In both series of Pop Idol, was it true the judges sat through all auditions?
IfI recall correctly, there were 10,000 and 20,000 who applied in PI 1 and 2. |

Well there was about 180 at boot camp.
I predict 500-2000. |

200 made it through to bootcamp- all of them seen the judges. I think about 250-300 probably seen the judges.

Oh and just to add, not all 182,000 will have been seen by the producers. 182,000 is probably the amount that applied for the show, only a fraction of them will have been given a call back and an audition for the producers.

A colleagues daughter met Dermot as he was travelling back from filming the judges houses abroad. He told her that the judges saw 10% of the overall applicants. Some how I doubt it....

i believe they see about 30 acts a day, so if you have three months of auditions about 90 days, that would make approximately 2,700. |

Crowds
Who, then, are the huge crowds of people filmed queueing outside each venue, shouting "I've got the X Factor, etc. etc.? (Maybe CGI
)

I would think there were more bad ones than good ones, otherwise why would the judges feel so restless. I know it's tv and some of it's made for entertainment, but i still think there's an ounce of genuinity when simon gets annoyed |

I don't think that's correct, because otherwise they are potentially missing out on lots of talent, or even entertainment.

I don't think the judges will see that many, I don't think they go through 30 auditions in a day. Auditions take about 10 mins to half an hour each and they don't usually start them until after midday and finish in the evening, including breaks inbetween. |

It is, plenty of people have applied who haven't received a callback or an audition.
Unless when they audition the have to provide a CD of themselves singing. |

)As for the judges, I'd guess that they see about 500, based on the numbers we would usually see on the show and Xtra Factor plus that 180 were at bootcamp. Because then they need the crap ones plus the endless streams of average ones to fill those clips between "featured" auditions and also those that just don't provide the hoped for entertainment in the auditions room. |
