Shock Factor

[Arneldo]

X FACTOR chiefs are planning a sensational twist to Saturday’s show — and could axe TWO acts.

Judge Simon Cowell yesterday revealed there will be a “shock twist” — and TV Biz has learned it will be one of four scenarios.

The first would see two hopefuls dumped at the end of the show, instead of the usual one.

Plan B allows an already ditched act to return. It could be rejects 4Sure or The Unconventionals, or even someone axed in the boot camp rounds.

Producers are also weighing up a third option — letting guest judge, crooner Tony Bennett, 80, decide who goes. Alternatively, the last ten acts would be completely at the mercy of the public vote. An insider said: “They have no idea what is going to happen.

“But that’s the point — we don't want anyone getting too comfortable.

“We want to give viewers some extra excitement.”

Saturday's X Factor is a big band-themed show, in Bennett’s honour.

A double eviction could spell trouble for Dionne Mitchell and The MacDonald Brothers, who are bookies’ favourites for the boot. Long-haired rocker Ben Mills is still favourite to win this year's competition.

A Double Elimination would be good - Means Mac'D have a better chance of going! But i would love to see a Ex-X Factor Finalists from one of the past Series Return (BRENDA!)

Oooh intresting.
Dont want an ex one from this series to come cos they were both bad!
I would like Cassie to come back, or Nicholas!
Tony Bennett deciding means he'll keep Ray, and probably send someone good home!!

Why would he keep Ray..?

I really don't like twists, because it ruined Big Brother and I'll bet it ruins the X Factor.

Cos its Big Bang week, and thats Rays speciality.
He'll think 'Oh he reminds me of me' yadda yadda

BRING BACK 4SURE!!!!or nicholas from last year!

[Jay]

I don't want no one back from past years shows, they had their chance.

[BigSister]

I doubt anything is going to happen its just a ratings boost

[Dan_]

Proably just trying to hype the show and it will end up being something minor lol.

I did read a rumour saying two would go and then each judge would pick someone from their top 8 who didn't make it and the public would vote one through.

[BigSister]

doubt that will happen dan unless they dont go for christmas number 1 this year as ive worked out on calander that final will be week before 23rd of december

[Chrizzle]

I hope 2 dont go.
Twists should be left to BB and not XF

[BigSister]

I agree Chris

If two went and one was voted back it would be the same...

[Chrizzle]

If its people being voted from the auditions I guess that could be fun.

I'd like to see Carlo or Stacey be in 16-24s
and Tiwa in 25+

[BigSister]

yeha my mums just told me now i dont want ANY twists its not fun

[Chrizzle]

They should just keep it how it is

[Dan_]

The Brothers would be the only one's I would like back really.

[BigSister]

same here dan or Jonathan although i doubt Sharon would bring him back

[Chrizzle]

The Brothers should be there instead McBore Bros!!

Totally agree! what was Louis thinking?

[tropical_sunset]

I hope they dont do this!! Why muck around with the format! Its fine as it is IMO. Or do this at least after a few weeks when we hav a better choice of who to bring back, no contest really at the mo, 4sure wud def be back!

[Dan_]

I think it would only be one's from their top 8 but failed to make it to the finals.

Exactly, i could'nt of put it better. Its just a ratings boost probley.

[BigSister]

well because im sad lol i looked how long its on this week(results show) and its 40 mins then i looked how long it was last week and it said 35 mins so its 5 extra minutes

[Ruth*Star]

I Bet if they end up doing something, it'll be plan A. because five minites does'nt sound long to do something shocking.
