<h3>Bootcamp/Six Chair Challenge</h3> <p>On 17 April 2013, it was reported that this series' bootcamp could be changed and be conducted abroad like judges' houses,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83"><sup>83</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84"><sup>84</sup></a> however, it was later confirmed that bootcamp would take place at <a

class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86"><sup>86</sup></a> It was reported that Cowell was planning to give advice on which acts should progress through this stage, meeting with the judges on his yacht to give opinions on the contestants,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87"><sup>87</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:88" href="#fn:88"><sup>88</sup></a> but further reports claimed that due to a pregnancy scandal, Cowell would instead speak to the judges by telephone, as he did in series 9.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:89" href="#fn:89"><sup>89</sup></a> However, this did not happen. </p><p>In a change to the usual format, the judges were allocated their categories before bootcamp,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:90" href="#fn:90"><sup>90</sup></a> via a phonecall from executive producer Richard Holloway.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:91" href="#fn:91"><sup>91</sup></a> Walsh has the Boys, Scherzinger had the Girls, Osbourne has the Over 25s and Barlow has the Groups.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:92" href="#fn:92"><sup>92</sup></a> On the first day of bootcamp, individual contestants were put into groups of three within their category, and groups were put into pairs. They had to perform within that pair or group, and the category judge would then decide who would continue.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:93" href="#fn:93"><sup>93</sup></a> There was then a change in the format, that saw the judges choose the contestants to advance to judges' houses immediately after their bootcamp performance, instead of waiting until everyone had performed. Each judge had six places to their judges house, and they granted a 'seat' to the performers they wanted to advance in their category. However, if a judge already chose six contestants for their category, they could replace them if they preferred a later performer, therefore causing bootcamp to be branded the 'ultimate game of musical chairs' or even Six Chair Challenge was introduced.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:94" href="#fn:94"><sup>94</sup></a> Bootcamp was broadcast over two episodes, each of 90 minutes, on 28 and 29 September.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:95" href="#fn:95"><sup>95</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:96" href="#fn:96"><sup>96</sup></a> </p> <h3>Judges' houses</h3> <p>Judges' houses took place in September.

So for the bean counters and <i>X Factor</i> PR machine it will probably be labelled a hit. In the long-term, however, I fear this 'Supersized <i>X Factor</i>' may lead some viewers to reach for their remotes suffering from reality TV fatigue."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:312" href="#fn:312"><sup>312</sup></a> </p><p>Additionally, Fletcher was critical of the format change to bootcamp, saying "The show can be cruel for those taking part, brutal for those who don't make the grade, and its fickleness is nothing compared to the harsh realities of the music industry. However, the argument that 'the music industry is meaner' fell apart this week. [...] I refuse to believe that anyone in the music industry has even been given a contract, told they're brilliant and then forced to watch 15 other people sing and have that contract ripped up in front of their faces. And even if they have, I bet they didn't have an audience of 4,000 people chanting at them to be on their way. This was reality TV at its most cruel."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:313" href="#fn:313"><sup>313</sup></a> He wondered if the change was a "desperate attempt to create interest in a series that has performed solidly in the ratings, but without creating any real talking points or memorable moments",<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:314" href="#fn:314"><sup>314</sup></a> and said that "watching <a href="/facts/Karen_Harding/rC4mdRVd">Karen Harding</a>, <a href="/facts/Lydia_Lucy/8fx2rEng">Lydia Lucy</a> and Sheena McHugh get put into the Top 6 and then have the dream of a spot at Judges' Houses snatched away from them felt needlessly mean. Whether the trio deserved to make Judges' Houses or not felt irrelevant. The audience finger-pointing and the chanting of 'Swap! Swap! Swap!' made the whole process terribly ugly."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:315" href="#fn:315"><sup>315</sup></a> He questioned the show's producers' "need to make it even more vicious", opined that the new twist "definitely undermines the credibility of the show's judges", and said, "The whole twist felt contrived and unpleasant, and I hope it won't be returning in 2014."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:316" href="#fn:316"><sup>316</sup></a> </p><p>Fans and viewers of the show also criticised the bootcamp format, with some viewers said to be fearing for the contestants' wellbeing, with one calling it "blood sport". Singer <a href="/facts/Lily_Allen/XYTTIQas">Lily Allen</a>, who watched the show, said, "When did become alright to f*** with people's minds. <i>X Factor</i> has got fully mean."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:317" href="#fn:317"><sup>317</sup></a> Contestant Lydia Lucy, who was initially chosen to be in Scherzinger's final six but was replaced by Abi Alton, said, "It still hasn't sunk in. I've been absolutely devastated. [...] If Simon Cowell was in front of me now I'd tell him to change the format back to how it was. This way is like dangling a carrot in front of someone and then taking it away."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:318" href="#fn:318"><sup>318</sup></a> </p><p>The new "flash vote" twist during the live shows was met negatively by <a href="/facts/Lorna_Simpson_(singer)/xMTpDCsl">Lorna Simpson</a>, who was the first contestant to be eliminated. Simpson said it was unfair that she had far less time to prepare than fellow sing-off contestant <a href="/facts/Shelley_Smith_(singer)/xMTpDCsl">Shelley Smith</a>, claiming "They set me up to go out in the first week".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:319" href="#fn:319"><sup>319</sup></a> It was reported that Cowell was planning to axe the flash vote after <i>The X Factor</i> was heavily beaten by <i><a href="/facts/Strictly_Come_Dancing/LbWD5clQ">Strictly Come Dancing</a></i> in the ratings for the second live show.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:320" href="#fn:320"><sup>320</sup></a> The flash vote was not used in week 4 due to a performance at the start of the show by <a href="/facts/Nile_Rodgers/NwdqF5t5">Nile Rodgers</a> and <a href="/facts/Chic_(band)/JA9DXqsX">Chic</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:321" href="#fn:321"><sup>321</sup></a> and was not used again in week 5. A source from the show said, "at the moment it is not scheduled to return".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:322" href="#fn:322"><sup>322</sup></a> The flash vote was not used again after week 3. </p> <h4>Contestants</h4> <p>Before judges' houses, urban act Code 4 had to drop one of their members, Mark Wyman, after it emerged that he had a criminal record, and a spokesman for <i>The X Factor</i> said, "Unfortunately due to problems in getting a visa Mark was unable to travel to Judges' Houses in America, meaning that he ended up having to leave the band to carry on in the competition as a three piece."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:323" href="#fn:323"><sup>323</sup></a> Code 4 did not make it to the live shows. Three-piece band Rough Copy also had to lose member Kazeem "Kaz" Ajobe before the six-chair challenge due to visa problems. The same had happened to the group in series 9, but this year the other two members, Sterling Ramsay and Joey James, continued without Ajobe and advanced to judges' houses as a duo.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:324" href="#fn:324"><sup>324</sup></a> Fans questioned the events, and the extent to which ITV wanted to resolve them, saying they had a year to get a visa,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:325" href="#fn:325"><sup>325</sup></a> and Barlow could have stayed in the United Kingdom, the latter sentiment to which Barlow admitted to Ajobe he should have done during the judges' houses episodes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:326" href="#fn:326"><sup>326</sup></a> Barlow put Rough Copy through to the live shows and Ajobe was allowed to rejoin the band.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:327" href="#fn:327"><sup>327</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:328" href="#fn:328"><sup>328</sup></a> Furthermore, just after Ajobe was reinstated, controversy was caused when his criminal past was publicised. Ajobe responded by stating: "I've done things I am not proud of. I haven't been an angel but I am a changed man now."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:329" href="#fn:329"><sup>329</sup></a> </p><p>There was criticism over SeSe Foster of Miss Dynamix being allowed to compete in the show, because she was five months pregnant when the live shows began. Some viewers also thought it was unfair that Miss Dynamix got an automatic bye to the next week when Foster collapsed before the second live show. Foster dismissed this, saying that she "deserve[s] a shot at a better life" and insisted her collapse was not related to her pregnancy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:330" href="#fn:330"><sup>330</sup></a> The following week, Miss Dynamix were eliminated after losing the flash-vote and the sing-off to Hannah Barrett. Following this, Barlow stated that he felt that all public hopes of the group continuing in the competition had ended with their absence in week 2, despite him previously hoping that Foster's collapse would have gained more sympathy for them from the public.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:331" href="#fn:331"><sup>331</sup></a> </p> <h4>Judges' comments</h4> <p>Some viewers were shocked by a comment made by Osbourne following 16-year-old Nicholas McDonald's performance of "<a href="/facts/She%2527s_the_One_(World_Party_song)/13NsGkTK">She's the One</a>" during the second live show. As McDonald got to the end of the song, a female backing dancer walked towards him and he kissed her cheek after the song finished. Despite the minimum age of sexual consent in the United Kingdom and the Crown Dependencies standing at 16, Osbourne then said to McDonald, who was 16 and therefore legal, "Who on earth was that piece of whatever next to you? That <a href="/facts/Paedophile/oUPjArcW">paedophile</a>. You're only 16. You can't be doing that. That's a disgrace ITV."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:332" href="#fn:332"><sup>332</sup></a> She was later spoken to by producers, but Walsh defended her, saying "She meant nothing wrong by it. We all say things we shouldn't and <i>X Factor</i> is not scripted."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:333" href="#fn:333"><sup>333</sup></a> The dancer declined to comment, but a source close to her said that she was embarrassed by Osbourne's comment.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:334" href="#fn:334"><sup>334</sup></a> </p> <h4>Guest performances</h4> <p><a href="/facts/Ofcom/gblYjeXh">Ofcom</a> received around 200 complaints about <a href="/facts/Lady_Gaga/UfMIcHaV">Lady Gaga</a>'s performance, including her costume and lyrics, during the third results show on 27 October 2013.
