    • Trivia
      Matthew Newton was originally announced as Season 2 host, and had filmed several hours worth of footage during the audition & bootcamp stages. However, due to negative publicity from an alleged altercation with his girlfriend Rachael Taylor, Matthew resigned from his position as host, just one week before the first episode went to air. This caused last minute re-edits to remove all footage of Matthew from the show, as replacement Luke Jacobz was called upon to host.

      It's obvious the judges make their decision before the contestant starts performing.

    This Show is Actual Trash
    Not only is it evident that the judges have favorites and those are who will win. They also specifically sabotage auditions for laughs. It is more rigged and staged than Big Brother. Don't believe me? Look at what they did to Zoe Alexander. She was a former Pink impersonater who didn't want to sing a Pink song in her audition but they made her. Then the judges said she shouldn't have sang a Pink cover. When they allowed her to sing a second song, it was in the wrong key and the stage speakers were turned off so Zoe couldn't hear the key difference. Why? So they could set her up to be one of that season's laughing stocks. X FACTOR and Simon Cowell are absolutely garbage for what they did to this poor woman.
