Anyone notice that when all the "get throughs" where in London to see if they got through to semi finals that they where all wearing the same outfits as when they where at the auditions.

Yea! It's rather odd, they must get told to

Yes and their hairstyles were the same too! Given that it's been around two weeks since some of them first auditioned it is odd.

Yes I thought that. Most of them (if not all of them) looked exactly the same. I was starting to wonder whether it was all done on the same day - but that can't be right can it?

I was thinking that too but you could clearly see some of the auditionees on the same stage when they auditioned in different cities. And they'd have to see everyone before making a decision about the final 40 surely.

I remember reading last year how they were all told to come back with the same outfits etc. Then they had to just wait around all day with nothing to do, they weren't meant to leave the building,and a lot of them weren't at all happy about they way it was done.
I presume its similar this time.
