INTRODUCTION
Denizens of the Digital Spy forums, it is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to my newest creation. I've recently come back to the DS forum after a break of a few weeks, and I thought the best way to re-introduce myself would be to announce a game. I'm not new to hosting games, having hosted three series of The Mix Factor and one series of DS: The Mix-Up and Mix It Up! each.

Anyway, this new game is called The Twist Factor, and as the name implies, it will feature a plethora of twists. Nothing that makes you want to throw your laptop or computer out of the window or anything, just a bit of added spice to differentiate it from the numerous other games going on at the moment. I got the idea from a game called DS: Shake It Up!, which was hosted on this very forum quite a while back. I've kindly asked its creator, April (aprilj), to borrow a few key elements and she has given me permission to do so. So without further ado, let's go over the format real quick:

THE FORMAT

The Twist Factor will run just like any other forum game based off The X Factor's format. There will be four judges, four categories and a number of live shows with one or two acts leaving each show until a winner is crowned. However, there will be numerous twists throughout the series, which will make it a bit harder than the average X Factor forum game. Time-wise, this will be a a pretty short series, as it will probably consist of about eight or nine live shows.

Now, I am in need of four judges that are up for a challenge. I do however expect a few things from these judges. Firstly, they need to be able to handle any type of act. Secondly, they should be able to respect the haphazard nature of the game and refrain from quitting if something happens they do not like. Finally, they must be able to enjoy themselves in these games. Oh, and being able to pick songs before deadlines would help as well.

WHERE CAN I SIGN UP?

Anyone can sign up, as long as they appreciate a challenge. I'm not going to lie, there WILL be a few crazy twists and insane themes. People new to these forum games shouldn't be scared of applying though, as I always aim to create diverse and dynamic panels. Speaking of applying, that is exactly how you get into this game. In my games, I always work with application forms instead of a invitation-based or first come first served system. If you want to join the game, please fill in the application form below:
Spoiler

So if you like a challenge and can't wait to get yourself involved in one of the amazing forum games we have here on The X Factor forum, please fill in the form and PM it to me (EndOfSanity)!

I'll keep the application process running for as long as I need to, but I'm going to aim to close it on either Sunday or Monday evening, giving you either 2 or 3 days to apply. Trust me, this game is going to be DS gold!

As I said, nothing too bad. However, you can expect to see crazy things like weird themes, multi-eliminations, immunity from elimination for one show and that sort of thing.

Getting a few applications already, please continue applying everyone!

Also, feel free to post on the thread whether you have applied or not, interest in the game is always a good thing.

I'm already fairly certain that a certain few applicants will be on the panel, but don't let that stand in your way of applying as I will ultimately try to create a panel that's diverse and interesting!

When do we find out on who the panel is?

Either Sunday evening around 7 PM or Monday evening around 7 PM, depending on whenever I think I have enough applications. As it stands now, Sunday seems to be the likely day to post the launch thread.

Keep those applications coming in people, the more people I can choose from the better the result will be!

The application process will CLOSE on Monday evening at 7 PM. That means there's still an entire day to get your own application in and to be honest, I could use a few more...

I've received some very interesting applications so far, and quite a large number of forum members from other parts of the DS forums that would enjoy a challenge. Rest assured the panel will be VERY interesting indeed once I've finalized it. In the meantime, please throw your name into the hat if you haven't already, more options is always a good thing!

Three of the judges have more or less been picked, but I'm still trying to find someone to fill that last spot while keeping the panel dynamic as a whole. If you want that spot and haven't applied yet, please apply!

Anyway, I've mentioned before that the launch show will take place tonight at 7 PM. During this show, the judges will be announced, the categories will be revealed (with a twist of course!) and we'll hopefully get the act line-up done so I can provide you with the first theme of the show!

That's it, I have decided which four forum members will sit alongside each other on the panel. Each of you has been sent a message, so if you haven't received one I'm sorry to tell you that I have not picked you. I considered everyone though, and I hope that those who did not get picked stick around to view and vote.

Now, let's get down to business and start introducing our four judges!

All right, our first judge is someone who's made quite a name for herself on this forum lately, in both a positive and in a negative way. She's a staunch protector of what she perceives to be good song choices, and everyone thinking otherwise is going to have a hard time convincing her. She's also no newcomer to these crazy types of games, as she won a show called Shake It Up, which this series is based on. Please give it up for the amazing:
