Dermot and the judges return as the last six acts left in the competition have to perform live once again. The judges give their thoughts on what they have heard before the phone lines are opened for tonight's public vote. Rydian receives the best comments from the judges but with nobody performing badly it is difficult to predict who will be going home tonight.
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.
