‘X Factor' Boot Camp Auditions: Judges Struggle To Decide During Six Chair Challenge Preview (VIDEO) | HuffPost

First Look! Tensions Rise At 'X Factor' Bootcamp Auditions

The ‘X Factor’ arena auditions are all done and dusted, which can only mean one thing - it’s time for the Six Chair Challenge.

Yes, that’s right, the round that nobody understands is back, and by the looks of thing, viewers are set for a dramatic weekend.

Cheryl struggles to make her decisions

There’s already been plenty of indecision and controversial choices from Simon Cowell and his fellow judges, and by the looks of things, that’s not about to change.

The challenge will see contestants take their place in one of the six chairs if they’re deemed good enough, however, they can be ousted if another performer tops their performance.

The trailer for this weekend’s three episodes shows Cheryl Fernandez-Versini agonising over one of her choices, telling Simon that she’s made a “huge mistake”.

Later, Mel B becomes a teeny bit scary while telling one unidentified hopeful that their time on the show is up, and things appear to get even worse as tensions rise.

Once each judge has picked their six contestants, the next stop is the Judges’ Houses round, where they’ll each be joined by a celeb pal to help pick their finalists.

There could also be another twist in store, as the judges will reportedly be given the chance to meddle with each other’s selections.

The ‘X Factor’ will be aired on ITV1 on Friday 26, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September, this weekend.

Watch the preview above for a sneak peek at this weekend’s shows...
