Tonight we finally reached the first live show of The X Factor 2015 - so it was a pretty important episode tonight to say the least!
We saw some spectacular performances, as well as that Adele rendition - yes, we're trying to block it out too. Plus there was Rita's hair, which drew a fair few comparisons.
Digital Spy was watching along, and rounded up the best Twitter reactions of the evening.
A lot of people were missing Dermot:
Don't get me wrong I love olly and caroline but I miss dermot. He was so smooth when it came to presenting. #XFactor

It was an unexpected X Factor this evening for the first Judges' Houses. The results were announced live, with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Simon Cowell naming the three acts they'd be taking to the Live shows from the Groups and the Overs.
Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora have yet to make their decisions, but tonight had plenty of talking points, particularly from Simon's camp. Digital Spy was watching along and had a look at what the general public were thinking. Here is a round-up of the best tweets:
Bupsi got nasty for the 10 millionth time:
If Louis Walsh was still a judge, he'd by telling Bupsi that she reminds him of a young Sinitta. #XFactor

bupsi sounds like a dodgy bank insurance company #XFactor

Maybe it's the pressure. Or the hot stage lights. Or the tantalising proximity of Simon's high-waisted trousers. But it wouldn't be a series of The X Factor without rumours of romances. Already this year we've had the usual nudges and winks wiggling their way out from Boot Camp.
But it's only in the pressure cooker of live shows that things really start heating up - and acts inevitably turn to each other for comfort. So prepare yourself with seven of our favourite ever X Factor romances...
1. Wagner and Mary Byrne (2010)
Is it any surprise that 54-year-old, Brazilian-born Wagner turned out to be something of a ladies' man? No woman can resist a guy with bongos, and his throwback picture of himself holding a lion's tail paved the way for men posing with big cats on dating apps.
In this case, the woman he allegedly wooed was Ballyfermot's Tesco Mary, with...

The X Factor auditions are finally over and tonight we're through to Boot Camp, the source of some of X Factor's all-time best moments (Zayn Malik throwing a strop and refusing to dance, anyone?) It certainly looks as though we're in for our fair share of drama tonight.
Grab a cup of tea (or a bottle of wine, a beer and a few double voddies if you feel like emulating some of the more dramatic contestants), read up on some backstage gossip and secrets from filming and join us live from 7pm as we bring you all the action as it happens.
20:59And so that's the episode over! There were ups, there were downs, there were tantrums, there were a Lot of missed lyrics. Judging from next week's preview it looks like we are set for even more drama - join us from Sunday, September 27 at 7pm and we'll be liveblogging it all!

The X Factor began this series trumpeting how different it was, how many changes had been made, how we were going to see something new. With such big build-up, it's no wonder that some viewers complained that actually it felt kind of the same.
Fairly or unfairly, much of this landed at the feet of the show's two new judges. Nick Grimshaw - so funny when we went to see the auditions being filmed - hasn't really translated in the episodes yet, but perhaps will really get to show off what he can do in the live shows when his quick wit will be given a chance to shine.

But anyone doubting his fellow newbie Rita Ora must surely have felt differently after Sunday night's episode, which might as well have been renamed The Rita Show.

Saturday's episode of The X Factor was full of high-emotions, doppelgangers and a dose of nastiness too.
Though it was rather Techno Susan-less, there were still other highlights to enjoy. Here is a round-up of the evening's best reactions from the Twittersphere:
It was the first night of the Biggest battle of the TV calendar:
Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor have both started.. This means only one thing pic.twitter.com/ETv5JLonNU

Surely I can't be the only person in the country who isn't watching either Strictly or X Factor..?

Awkward one of the X Factor presenters is on #Strictly when it's up head-to-head tonight. #Scd

Katie Price has a good grope of Louise Hazel in tonight's episode of Reality Bites.
It's all part of the game, though - Katie and Denise van Outen are both blindfolded and unleashed on the star of The Jump in an attempt to figure out who she is.
Unfortunately for Denise, she ends up spending more time groping a fir tree than figuring out who Louise is. Watch a clip from the show below:
Katie isn't just feeling up Louise in this episode, though - she also gets her own back on her Celebrity Big Brother rival Katie Hopkins. Check out our sneak peek below:
Elsewhere in this episode, Katie and team captain Emma Willis take to the famous Voice chairs to guess on sight alone whether a contestant from another country's version of the show will be any good.
Another round sees a guest appearance from The X Factor's Stevi Ritchie,...
