XF hasn't got off to a great start...

[Jack_]

...from the looks of things, has it? So much discontinuity:

- Guest Judge's
- Danii away till Judge's Houses due to her baby
- Cheryl not attending Bootcamp due to her malaria

It's all over the place...

[Patrick]

Its *****ed.

Change the name!

[Jase.]

Regardless of Cheryl's health issues, and Dannii's kid, I'm SO ****ING EXCITED about this years XF.

Boot Camp isn't being done in front of a live audience this year either because of all the judges crap

[Patrick]

I say Axe it this year and bring it back next year when they have sorted themselves out.

No need for dramatics really, they'll just get one or two guest judges I'm guessing for Boot Camp. Everything will be back to normal for the Judges houses.

Good (well, not good considering they'd have had an audience at the auditions) but, IMO, it never worked for X Factor anyway.

Auditions in front of the judges only > auditions in front of a live audience

Why, there's nothing majorly wrong with it, plus it would cost ITV big axing it now.

As long as they manage to keep simon and louis all the way through and have some really good female judges it could actually be quite good. Because it would add something different to the whole thing and could be fun to watch. And when it gets to the important part danni and cheryl return! Its a bad start them not been there yeah but its easy to fix

[Jords]

I still cant wait, does sound a bit touch and go though!

[Miss Ivy Balls]

The whole thing has turned slightly crap since last year. The audience in the audition process. It just doesn't have the feel to it. Before it was just one two four with the judges and the auditions. No homely feel about it or anything anymore.
