The X Factor Six Chair Challenge carried on apace tonight, with Cheryl starting to whittle down her groups. We only got to see seven of them, but if you want to relive all the action, here are all the videos you need - ranked from worst to best:
7. Decibellas
The only Group tonight not to get a seat. Sorry, girls.
6. Mon Amie
All we can think about is series seven's Belle Amie.
5. Menn On Point
Weirdly brilliant, but also kind of terrible. We're confused.
4. Rumour Has It
Mainly for the bit in 'Hold Back The River' where they shouted: "Stop" and did a dramatic pause.
3. The First Kings
The First Kings grabbed The Sixth Seat - and well deserved it was too.
2. Alien
Any performance that ends with the splits is a winner in our eyes.
1. 4th Power
Go 4th and prosper.
The X Factor continues on Sunday (October 18) at 7pm on ITV.

To crudely paraphrase the great Liverpool football manager Bill Shankly, "Some people believe X Factor is a matter of life and death.
"I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."
The X Factor: Which three groups made the Live Shows?
It's Judges' Houses weekend on The X Factor, which means that we've got a whole three shows of torturous final auditions before the acts can say they've truly made it and reached the Live Shows. Only then can they lay claim to the fact that they're in the same company as Rikki Loney, Austin Drage and Bad Lashes.
Apart from approximately three minutes of actual singing, the majority of tonight's episode was filled with fretting from the acts, fretting from Louis Walsh, followed by tears from the acts and tears from Louis Walsh.
We can probably all agree...

Happy 10th anniversary to The X Factor!
We've already compiled a few of our favourite X Factor moments over the past decade, so now we're going to celebrate with a quiz to see if you can name the following 10 ex-finalists.
Do you recognise any of these former hopeful faces? Have a go below:

Can you remember this slightly cheesy (and extremely hair conscious) performer mentored by Simon Cowell back on The X Factor back in 2008?
Following his X Factor departure, he's performed at Butlin's Holiday Park in Skegness, turned on the Stevenage town Christmas lights and appeared in Attitude magazine's naked edition.
2. Series 8 - guess the X Factor finalist

We all know the X Factor is a well-oiled money machine, so it comes as no surprise that the show will release a celebratory Greatest Hits collection to get us buying all of those songs we probably already own.
And it got us thinking: wouldn't it be better value for money to have some songs on the collection that we probably don't already own?
The X Factor has produced some forgotten gems and stellar novelty tracks over the years, so we've listed 10 of the best that didn't make the final tracklist below.
Chico: 'It's Chico Time'
Long before Lucy Spraggan and Ella Henderson wowed audiences with their songwriting efforts, we had Chico and his wristwatch. The track shot straight to number one to become one of the UK's finest novelty blow-outs, so we're a bit miffed it didn't make the compilation. Bonus track, maybe?

Belle Amie have admitted that they can’t wait for The X Factor to return next month, because they are desperate to see what the new judges will be like.
The girl band – who shot to fame on last year’s series of the ITV show, after being put together by Simon Cowell at bootcamp – have confessed that they are especially interested in how Tulisa Contostavlos will come across, as she is so feisty off screen.
The girls told Ok magazine:
Tulisa will be great to watch. Hopefully she’ll give some people some mouth! But people will watch it just for them [the judges] She’s so opinionated. She’ll take over Simon’s role in a female way. It’s not going to be the same without Simon and Chezza though.

Belle Amie have claimed that they were glad to leave the X Factor when they did, because they didn’t feel like the public were being allowed to see what they were really capable of.
The girl group were eliminated from the ITV show after four weeks but speaking to The News Of The World, as they promote their new single ‘Girls Up’, the ladies explained that the departure was a good thing for their career.
Sophia Wardman, 23, said:
“The show was a great experience but it didn’t really showcase us. We weren’t singing the songs we wanted to sing, weren’t wearing what we wanted to wear. We were restricted so it was kind of a relief for me to get off the show so we could start doing what we wanted to do.

Famous before winning, Katie Waissel dodges another elimination this week on "The X Factor" when the voting result revealed that the public still wants to see her another week. Waissel's stay means Aiden Grimshaw has to leave the competition after a head-to-head sing-off.
For two weeks in a row, Waissel was placed in the bottom two along with Belle Amie and Treyc Cohen respectively but she controversially survived though she often went off-key and forgot the lyrics of the song. This week's bottom two position is her fourth in the competition.
The judges were equally divided between Waissel and Grimshaw with Cheryl Cole defending Waissel as her own apprentice and Simon Cowell not giving any reason for his choice. Louis Walsh backed up Dannii Minogue's apprentice, saying Grimshaw has more potential than Waissel.
When host Dermot O'Leary revealed that Grimshaw is the one leaving, Waissel clutched her head in awe.

The 21 year old singer from Tallaght, Ireland, was voted off the ITV show on Sunday as part of Simon Cowell’s girlband Belle Amie. Speaking to The Herald, Rebecca said she finds it ‘scary’ that Wagner has survived for so long.

“Don’t get me wrong, Wagner’s a lovely man but it’s just scary to think that he’s still in the show when so many other people have gone who can actually sing.

Belle Amie have admitted that they weren’t expecting to leave The X Factor last night.
The manufactured girl group faced the sing off against Katie Waissel on the Sunday results show. Katie chose to sing Trust In Me by Etta James for her save me song, while the girls chose Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. The performances split the panel, with Simon and Louis voting to save the group, while Dannii and Cheryl wanted to send them home. As the show went to deadlock, Dermot O’Leary revealed that Belle Amie had polled the lowest number of public votes and so were eliminated from the competition.
On This Morning, Phillip Schofield asked if they had expected the outcome, given that girls groups rarely do well on the ITV talent show. Sophia Wardman replied:
We were always prepared because every week you need to be prepared to be in the bottom and then eventually leave.

However after the girls sang, Louis Walsh hit out at Cowell, insisting that the girls “are potentially a really great girl band” but adding that their mentor has been neglecting them. He said:
Well I think you are potentially a really great girl band but you’ve got a problem, you’re on your own in this competition.
