Absolutely Disgusting
I can't believe how much smoke all the judges are blowing up each other's backsides on this. "Good job Louis, that was so hard." Sorry... are we ignoring the fact you've just shunted someone off? It's hard for who, exactly? You're still getting paid.
It's absolutely disgusting. Nicole with, "If you were in my category, I'd totally swap you." Oh right, that's lovely. Six people sitting there knowing that it might be the end. People who claim the music industry is harder than this seem to be off the chart stupid. The music industry either says yes or no, they don't do both. Jesus. |

I absolutely hate this new bootcamp format, its cruel!
I feel so sorry for the ones who are put through only to be thrown out again. Its not right, its disappointing enough not to go through, but this is too far

Not entirely the case - some people get signed, only to get dropped before they've actually got anywhere.
Still, I suppose it's the only way these people know how. If the were good enough for the music industry, they'd follow the conventional means. |

I'm aware of this, I mean like at the same time. They don't get signed and then someone else walks in and they rip up the contract. They haven't been signed, they've not even won yet and they're getting bandied about. It's so horrible.

The contestants know the format, they know when they take a seat, it doesn't mean they are through to the next round until they have all sung.

Do they know this when they audition? Do they know all this before they even sign up? No. And by that point, they're already there, with two auditions down. They're not going to walk at this point, but after watching tonight, I wouldn't audition next series if I knew that was a possibility.

Bottom line is, 6 acts to judges house. They've changed how they do it, but the result would probably be the same.
But to basically be told, "you're out" with an audience of 4000 people chanting "swap swap swap" at you. To walk off, with no explanation, to be thrown under the bus despite only minutes earlier feeling the exhilaration of getting through, it's cruel and seems needlessly vile. X Factor has always done this, but the process has been a lot softer than it was before now. And then to have that humiliation broadcast to millions and to hear the judges make comments and say things like, "Oh, that was so hard for you Louis." It's just deplorable and I don't see any excuse is acceptable for it, whether it be entertainment or the balance of how cruel the music industry is. No-one should go through that, especially when I can guarantee it's not made aware to them when sign up to audition. |

Maybe so, but is the level of humiliation and hurt for the contestants worth whatever it is the producers seem to imagine that the public want? I think it's beyond sick.

I think it's beyond sick. ![]() Have to say that I m really pleased that she didn't go for it. She's a really good singer (and I'm not just saying that cos she's my mum) she's up there with the best of them. If that happened to my daughter I would be gutted for her. I feel so sorry for them all. I notice that when thy were singing once the seats were full they would also 'sing at' the people in the seats. They did that last night too. I wonder if they were told to do it to add to the drama. |

I actually question whether they knew the format atall. Some of the singers who had already got a seat were cheering and shouting for their fellow acts to get a seat, then were leaping all over them and celebrating when they did.
Suddenly the penny dropped when all the seats were taken and they realised the ones left backstage were still being allowed to audition. The looks on their faces when they realised that one of them were going to be dumped out was one of total bewilderment. I wouldn't be surprised if they had no idea of what was about to happen. |

It's bloody awful, and not only for the one being kicked out after having his/her hopes raised. I only watched one group of them, and couldn't watch any further. The squirming of the one waiting on the stage was just as bad as the one being kicked out. "Should I just say no, or take my own chance?" Awful format, and I won't watch it again. Cruel, and I think it's going far too far for "entertainment" purposes. What next? Can they sing whilst being prodded with sharp sticks, for goodness sake??

Well, the new format has riled people and got them talking about the show, which is what the producers want!

I don't even see the point of being this cruel. How many times do these contestants need to hear a yes before they get put through ?
The judges have made this all about them worse than ever this year. The X Factor is more about being cruel and turning people into a nervous wreck then actually finding talent. |

We can thank the "Hunger Games" for this new format.
