REGGIE N BOLLIE

A second group through for Pingu, well done!

Let's see who we have left:

Pingu with Bratavio
McCoy with Josh
Maris with Chloe and Lola

The FINAL act definitely returning next week, courtesy of the DS public, is:

Two of them will sing for the judges in the sing-off, while one will leave the competition in 12th place. That act is:

We're not done yet, judges. We may have already lost one act tonight, but that means your work is only half-done. One of these acts standing before you, Josh Daniels or Chloe Paige, won't be here next week.

Josh will sing first, Chloe second. Once both acts have performed, the voting order will be:

McCoy > Maris > Pingu > Jacka

Good luck, everyone.

After a thorough search of my inbox, turns out I don't have any sing-off songs for Josh Daniel. Therefore, he'll reprise his earlier performance.

Maris, could you please introduce your act and her sing-off song?

All right. Both acts have sung, which means it's time for the judges' verdict.

McCoy isn't here, but as the mentor for the boys category he would without a doubt save Josh.

Maris, you're up second. Which act are you sending home and why?

One vote to send home Josh, one vote to send home Chloe. It could still go either way.

Pingu, time to spice things up a bit. Who are you sending home tonight and why?

2-1 to send home Chloe.

Jacka, the deciding vote rests with you. If you send Chloe home, she's gone. If you send Josh home, we'll go to deadlock.

And with that, Chloe Paige is out of the competition and Maris is left with just one act in Olivia. Commiserations, week one double whammies are a major setback but you only need one act to win.

I think that was all for tonight. As announced on the launch thread, next week's theme is Floor Fillers. The show itself will be a single elimination and to top it all off, I will reveal the acts' finishing positions at the end of Wednesday's show. We'll kick off at 6:15 PM right here on this thread, see you there!

One of the judges, hashtag_mccoydl, has sadly stepped down from his judging role.

Despite this, the show will go ahead as planned. We will start at 6:15 PM tomorrow regardless of whether a new mentor for the boys category is found in time or not.

The song list will be sent to the judges as soon as Maris sends me her song choice for Olivia.

Ready to fill the now vacant spot on the panel, it's someone who knows these games like the back of his hand. He's hosted several of his own shows, though his mentoring credentials are definitely there as well - not everyone can brag about winning the first forum game their participated in, after all. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome:

Goodness, not having a new thread for every other live show feels kind of odd, doesn't it? I suppose it will take some time getting used to. Anyway, enough of that. Welcome to the second live show of The X Factor: Wheel of Fortune!

Last Sunday, we saw the acts perform for the first time. Overall, reactions were positive and constructive, though that didn't stop Chloe, Josh and Lola from landing in the bottom 3. In a cruel twist of fate, Lola Saunders exited the competition in 12th place, while Chloe Paige lost her place in the competition to Josh in the sing-off, leaving Maris with only one act in week 2.

Tonight, the remaining 10 acts will be tackling Floor Fillers. So put on your dancing shows, as you're going to be swinging by the end of the show. One act will be leaving us tonight, and of course there's the position reveal twist to look forward to at the end.

I'm getting ahead of myself, my apologies. Allow me to introduce the top 10 and their mentors, including our new panel member!
