The Judges' Houses stage of the competition continues. With Louis and the groups in Ibiza, Sharon and the overs in LA, Nicole and the boys in Nice, and Simon and the girls in Malibu, which 12 acts will be chosen to make it through to the live shows next week?.
Each X Factor judge is in charge of a different section of singers on the show. The judges do not know what section of the competition they will be in charge of until the audition process has finished. Each judge then has to pick four acts to take forward to the live section of the show. Each week the two acts with the lowest amount of public votes have to sing again in a final showdown after which the judges decide who should be eliminated. Once there are only five acts left remaining it becomes left to the public to decide who should go.
