solo acts at bootcamp and this is all information I can gather so far .. Feel free to correct it if I got anything wrong.
5 Piece Girl Group
1. Lydia Lucy
2. Saffron Silva
3. Leah Gooden (most likely since @dazgale said she is in a band)
4. ??????
5. ??????
8 Piece Boy Band (their 6 chair challenge performance got standing ovation from judges & audiences)
1. Tom Mann
2. Barclay Beales
3. Jake Sims
4. Casey Cody Johnson
5. James Graham
6. Chris Leonard
7. Reece ?????? (not sure about his last name)
8. Charlie Jone (not sure but most likely since group age range is 14-20 and this guy is 14)
I hope everyone can find out about other members of the girl group and verify the members of the boyband. Thank you !!!

Maybe they run out of idea how to make a unique band so I guess, that's how it is.
There is a popular KPOP boyband whose got more than 10 members, Super Junior and it works somehow .. Maybe cuz they all can dance ..
No way will that work, at least as it is, long term.
With those ages alone only half the group will only be able to do a lot of the work due to filming restrictions on those under 16
I think Charlie Jones is the only 14 there, the rest of the group is 16-20.
Tom Mann is the oldest of the group if I'm not wrong. It's kinda suitable since he looks after kids and is a football coach based on his audition last year
I never know Liam Payne is lethargic
I hope the group works too and if it does, it's gonna be something new, something that didn't exist yet. Most of them can play guitar so I don't know if all of them are gonna play guitar and sing at some point
You're talking about inTENsity on X Factor USA season 1, right ?
Do they have large group on X Factor UK too ? :O
Yea on one of the earlier season they had a group of family members about 6/7 think there were called unconventionals
Oh thank you, I just checked them out on YouTube and they aren't even marketable at all, they are around 30-40s and it's not gonna click with audiences
The only worry about 8 piece boy band is they might end up like inTENsity in X Factor USA season 1 .. Likeable but bit messy on stage ..
Anyway, I just found out another member of girl group,
And this is her twitter - https://twitter.com/SavannahOReilly
Female One Direction ? I hope it works

That's true, 8 members sound alot to me, I don't really know how it will work but we will need to wait and see how it will be translated on TV ..

1. Tom Mann
2. Barclay Beales
3. Jake Sims

A video of her on the voice, hopefully you's will recognize her.
I will be extremely upset if she doesn't get through as I bought her album and her voice is extremely incredible. Her voice isn't as strong as Leona's but her range actually is as big (maybe bigger, idk. I've not measured it)
Girl groups + Boy groups from 4-5+ solo artists being put together! It's OLD NEWS!
How tedious to have another interviewer saying to a new bunch of people "so you were solo artists and then you became a group and it just worked - you all get on!"
Pfffttt! No thanks!
Unless it was like a mixed gender group like 3 guys and 3 girls in the one group or something. Or 3 guys 2 girls or 2 guys and 3 girls in the one group.
Not like Steps, S Club 7 etc that was the old cheesy days. Something modern.
We don't have any cool, modern mixed gender groups. That would be at least a bit more refreshing!
To make mixed group works, it's really hard, I believe.
Australian version had their 1st manufactured mixed group ''Third D3gree'' and it works on the show but after the show, it seems everyone tears apart since their friendship wasn't that real as the way same gender piece groups work.
I think formula to make mixed group is that either they know each other very well or at least have some friendship. You can check out ''Only The Young'', the mixed group auditionee this season, all of them got along so well and that's why it works.
Hopefully, they might consider forming mixed group next season if Only The Young works on the show
I'm kinda interested to see how 8 piece band is gonna work and I hope I'm not the only one
With Louis given the category they probably don't have high hopes, though.
Louis got Union J to 4th place & last year got 2 boys to finale ..
I don't think they dance, tho since most of them play guitar & sing .. They are acoustic kinda guys .. Maybe acoustic pop/rock band ..
Any acoustic shizz will not work because there will be plenty of ballast left over during every performance.
I don't think all of them are allowed to go pub at night when they are on the show :O
Anyway, the oldest one is Tom Mann, 20, he is a kid football coach and he brought alot of kids to audition last year which means he knows well how to get along with little kid so he might get along with these guys too
As far as I'm stalking right now, they only got 2 members who are 14 & 15, the rest of them are 17-20
But I can't say much about this since we haven't seen them yet but most of them already tweet each other and seem like they are getting along. Especially, older lads kinda call 14 years old like little brother. Let's just be optimistic right now
Well, we still don't know yet what kind of artist they are gonna be .. But if Luke Friend works, this group is gonna work too, they are probably like Luke Friend version but as a group
Fingers crossed for Only The Young
No one got anyone to anywhere because the whole thing is pre-fixed. Louis just sits there reading his script, as do all the other judges, to convince the Proles who they like & dislike. The editing, song-choice, staging, back stage comments etc does the rest.
I can't see an eight piece boy band working. It's hard enough to remember names in a smaller group (that's why JLS used different colours, to help people remember who's who).
Plus you're only going to have one (maybe two) singing lead, so the rest are going to be used for the background.
The only advantage is if any of them forget the words, it will likely go unnoticed (unless they are singing lead of course) ;-)
EDIT: Regarding only one or two singing lead, they tried everyone singing a bit with the Unconventionals and it was a disaster (remember week 1) ;-)
