Now for us, it's only been a week since the 12 X Factor finalists were announced, but in reality they've been preparing for a while. During this time the 21 contestants have all been living together in an eight-bedroom house together and, not surprisingly, tensions have begun to mount. Scott and Eoghan have reportedly been playing lots of pranks on each other, including smearing Vaseline on door handles and hiding mattresses in cupboards – ooh, the naughty boys – and Austin's habit of leaving his pants on the bathroom floor is infuriating the other housemates. We feel their pain, heatworld's boyfriend does that all the time and it's VERY annoying. Anyway, as well as falling out over cleaning and pranks, Girlband had a huge bust up this week, as they struggled to master a dance routine. Oh dear... But the contestant who's had the biggest row is – and we can't say we're that surprised – Rachel, who has only gone and fallen out with her mentor Dannii. The outspoken singer, who also had a few stern words with Simon Cowell during the first round of Boot Camp, has been arguing with Dannii over her choice of song. Dannii allegedly wanted the young mum to sing dance track With Every Heartbeat (by Robyn), but Rachel has complained that it's not "in her comfort zone". However, Dannii has stuck to her choice, reasoning that as last year's winning mentor, she knows what she's talking about. So, it's Dannii: 1 and Rachel: nil, for now... We love all these tales of tensions and arguments, and we can't wait to see if Rachel manages to pull it off tomorrow night. Do you think it's the right song for her?
