Will it be one cattegory 6 chair challenge for 2 of the days and two categories on one day (Probably sat because it's on for 1Hr 20) Or do you think it will pan out another way?

I was thinking traditional bootcamp style on friday and then two chair challenges sat/sun

The 'Traditional' bootcamp is long gone right now. The Six Chair Challenege IS bootcamp.

Im guessing It will be 1 category on Friday, 2 on Saturday and 1 on Friday.

When hell do the live shows actually start? It will be christmas by the time it starts.

I guess the 2nd weekend in Oct, as i assume it will be judges houses next weekend.

Are we sure that traditional bootcamp is completely gone? When bootcamp was being filmed this year a lot of the acts such as Jake Quickendean were tweeting about how they were scared and nervous about what they were being asked to do.

Didn't last year they kind of had a knock out day where they sang in groups etc to whittle them down before the 6CC

I don't think many people will watch the show on Friday. I know I won't be, I'll be out. It will be a Friday night so I'ms ure a lot of people will be out. I think Friday's show will just be some form of bootcamp challenge, so that viewers on Saturday and Sunday will still be able to follow it.

It's up against SCD which I expect to do better and also the new series of Gogglebox. I'm not saying Gogglebox will trouble either, but may eat into both XF/ SCD ratings as it's a new series and the most watched show on 4 which instead of being in a decline is actually improving ratings wise with each series.

Be interesting to see what the ratings are for all 3 come saturday morning. I think it's a bit of a silly move on ITV's part

Yes we are 100% sure about the traditional bootcamp being scraped. Simon said even before this series started he wanted to scrap it for the six chair challenge, and it was confirmed he had!

The whole Jake tweet kinda points towards the 6 chair challenge. WOuldnt you be scared and nervous about that?!?!?! Id be crapping my pants!


Kinda hard for that to happen concidering they have really dwindled the numbers for bootcamp this year!

Why do you guys keep assuming there won't be any challenge before 6 chairs ?

I got info from a contestant who made it to bootcamp said there will be 2 challenges before 6 chairs.

Not sure if they will show all of it because Mel B was absent during challenge 1 and it seems Sinita replaced her or something because there were a picture of Sinita at bootcamp too.

Sorry, but confirmed by who? I've never seen anything saying that the traditional bootcamp challenge has been scarpped and I've never seen anything from Simon saying it either.

Most people will watch Strictly Live then goggle box straight after, then tape x factor and catch up by fast forwarding through it

I reckon Boys Friday, Groups & Overs Saturday, Girls Sunday.

Or they'll get halfway through the Girls on Saturday with a cliff-hanger preview of the fallout to be shown on Sunday's show.

There is a challenge before the 6 chairs but they get through it very quickly. According to the spoilers all we are getting from that challenge is a very quick montage (3 minutes apparently!). Then the judges get their categories and by the first advert break its time for the 6 Chair Challenge.
