Season 3 (2014)

Simon Cowell made an appearance and told the judges what categories they would mentor.André will be mentoring the Boys, Emmy has the Girls, Garik Papoyan will look after the Groups and Egor Glumov has been assigned the Over 24s.

Four-Chair challenge

For this season of The X Factor, Cowell confirmed that the boot camp and judges' houses sections of the competition, which traditionally followed the audition rounds, had been dropped and replaced with a brand new stage called "The Four-Chair challenge". Speaking on the change, he said "It [boot camp and Judges' houses] was the one element of the show I wasn't happy with, and it looked too similar to what everybody else is doing." He went on to describe the new "middle section" as "really dramatic, very tough on us and the contestants, and very high pressure", and compared the new round as similar to the live shows.

Key:

– Contestant was immediately eliminated after performance without switch

– Contestant was switched out later in the competition and eventually eliminated

– Contestant was not switched out and made the final four of their own category
