Definitely no arena auditions. NO 6 CHAIR CHALLENGE! And certainly no live bootcamp stage where the acts are made to beg for their place. :O”
I'd keep the six chair challenge. It must be horrific for the contestants but it did make good TV! It's also where recent series have picked up in the ratings and gained some momentum. I would make a few changes though, I'd go back to 8 contestants going through to judges houses (so it becomes the 8 chair challenge, which also takes the edge off) and for it to be done without an audience. Produced correctly, it could become more intense for the viewers but without the stress for those involved.
Last years bootcamp was probably the one thing they actually got right. Would love to see the country house format back.
Really looking forward to the room auditions also. Lets be honest, we all watch the auditions for the funny moments and there are always plenty of them in the room auditions. I can never really remember anything from the arena auditions, but moments from the room auditions always stick out. Even those things aside, I can still remember a lot more from 2013 and 2014 than I can of last year.
