It wouldn't surprise me if another set of wildcards were thrown in like Olivia Garcia, 4 of Diamonds, Christian Burrows, and Ivy Grace. Then everyone will be saying how great the show is again. They'll all get voted through to prove how wrong the judges were, which is what they wanted all along. It's all about keeping the show talked about.

Is there really only going to be 1 act leaving each week? That won't make things very interesting. It may not be four wildcards but I would expect a couple which would lead to a couple of double eviction weekends.

I would love it if 4 diamonds were brought back.

.....

I think there is more chance of them wildcarding in James Hughes to team up with the KFC muppets

The show is too fake with judges who are too old or very little talent them selfs ,Simon controls the show 100,%,most viewers have realised they have been manipulated by him to make money ,why do you think he's USA shows stoped ,the yanks realised what he did

I'd have rather have Peyton fill the gap

Same here, talented man and very fine looking too.

That was a shame as the US x factor had great talents.

You bring back the awful Osbourne, and look what happens.

Sown. Reap.

I never understood why people wanted Sharon back. She had always been an awful judge

I'm not a Sharon fan but got the strong vibe she didn't pick at least two of her three!!! She didn't even seem to like them that much!!

Why would you think that?

Every year there is a shake up on the panel & Simon making statements like that yet it's the same dross every year.

I've watched them all, too. But I'm done now - I will not waste one more minute of my life on this idiocy.

Kind of true what you said but I believed him this year as he really seemed desperate to make things right.

As long as people know what they are getting when they tune into the X factor, I don't think the show will self destruct. There is an audience for this show, no doubt about it. A lot has clearly changed but people will still watch it.

He isn't, he just says it every year to get people to tune in. Even with ratings dropping every year, he still rakes it in from people who actually still waste their money and vote.

They include the joke acts to make the 'chosen acts' look better.

loads of them land on CBB after

It's been on a path to self-destruct since 2009, the only reason it's still here is because of either Simon's ego or he has something that the ITV bosses don't want to be shared in the media.
