Two categories will perform on Saturday night, with the remaining two performing on Sunday night. One act will be eliminated on Saturday and one on Sunday most weeks (no sing off at all) and there may be weeks where 2 acts are eliminated each night (which will be one act from each category)
This format stays until the semi final (week 5)

ew

[Greg!]

Ewww at them axing the sing off

[Black Dagger]

Trash at no sing off.

[Ross.]

The show just died in front of our eyes

[supertv247]

Just seen that it also says there will be a weekly prize vote where the viewers will basically vote for a winner each week...

[Drew.]

RIP

[Lostie!]

lmao I made the right choice to not bother this year then

[Greg!]

This is trash, don't get why only half the acts perform each night

[andybigbro]

Is this **** for real?

[Wizard.]

She’s officially dead!

[Ross.]

Not here for one from each category going either

[RileyH]

Just axe it

[Marsh.]

The sing-off was pointless anyway.
98% of the time they just axed whoever was against their own category and blatantly had no regard for whoever gave the better performance.

I'd also say, axing one from each category makes it more interesting than Louis inevitably ending up with zero groups left by week 3 and us getting the heart throbs.

Getting down to the final 4 being one from each category sounds better to me.

Each round up to the lives is about whittling each category down to the best 3 or 4, so continuing that in the lives until you're left with the "winner" of each category to then face one another and win "X Factor" just sounds better to me.

Also, the show is stale as sh*t so is in dire need of major format changes if it wants to continue.

[lewis111]

So only 2 are eliminated each week? Or is it 1 from each Catagory?
Would be bad if them to put girls and groups together as they are the strongest so doubt they would do that

Go watch The Voice Series 1-3 if you like it so much then!

It's a terrible format

The Voice is completely different though.

And I don't watch either anymore.

Mostly it will be 2 each week, which is twice as many as usual. Never mind the fact when they do have a double elimination (because there’s only 6 weeks) it’ll be 4 eliminated in one week....... it’s terrible

[Marsh.]

But even if they did it the regular way, it's still terrible because the show is dead and stale.

Last year's live shows kept me interested - the normal format and the growth of he likes of Saara and the downfall of the likes of Emily make 10 weeks live shows from being boring
