Ultimate X Factor (Season 2)

Ultimate X Factor is a Tengaged based reality music competition based on the original UK series, with the purpose of pitting the best singers in the buisness against each other, and finding out who will come out victorious. The second season began airing on April 27th 2014 with applications starting two days before. The competition is split into three main stages: auditions, judge's homes and live shows, with Laurenjade121, Euro and BigBrotherFan132 returning as judges.

Judges and hosts
It was revealed on April 24th 2014 that all three judges from the first season would return for a second season at the judges table. All three judges will remain for the entire season.

Riley also returned as the host of the second season and will solely host all shows throughout the season.

Applications and auditions
Applications took place from April 25th - April 26th 2014 and then were shown to the judges over 3 nights between April 27th - April 29th. The producers also revealed that this season they would accept 36 auditions, twelve from each category, two more than last season. The acts were split by categories. The judges comment and score each act with the top six scorers moving onto the second stage of the competition. In the event of a tie for 6th place, the judges would vote on who they want to join the top 6. In a twist, once the categories were revealed, each mentor got to select one eliminated act that they believe should have advanced to join them at their judges homes as a wildcard, making a Top 21 at judges homes.
