    On this new promo it shows Jennifer Lopez joining Nat at judges homes and John Legend at someone's judges homes too

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujtl9YP900A

    So Nat may have the Boys by the sound of the screams then maybe?

    I think John Legend will assist the Girls and J-Lo will assist Nat and the Boys. Why can't the UK have this?

    Christopher Maloney will be the wildcard, I believe.

    I'd guess the wild card will be similar to here in the uk each judge will pick a extra person to take through to the lives but australia will vote on which one gets to stay and other 3 eliminated or something very similiar to that's

    Even the British press are picking up on The X Factor vs The Voice next week (Dannii vs Kylie)

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2682059/Kylie-Minogue-Dannii-head-head-reality-TV-ratings-judging-spots-The-Voice-X-Factor.html#comments

    Interesting how most of the comments prefer Dannii and X Factor.

    Apparently Dannii may have the groups, and that she is aiming for a girl band to take the music industry by storm .

    If this is true....I sure would be curious to see how she handles the groups.

    So from the promo's
    Nat has the boys
    and Ronan has the girls going from that pic in New York
    so I am guessing Danni has the groups as she had the overs last year so that would leave Foo with the overs.

    ^^Agreed with above^^

    Would make sense from the pattern that:
    1st Place Mentor gets 3rd Place Category
    2nd Place Mentor gets 4th Place Category
    3rd Place Mentor gets 2nd Place Category
    4th Place Mentor gets 1st Place Category

    That method is regularly used for XFUK anyway, and gives all mentors and categories a pretty fair and balanced chance statistically speaking.

    How when cheryl always gets the girls or boys ?
    And Louis has always been stuck with the groups and overs majority of the time lol

    It's regularly used but the judges are able to request their categories to be changed, as Nicole revealed she asked for her and Louis' categories to be swapped in 2012 so she could have the Boys (originally assigned to Louis), hence the occasional discrepancy from the formula

    Every judge should be treated equally ....even just drawing names from a hat would be good .

    Honestly think that's how it should be done as I agree all judges should be treated fairly

    Theyre putting all eggs in Nats basket. She needs to win now, shes under pressure this year.

    Im looking forward to see what Dannii does. Im also curious to see how the show will go with all the talk of talent drying up.
    Producers talk about sob stories which is neg. I want to be entertained not depressed.

    Poor Nat she def does need a win or at least an act in the final.The boys were very good last year though so I am not sure if they will be as good this year,time will tell I guess.

    I think this year they will want a group and a girl in the final as there were none last year.

    Taylor has had huge success so I think that can inspire boys leaving Nat with a good shot if she has them. She really has to be in the final or she will be axed. Simon is watching and he will want result now.

    The new twist is sounding awesome. I wonder if the aussie show is a test for it as it begins first.

    Anyone watching in Australia? The show has started. Just looking at the Australian trends on twitter and the top trending topic is #xfactoraus with the rest of them related to the show.
