How X Factor works -- I think!!
6.27.16 by Q3
I really need some help -- and I bet I am not alone. I have never followed X-Factor closely and I am total confused about how it works. I have some vague idea how it works and this is what I pieced together.
This is the 8th season of X Factor in Australia.

Judges: Adam Lambert, Iggy Azalea and Guy Sebastian.
Jason Dundas is the new host of The X Factor. Jason has spent the past four years based in Los Angeles. He has been Special Correspondent for CBS’ Entertainment Tonight, hosted the MTV series America’s Best Dance Crew and a number of live specials for VH1.: au.tv.yahoo.com/x-factor/31913823/jason-dundas-is-your-new-host-of-the-x-factor/#page1
There are five stages to the competition:
Stage 1: Open auditions (These auditions are in front of producers who decide who will sing in front of the judges and are done.)
The successful auditionees chosen by the producers are invited back to the last set of the audition phase, which takes place in front of the show's judging panel and a live audience. If there are three judges present during the auditions, the act needs at least two "yes" votes (three if there are four judges present) to gain the majority vote. The judges' auditions are held on selected dates and locations in a number of major cities of Australia, and are broadcast over the first few weeks of The X Factor.
Stage 2: END OF JUNE Judges' auditions
At the beginning of the competition, all four judges work together. After a contestant auditions on stage in front of a live audience, THE X FACTOR judges vote on whether an act has what it takes to progress further in the competition. Performers must receive at least three of four 'yes' votes in order to move to the next stage (Three judges + a guest judge = four?)
Stage 3: Bootcamp (Each judge chooses their five acts to go through to the super home visits.)
At Boot Camp, the judges put the contestants through their paces testing them on vocal and performance ability. From here, judges will discover which category they have been given.
Stage 4: Super home visits (Each act performs one song in front of their mentor and celebrity guest judges. Afterwards, each mentor and their guest judges narrow down the acts to three for the live shows.)
Each judge will take their group of contestants away for an intense session of music workshops. Judges call upon some of the world's best performers to help them select their three favourite acts who will progress to the live shows. Guests in previous seasons have included Beyonce, Kylie Minogue, One Direction and Jennifer Lopez. This year will see the contestants travel to London for Super Home Visits. In his first appearance on THE X FACTOR Australia, Simon Cowell, the original creator and founder of the franchise, will pass on his critique to the visiting contestants.
Stage 5: NOVEMBER Live shows (The finalists compete, judges comment, the viewers vote for the winners.)
The Top 12 will make it to the live shows, which take place twice a week. The public votes for their favourite act to stay in the competition. In the results show, the two acts with the lowest public vote sing once again for the judges who vote on who they think deserves to stay in the competition and who should go home.
Number of Categories?
The contestants will be divided up into 3 or 4 categories?
In the past, 3 categories have been 14 to 25 year old soloists, over 25 year old soloists, and groups. For Season 8, Bands are now able to audition, any can play instruments - they will be part of the Groups category.
On the official X Factor website, they list four categories from 2015 when they had four judges. -- "The X Factor is open to both solo performers and groups 14 years and over. Once hopefuls make it past the initial audition process, the four judges mentor the performers as they are split into the following categories: Boys Under 25, Girls Under 25, Over 25s and Groups."
OK what did I miss?
