Enjoy the weekend and a good evening to everybody!

All spoilers in tags

Bit early

Today's the day then we finally find out who may be going to butcher Thriller

If they give that iconic song to Rylan AND blow the budget on him so he can go and ruin it......

I wouldn't be surprised if they gave something like Ghostbusters to Rylan...and I agree, I hope Thriller is left alone this year...

Teaser for Rylan

Oh.........

For this week in history, you should mention Cher's cover of Stay, and the moment Johnny got a kiss off Gary

Why does Simon Cowel wants Christopher out? Does Chris remind him on one of his favourite conestant Daniel Evans?

Something tells me a certain John Landis short subject is going to get a LOT of playout tonight...

As brainbleach.

missing it tonight because I'm out.. will catch up tomorrow, whatever state i'm in

probably. It's probably because he doesn't think he'll be successful.

Not looking forward to the theme tonight tbh.

Lucy the talker through to next week as she is 'too ill' to perform and has been given a bye

OMG... roll on the results show because I love Fun.

Samhain is a religious holiday for me so I hope Rylan brings it!!

That is a shame... I remember poor Diana Vickers suffering for missing a week

What about when Jade had serious problems with her vocals....? How come she wasn't allowed a week off. I disliked this policy when they allowed Diana through, and my views haven't changed. Seems really unfair on the other contestants.

There is already quite an outrage about the Lucy situation.

Hi all, was wondering what time, we would get the thread. Best part of the show is THE thread

Understandable, as its not very fair on the person who has to leave tomorrow

And they are not going to stop the voting for one week as the money is too important to them

Another outrage is just what they don't need given how this year is tanking already and falling way behind Strictly already

You'll get no argument from me

Rumours...

Kye Sones - ‘Let Me Entertain You'

Rylan - Some Jackson number :yawn:

Chris - Better Than the devil you know

James - Zomie

Jahmene - It will Rain

Ella - Fighter

Jade - Disturbia

Sadly it was rumoured that Lucy would do 'I Predict A Riot', best choice of the lot

Were are these rumors from?

UnrealityTV

Hi everyone, jaded, rhumble & JR, yes indeed the thread is the best thing.about the X Factor. I watched last night's American X Factor, Judges Houses and the talent was far better than ours. Now I don't normally like child acts but there were a couple of 13 year old's that were phenomenal, I hope I don't sound too Jimmy Savilerish

Cece Frey FTW!!
