The X Factor Boot Camp - The Round Up

After a night of partying for the auditionees who made it to the next round, it was straight down to serious business. This year's boot camp proved to be the most brutal one yet when thousands of hopefuls were sent home before they even had the chance to prove themselves once more in order to make the Judges' Houses stage.  However, to all the others that made it, it was their chance to really push the boat out and do everything in their power to be triumphant in the competition. The pressure is on like Donkey Kong! Let's have a little recap over last weeks shenanigans in preparation for tonight's Judges Houses stages in the competition....

Just when you thought this woman couldn't get any more annoying...

... this happens!!!

She literally lit up the stage with her rather peculiar outfit, making jaws drop everywhere!! Who does she think she is? Lady Gaga?! Strangely fascinating, though. Wonder what she would do next, go on stage in bondage gear?! Gary's face at the end was a picture though! 

OMFG! LAUGH MY F***** ARSE OFF!

Goldie was just simply hilarious!! All covered up for the first time in the competition it didn't stop her from flashing her bits or terrorising the poor pianist! He looked like he wanted to do a runner, he looked that scared!! She even played cat and mouse with Gary Barlow after she chased him across the room when she finished!!! And even Dermot was quite uneasy! Crazy woman! It was recently confirmed that she had quit the show after making it to the live finals after it was apparent that she did not want to be away from her family! Guess this will be the last we see of her! Talk about putting on a show!!! 

The new kids on the block...

After the underwhelming amount of good groups who auditioned this year, there were also several new groups being formed but I have say the ones who totally smashed it were Nu Vibe and I definitely think that there is a market out there for them. I loved their really cool urban vibe. One Direction better watch it! 

A glimmer of hope...

It was also quite sad about Terry, where the nerves got the better of him, but I'm glad the judges saw potential and put him through anyway. What a relief! I still believe he has a lot more to give!!

Wouldn't be the same without a bit of craziness...

It's the return of David Wilder!!! The wannabe rockstar! After a dramatic monologue, it was straight down to business as he sang Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga rather badly. Very out of tune!!! Sounded rather desperate to be quite honest! The audience then (unsurprisingly) started booing him! Then there was Gary's favourite - Kendro, who came out with their own weird song! Catchy or what? OK, maybe not!!!

And whilst we're here...

...I would like to take the time to express my intense disappointment that Lascel Wood and John Adams missed out and fell at the last hurdle. How could this be?! I feel so sad and I felt that they also had a lot more to give!! I would also like to commiserate all the other hopefuls that failed to make it through tp the next stage.
