The X Factor, The Day After: Season 2 Boot Camp Dish, Pt. 2

By | Reality Rocks – Fri, Oct 5, 2012 6:47 PM EDT

Last night, "The X Factor's" Boot Camp rounds continued...but it kind of felt like rival show "The Voice's" Battle Rounds, since the program switched up its format to feature singoffs between paired-up contestants. (Even Britney Spears referred to these singoffs as "battles" at one point, which I'm sure made Mark Burnett very happy.) It all seemed a little copycattish--which was especially odd considering how "The X Factor" is basically in direct competition with "The Voice" this fall--and it left me and my "The Day After" co-host Matt Whitfield confused about exactly which show we're discussing today...

But, of course, there is still plenty to discuss, besides "The X Factor" vs. "The Voice."  There's CeCe vs. Paige, Tara vs. Jennel, Tate vs. Willie, and Panda Ross vs. some apparently sleeping-on-the-job Fox editors,  for starters. Enjoy:

What did you think of last night's "X Factor" episode? Feel free to add your own commentary on the message board below.
