We knew that filming order was BOYS - OVERS 25 - GIRLS - GROUP during 6 chairs challenges but does anyone know if they typically air the 6 chairs the same as filming order ? Anyone who went to 6 chairs last year could tell ?

Because I'm more excited to see GROUPS and if it goes as order, I'll have to wait for 2 more days

I would think that looks about right, to be honest. Obviously nobody can tell for real, but it will create maximum effect. They will cull a lot of the boys we have already seen, cue outrage that all of these lovely teenage boys haven't made it through, then at the last minute on the last night we get a shiny new boyband who blow everybody away and get pimped at the end of the last show so they're fresh in everybody's mind.

I know they showed it in order from XFUS, but that was probably more to do with the fact that once all the acts in a category had been chosen they would sit there to watch the rest of the acts from other categories.

They did that last year on the UK one didnt they? It would be difficult to show it out of sequence - the overs are the only category not linked to another. The boys and girls would have to come before the groups because, from rumours, there are rejects from the boys and girls in the groups category. Plus, why complicate things?! Before they filmed bootcamp they would have had an idea of how they wanted it to play out on the telly so there would be no need to change things up in terms of the running order.

Yaaaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnn

I have a feeling they will do it in that order or switch the Girls and the Groups. End with the two that caused most of the drama!

Emily tweeted that the girls chair challenge were on Friday,but not sure if that is right.

If she tweeted it then it must be RIGHT since contestant got informed by the producers on when they will be featured.

They didn't have other categories sat in their chairs on stage, there wasn't enough room. The chair challenge set they had on XFUS was massive, and ours looks similar but it's nowhere near big enough - that's why they appear to have a bit connected to the X for acts to sit.

They also put groups together before the chair challenge through bootcamp. They don't do the girls and boys, then decide on who to put in groups.

From what I've read Cheryl's choices caused the most controversy in the crowd, and they can't put her on last because some of her rejects join the groups category. So i'm expecting her on first with a big bang and drama in episode one to get people excited.

The girls are on first

Cheryl in floods of tears, Cowell offers out the whole of Wembley - this morning's agreed script between media and producers.

I suspect they want to lead off this weekend with the most controversial set of picks - all the papers have got the story about Cheryl, the booing audience and the riot about the final result. The reason - they're up against Strictly in a head to head on a Friday night. Gotta bring in those viewers somehow! It is their best strategy, TBH. None of the other categories are scintillating enough to stand up to the first live Strictly show.

And I very much doubt if this will be enough. Viewers are savvy enough to know with Sky+ it takes literally minutes to watch a 1 hr episode of the X Factor when you cut out the ads, the scripted audience reactions, the scripted contestant reactions and the crap. Mrs Satnavvy and I will watch SCD tonight and then watch the "highlights" of XF and still be in bed by 1015

Also there is also the Gogglebox factor to take into account tonight

I think the order will be
Girls
Boys
Groups
Overs

The order is Girls-Boys-Overs-Groups

How do you know ?
