The X Factor Talent TV Show

It's that time again! That time when all wannabe popstars queue for hours to audition for the X Factor 2012.

What a series the X Factor has been so far. Auditions came and went with huge speculation about who the final line up of XFactor judges will be. The 4th judge for UK X Factor was eventually confirmed as Pussy Cat Doll and ex- X Factor USA judge, Nicole Scherzinger. She has been paid a reported £750,000 for the honour, and let's face it, for that much, I would do it!

Rumours have gone round that it would be guest Judge Geri Halliwell, or that Cheryl Cole would return to a judge for the X Factor once again...and ah-ha...as we have seen from Judges houses...Cheryl Cole HAS made a return, but only as a guest mentor Judge to help her pal, Gary awww.

So, now we're at Judges Houses after a very exciting and dramatic Boot Camp, which started off with a third getting culled, before they had even sung a note!

Drama at Judges houses followed, when one of the groups who had been sent through, couldn't go due to visa problems...so we ROUGH COPY out of the picture, the door was opened for UNION J (formerly Triple J) and TIMES RED to go through instead - meaning that THE GROUPS now have 7 in their category...DRAAAAMA!

Louis Walsh has been doing The X Factor for 9 series and has never won...is it time he retired from the Show?

The X Factor has started in the UK, and we are in full swing of the auditions. A few have stood out - some for the wrong reasons - but the XFactor auditions have been very entertaining. So what comes after the X Factor auditions? We have Boot Camp, then Judges Houses, then finally the live shows! 2012 is going to be a massive year for X Factor, I can feel it!

I was so excited to see Carolyn Poole is back! She was the final audition shown - and what a way to end the auditions! You may or may not know, but she got to judges houses last year, but didn't get through...but now she's back and better than ever! Go Carolynne!

It was a shocker last year, when Tulisa was given the groups - Louis ALWAYS get the groups - it worked though, because she won! Tulisa took girl group Little Mix to victory!

But for 2012, Tulisa's category is THE GIRLS - and she seemed utterly delighted with her category too!

Joining her as a guest judge, is the ever-so talented rapper, rnb all rounder, Tinie Temper! Tulisa's category at Judges Houses is made up of:

AMY MOTTRAM

LEANNE ROBINSON

JADE COLLINS

LUCY SPRAGGAN

ELLA HENDERSON

JADE ELLIS

Meet the FINAL 6 GIRLS here

As predicted, and undoubtably, there were tears...she cried A LOT last year, in the US version of the show. My money was on her getting the under's girl category, but close, she got THE BOYS.

Nicole will be choosing from the following at Judges Houses this week, with guest mentor, Ne-yo:

JAKE QUICKENDEN

JAHMENE DOUGLAS

RYLAN CLARK

JAMES ARTHUR
