The X Factor is heading to the Six Chair Challenge next week, but first we were treated to some last-chance performances from Boot Camp. The Boys and Overs were trying their hardest to make it through, so here are their performances from worst to best:
19. Gem Ozalcin
A gem by name, but not by singing quality.
18. Andre Batchelor
From his gold confetti, to "Auntie Carol", to: "He looked like a crab going sideways", Cheryl said it all: "This has got to stop."
17. Ankush Khanna
"I can't think of anything positive to say about that." Ouch, Simon.
16. Papasidero
Look at the positives: at least Papasidero was compared to Madonna. Shame it was for the cape incident, though.
15. Jamie Benkert
The Olly Murs tribute had his time on The X Factor Wrapped Up. Sorry.
14. Ebru
"I could feel the tremors in her voice." That's probably not a good thing.
13. Mason Noise

The X Factor hopeful Jamie Benkert has admitted that his audition was "overshadowed" by comparisons to Olly Murs - but said that he is taking it all as a positive.
Benkert - who has actually worked as an Olly Murs tribute act - made it through to the next stage of the competition in Saturday's night show, but Simon Cowell gave him a no after noting how similar he was to Murs.
The 24-year-old later wrote on Facebook that the audition had been "badly edited" but he told Digital Spy today that he is "not annoyed" with the show.
"Obviously The X Factor's an amazing platform, it's such a platform that can really catapult a career, and I just really wanted people to just see me," he said. "I've always wanted to go on The X Factor - I've watched it for years - and it's like, 'I want to be on that stage!

The X Factor hopeful Jamie Benkert has admitted that he worried about his mum when his drink driving conviction was reported in the press - but explained that he knows what to expect from fame thanks to his friend Frankie Cocozza.
Benkert - an Olly Murs lookalike who won a place in the next round of The X Factor on Saturday night's show - was banned from driving for a year in 2012 after being found over the limit in Birmingham.
Speaking to Digital Spy today, Benkert admitted that he was worried about how his mum would react to his conviction being in the news.
"That was something in my past - it happened three years ago, I didn't really think it was news," he said. "I was a bit surprised. My mum knew anyway, but the worst thing was my mum seeing that because obviously I'm out there representing my...
