After those two relatively difficult themes, I have decided to cut you some slack with this next one. I'm not going to say that it's easy, it's just easier than the previous two...

The theme is: One Hit Wonders

Basically, you can pick any (cover of a) song by any artist as long as one and ONLY one of their singles has charted in the top 20 of any US or UK chart. An artist is not eligible if they either have no singles that charted in the top 20 or have more than one single that did.

Really clear rules if I say so myself, so don't disappoint me with rule breakers please. Happy song hunting everyone!

Ah yes, this is another one that I created and one that I will certainly be using for one of my games when I start hosting again.

Oops, I forgot to mention you in the theme description. Totally not trying to get credit for the theme.

Sorry I have been inactive, been busy with the easter weekend, but I can clearly see that each of my acts have somewhat of a fanbase. I will most definitely try harder this week, and it is a little bit unfair Arin did go as Kevin had more effort put into his song choice that I had in Carolynne's. Well what I wanted to say is I actually haven't looked at what the previous mentors have done with the acts, I don't want to be influenced with what thye have done, im just for doing my thing, and if it works, well that is great I have my own visions, and hopefully they will be shown throughout the series

Sorry for missing tonight. A bit surprised (well a lot surprised) at Girl v Boy and Arin in the bottom and then Arin going!

Thanks for backing my acts though, always appreciated!

It seems I forgot something AGAIN!

This time it's the date for the next show. I have two options for you judges to choose from: Monday or Tuesday. We'll go with the day that receives the majority of the votes. The show will start at 6:20 PM regardless of the day it's on. The deadline for sending in your songs will be either Sunday afternoon or Monday afternoon depending on which day is picked. I'll get to updating the website now, as it's a bit behind...

Tuesday seems to be the preferred day at the moment, but I'll wait and see what Kevin and Soppyfan have to say about it.

Anyway, I've started updating the website. The first thing I did was getting the overview sorted, that's all up to date at this point. Now I just need to fix the rest of the site...

Tuesday is alright for me, although that means I'll have two games to be involved with at once.

You're just an impartial judge over here, so you could just send me your comments if you think it's going to be too much for you.

Oh yeah, I'll do that as soon as the running order is posted.

As we have 3 votes for Tuesday already, the next show is going to be on Tuesday at 6:20 PM for certain!

The deadline for submitting your songs in Monday afternoon, I'd like to see all of you get your songs in by then.

I've received both April's and Kevin's songs already, so the song list will be sent as soon as Barry gets his songs in (hopefully tonight).

Sorry viewers, but this show has been put on hold for a bit as there are some internal problems that need to be sorted. I will announce a new date as soon as I can reliably give you one.

All right, sorry for the 2-week delay everyone. I've been pretty busy and as there was no set date for the fifth live show, this became a low priority. I do want this show finished though, so here I am again with another announcement.

I mentioned internal problems in my last post on this thread. Barry left due to time issues, and April left because of personal reasons. In the meantime, impartial judge Soppyfan has taken charge of April's former team, but we do not have a mentor for Olly Murs, Carolynne Poole and Jake Quickenden yet. If you'd like to sit on the hot seat for a bit, please shoot me a PM and I'll consider you for a place on The Twist Factor's judging panel. Bear in mind that there's only four shows left, so the series will be over in no time if everyone stays where they are for once.

The themes would be so difficult for me! when do you estimate the show will be over?

If all goes well and the judges can keep up with my standard Sunday/Monday-Thursday/Friday schedule, it could be over in about 2 weeks.

And then, I'll be able to have a long break before I start hosting again by May.

Tell me about it, I'll be taking a long break too once this show is (finally) done. This time of the year is usually pretty busy for me, so I'm happy to have found a small window in my schedule to finish this show and keep you from waiting any longer.

Well, I'm off to find songs relating to One Hit Wonders, cause I've been quite busy and nearly forgot about it.

Hmm, there doesn't seem to be much interest in this game anymore... I do want to finish it though, so I might have to revise the format and get this over with within two or so massive shows. Other judges, tell me what you think of this idea please, I've sent you a PM elaborating on my plan a bit more.

With the consent of the two remaining judges, I will go ahead with my plan.

So what's going to happen exactly? Well, firstly the unmentored acts will be eliminated automatically. The order they finished in will be based on the overall stats so far and will be announced at the start of the next show. That leaves us with six acts. Secondly, the number of remaining shows will be cut down from four to two. That's right, next show will actually be the semifinal!

During this semifinal, two acts will be eliminated. There will be two themes, the first being the already decided One Hit Wonders, and the second being a free choice Get Me To The Final theme. So Kev and Sops, that's three more songs I'm getting from each of you!

However, not every act will get to sing their second song next show. After the first round of performances, the lines will open and once they close again ONE act will leave without singing again, ending up in 6th place. Then, the remaining five will sing their second song in a bid to make the final. After a second voting window, the act with the lowest score will be eliminated in 5th place.

The semifinal will probably take place on Monday and will start around 6PM. Oh, and of course any of our former judges are welcome to guest judge on the show, just shoot me a PM if you want to!

Is everything clear?

Yes, that sounds really good to me.

I "think" I have my One Hit Wnders choices but I'll be getting around to finding songs for the other theme as soon as I can.
