The day before the X Factor show takes off with the top 12, we give you a preview podcast talking about the show thus far, what to expect this season, and a little bit of X Factor UK history from my main man Aaron Hobart, aka Aaron Dammit. Aaron is a fan of the UK version of X Factor and he drops some knowledge about the last two seasons, which plays as a mini-preview of what we can expect for the inaugural US season.

We also talk about the following:

– The judges and whether or not Nicole Scherzinger will annoy all of America
– Simon’s fascination with Tiah Tolliver and whether it was real, or just set up to try to make good TV
– Who Aaron likes out of all four groups
– Our top 5
– A few quirks from the UK show that could play out in the US version

Check it out and let us know what you think.

Here are links to some of the videos Aaron wanted to show people to help prove his point about the differences so far in the US and UK version of the show:
