The auditions are over ladies and gents. Meaning it's now time to separate the good from the great, the vocally talented from the vocally strained and, of course, the sane from the crazies. Over the next two nights, the remaining 162 acts will compete with each other in a Boot Camp intensive that will bring them that much closer to becoming the winner of The X Factor.

On tonight's DANCING WITH THE STARS, following some of the most personal performances of the season, one celebrity will see the end of their journey.

Tonight on DANCING WITH THE STARS, the contestants get personal, with dances that represent a year marking an important event in their lives.

The X Factor came back with its third round of auditions this week, in none other but the very rainy and windy cities of Chicago and Seattle. The rain didn't seem dampen the contestants' spirits however. The night included a wide range of performances; some of which left me misty eyed and yearning to hear more and others left me wondering what sort of strange drugs the contestants ingested before heading onto the stage.
