Four of the acts picked at Judges' Houses will leave The X Factor on Sunday night when their mentors must choose three acts from their category they feel have what it takes to go further in the competition. No public vote this week either.

[Callum]

Great twist, I prefer having 12 finalists anyway. Controversial though.

[Jordan.]

Goodbye Sami, Sophie, Marcus and 2 shoes.

[Jords]

Im not sure I like it though... its messing with people.

[Smithy]

it seems kinda pointless actually, whats the difference between this and any other stage, apart from the fact we get to see them perform a "full" song

[Locke.]

Might aswell have just put 3 people through at judges house instead of wasting time

[AndyEssex1]

So this year it's 16 down to 12, rather than 12 up to 16.

People talk about Austin and TreyC etc but the singers who go out early are pretty much forgotten about. It's only really the top 3 that count.
Seems like winning the show is a curse, whereas 5th or 6th is lucky. Ask Jedward or Diana Vickers!

[Maia]

What's the point of a live show if we don't even get to vote? And what's the point of putting the acts they'll be sending home anyway through to the live shows when they could've just gotten rid of them at the Judges Houses

[Benjamin]

Even though I no longer watch X Factor, what a pointless twist.

[Locke.]

Boys: Craig or James (Frankie is the favourite, and I think Marcus has a real shot at winning.)
Girls: Sophie (Definitely won't be Janet or Amelia, and I really can't see them sending home Misha).
Overs: Jonjo (Won't be Kitty she is needed for the headlines, won't be Jonny because he's the most likeable, and won't be Sami because she's the best singer)
Groups: 2 Shoes (Won't be either of the boybands and Rhythmix have more potential than 2 Shoes.. Plus the blonde girl from 2 Shoes is pregnant)

[Tom4784]

What a pointless twist.

[_Seth]

How utterly pointless...

[Vicky.]

Would be quite funny if the 'supergroup' left already

Exactly and also then we wouldn't have to sit through 2 and a half hours of the first show too. Totally ridiculous.

[Mystic Mock]

Thats disgraceful as they could take out somebody that has a chance of beating there chosen one this year.

[Kerry]

Absolutely ridiculous. What on earth was the point putting 4 through??

[LivT]

I'm disappointed , if not a bit disgusted at the way the competitors are being treated this year. They did the self same thing when they all arrived at boot camp; only to be told. on arrival, that a good many of them were to be eliminated and sent home again, without a chance to perform. This was senseless , down right cruel, and not to mention a waste of expenses getting them there for no reason

[Lewis.]

Oh, I think it's a good twist. Will be interesting to see whether Kelly will send Sophie home after she raved on about how much she loves her during the first rounds. I hope 2 shoes don't go as they are the only group put through that haven't been made up this year, think it should be a boyband really seeing as there are two of them. Can see Jonny going in the overs depending on how well Sami sings. The boys, not sure, could be Marcus or James as I doubt Gary will get rid of the other two.

[Visage]

That's a crap twist and so very pointless.

There's nothing entertaining about this at all!

[Maia]

Just a live show for the sake of a live show. This show is far too ridiculous now.

['Conor]

What a terrible twist
