Another X Factor Twist

The X Factor live shows start next week and tonight, Dermot O’Leary announced that viewers should expect some sort of twist when it all kicks off.

Xtra Factor host Olly Murs confirmed the news on his Facebook page this evening and told his followers:

FINAL 16!!! So happy i can talk about it now!!! PLUS BIG TWIST NEXT WEEK!! what do you think it is???x

So what do you think it might be?

Last year the judges introduced wildcards for their twist, each bringing back one contestant to join the live show lineup and make the final 12 a final 16. It led to the comeback of Wagner, Paije Richardson, Treyc Cohen and Diva fever.

However, we don’t think this will be the case in 2011, as we already have 16 contestants and surely 20 would be way too many…..unless they start double eliminations of course.
