Welcome to the X-Factor! I'm your host, Dermot O'Leary!
Themes
Every week, there will be two possible themes for the judges to choose from, the themes could be similar or complete oppsites, the judges will vote and decide which theme will best suit their acts for the week.
Performances
Based on the theme that the judges pick, the contestants will then pick a song of their choice with the help of their mentor. They will post the following things in the performance thread:
- Youtube video of the song
- Lyrics to the song
- Reasoning for the choice of song
The judges will then critique the song choice.
Voting
When it comes to the live voting, it will be split into 3 parts:
- Peer Evaluation: So the contestants will vote for who they thought performed the best
- Judges Evaluation: The Judges will privately rank the contestants in their confessionals, and they will be tallied.
- Public Vote: Each week a thread will be open to the public to vote for who they want to see remain in the competition.
Results
The votes will be tallied in the following manner:
Based on the Peer Evaluations, the points would be distributed as such:
10 points for 1st place
9 points for 2nd place
8 points for 3rd place
and so on...
0 points for 11th and 12th place
In the event of a tie, both contestants will get the same point value.
Based on the Judges Evaluation, the points will be distributed the same way as the Peer Evaluations but multiplied by 2.
Based on the Public Vote, the numbers of votes received will be converted into points, and it would be added to their total
All the points will be added together.
The 2 contestants that receive the lowest numbers of points will be in the bottom 2.
Elimination
Once we have our bottom 2, the contestants will post the song they prepared, in the event that they would end up in the bottom 2, and the judges will them vote in PUBLIC for the act they wish to save.
In the event of a tie, the vote will be DEADLOCK, and the act with the lowest point score will be eliminated from the competition.
