SHOCKINGLY it turns out there's going to be a twist in X Factor this year. Do you remember last years, where Matt Cardle won, but everyone became more successful? What a clever ploy that was. No one saw it coming.

Anyway, this year's kick in the bollocks (or punch in the tit) for the contestants comes in the form of a brutal elimination. A brutal and some might say slightly pointless elimination in which one act from each of the judges will be sent home this weekend. Except, get this, IT'S THE JUDGES THEMSELVES WHO WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE. EACH JUDGE HAS TO CHOOSE ONE OF THEIR OWN ACTS. TWIST, TWIST, TWIST!

Some people might say that it's a bit silly to put them through at all if you're just going to get rid of them straight away. Some people might say it was exploiting people for entertainment value, the one thing the X Factor has continually been accused of over the years.

Not us though. We think it's wonderful.

TWIIIIIIIIIIIST.
