ROUND 1: The Auditions
In the first round, each of the contestants must audition for the judges. They either go through to the next round or go home . ROUND 2: Boot Camp
In the second round of the contest the judges are each assigned a category to mentor. Each judge will then get to assemble a team of people to help turn their wannabes into stars! The contestants will then be put through a boot camp and afterwards only 8 will remain in each category.

ROUND 3: Judges' Home Visits
Next, the remaining contestants will get to live the life of luxury with their mentors! But it won't be all fun and games as the mentors must whittle their teams down to just 3 each .

ROUND 4: Live Shows
The 12 remaining contestants/groups will now get the chance to showdown live on ITV1 along with a wildcard pick by each judge. Week by week more contestants will be voted off the show and we will eventually find out who Britain thinks has got The X Factor!… Expand

With each passing season The X-Factor, desperate to keep its ratings, has become less and less about finding talented singers and more and more about creating a spectacle for its audiences.

More time during the audition phase is given to people that are simply put on TV for us all too laugh at and the format changes are only ever intended to create as much false drama as possible.
