The acts that make it through the audition then go on to the next round to compete with each other for a place in boot camp, where each category of acts (boys, girls, groups and over 25s) is mentored by one of the judges. The judges then pick the best acts that they want to take into the live finals.
This year the judges are Simon Cowell (who owns the show), Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue. They each have four acts in the live finals that they hope can win. Each week one of the acts gets eliminated. The act that gets eliminated is chosen by the public and ultimately the judges. The public votes for their favourite act to stay in the competition, and the two acts with the lowest number of votes have to sing again. The judges then decide who they want to stay and the act with the fewest votes has to leave.
The show is a mainstream show that currently dominates evening weekend television. It is watched by people of all ages as it is a family show. I think it is also watched by older singles. The audience also depends on the type of acts in the show, as they wiill all have separate target audiences. Sometimes a certain audience will watch the show because they like a certain act, rather than the show itself.
