X Factor

The audition rounds are over and 'X Factor' is moving full steam ahead with the boot camp phase, where the men will be separated from the boys, the women from the girls, the musical wheat from the chaff. By the end of the week, only 24 contestants will remain out of 120. Only the strong survive.

Boot camp has begun over on 'X Factor,' and because of the presidential debate, the typical two-hour Wednesday installment was crunched down to a simple hour, but at least they were able to bring some drama!

After a montage of awful 'X Factor' auditions - Simon even compared a group to a time when he sat on two cats -- we knew we were in for a good audition with Lauren Jauregui.

The last night of 'X Factor' auditions presented us with another vomit-inducing love story. Owen Stuart is a 16-year-old boy from Charlotte, N.C. by way of Buffalo, N.Y., and he immediately caught the eye of all the girls around the room. Asked if he already had a girlfriend, he responded with a solemn "yes" before explaining that he has a girlfriend back home and how torn up he was that

Freddie Combs once weighed 920 pounds. He has worked his tail off to lose 400 pounds, and he's not done. He is currently seated in a wheelchair, but he wants to be able to lose more weight and stand while singing on 'X Factor.' That's a big goal, but he has the talent to get far on this show.

You still with us, 'X Factor' fans? We know how you feel. We had to DVR 'Modern Family' too, but at least Daryl Black was a refreshing audition to watch!

Tara Simon from Atlanta did more talking than singing on tonight's (Sept. 26) episode of 'X Factor.'

The familiar face on tonight's 'X Factor' belonged to Sophie Tweed-Simmons -- or make that her father, Gene Simmons of Kiss. Mind you, the pretty 19-year-old made it clear from the very beginning that she wanted to make it on her own, and that's something anyone can respect.

The infinitely stylish David Correy auditioned on tonight's (Sept. 26) episode of 'X Factor,' and he was quite the Travie McCoy lookalike, with his beard and tattoos. Before he sang Bruno Mars' 'Just the Way You Are,' he shared his heartwarming reason for coming on the show, which was easily one of the most inspiring tales we've ever heard on a reality singing competition.
