Simon Cowell gave himself a new role on Saturday's (28.11.15).
The music mogul is the only judge without an act in the competition after his final competitor Anton Stephans was eliminated last weekend and Simon decided he would rate the acts from best to worst, calling it a "very important job".
There are just five acts left in the competition, Louisa Johnson, Lauren Murray, Ché Chesterman, 4th Impact and Reggie N Bollie, and each performed two songs each on Jukebox Week.
The first was a track chosen by the public while the second was picked by their mentors.
Reggie N Bollie were the hit of the night, with Simon praising them as genuine contenders.
They were even joined on stage by their mentor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, who danced along to their first song, 'Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)'.
Cheryl's other group 4th Impact also impressed Simon with both songs, while Nick Grimshaw's one remaining act Che Chesterman, was praised for his second track 'Try A Little Tenderness', after failing to win over the judges with his first song, Adele's 'Hello'.
Despite being sick, Louisa Johnson's cover of Justin Bieber's 'Love Yourself' was well received and she closed the show with 'Jealous' while Lauren Murray's 'You Don't Own Me', was a hit after 'Firestone' got a muted reaction.
The 'X Factor' semi-final will air next Saturday (05.12.15).

Peter Andre has been left fighting for his place in 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The former popstar placed last on Saturday's (28.11.15) show and while the judges had some positive comments for him and partner Janette Manrara, they still found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard with 31 points after their American Smooth.
Darcey Bussell said: "It had charm with an impressive one-handed lift but looked careful in places", while Bruno Tonioli added: "Shoulders came up and lost the mood, otherwise great."
Len Goodman said: "Your performance was really good. I enjoyed watching the pair of you dance."
Despite the largely positive comments, the pair once again found themselves in trouble, just one week after they faced the dance off.
Speaking about last week's close call, Peter said: "I deserved to be in the bottom two last week.
"This is the most nervous I've been, ever. I'm still nervous now."
Meanwhile, Helen George and her partner, Alijaz Skorjanec, topped the leaderboard, and were just one point off a perfect 40 with their Viennese Waltz.

Lauren Goodger is set to make a return to 'The Only Way is Essex' for its upcoming Christmas special.
The 29-year-old reality TV star, who was one of the original cast members when the show first hit screens in 2010, turned her back on the programme three years ago but is planning to return to her routes and stir up some trouble.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Lauren was one of 'Towie's most explosive characters and biggest names, so producers are hopeful she'll be back to cause more chaos.
"She's worked hard to slim down and overhaul her image since quitting the show, meaning she'll be even ballsier than before. Essex won't know what's hit it."
And, although storylines have moved on since her departure, show bosses are hopeful she's wreak havoc by bringing up her former fiancé Mark Wright, who has since married ex-soap beauty Michelle Keegan, on camera.
The insider added: "Lauren and Mark still clash whenever she tries to use him for publicity, so there could be fireworks off screen as well as on if his name crops up."
Meanwhile, Lauren isn't the only ex-cast member set to make a comeback this festive season as Gemma Collins and Mario Falcone, who quit the programme earlier this year, are also being lined up to feature in the special.

'Strictly Come Dancing' has been slapped with more 'fix' allegations after it emerged the judges get to watch the rehearsals backstage ahead of the main live show.
The panel - consisting of Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli - are reportedly allowed to see the celebrities and their professional partners practise their routines in order to prepare their comments.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "As far as the viewers are concerned, the first time the judges watch the routines, are when they are performed live.
"They always act with stunned surprise if a performance is really good or bad and make out their comments and marking are off the cuff.
"But in reality they have watched the routines hours earlier. The judges are with a producer who in all likelihood knows the previous week's voting figures.
"If there is someone they want to keep in, who is scoring low with viewers, they could mark them high and keep them in."
However, a spokesman for the BBC has shot down rumours the show is a set-up by claiming the judges do have the option to prepare their comments before the show but only to ensure their remarks are suitable before the watershed.
They added: "This has no impact whatsoever on the scores given on the night. At no point does anyone from production try to influence any of the judges' opinions."
Speculation the show was fixed began to circulate after professional dancer Ola Jordan claimed the judges are told by producers how to mark the contestants based on ratings.

Sean Miley Moore thinks Olly Murs and Caroline Flack "look like brother and sister".
The 'X Factor' hosts have been romantically linked ever since they first started working together on 'Xtra Factor' in 2011 and have both admitted to fancying each other in the past, but former contestant Sean - who was voted off the current series earlier this month - thinks they look more like siblings than boyfriend and girlfriend.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "They are so cute. Don't they look like brother and sister?"
The eccentric singer joked that if Olly and Caroline do come out as a couple he'll be devastated because he has a soft spot for the 'Troublemaker' singer himself.
He added: "If they got together I need to speak to Olly because my God if he got with Caroline there's one thing coming for him, 'How dare you do that to me!' "
Sean also compared his relationship with his mentor Nick Grimshaw to that of Kim Kardashian West and her mother and manager Kris Jenner's.
He explained: "Nick was fabulous. He was like one of the girls. He was Kris Jenner and I was Kim.
"He accepted me and he let me fly on that stage. He was like, 'Whatever you want let's do it'. He accepted me as an artist and most importantly as a person.
"When I got eliminated he was in shock. I think he cried a little bit, but he was like, 'You know what? Here's to the future bitch', and we cheersed a Corona and we just drank it. It is what it is."

Georgia May Foote thinks of her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner as her brother.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress is partnered with Italian hunk Giovanni Pernice on the celebrity dance contest but claimed they spend too much time bickering like siblings for any romantic feelings to develop.
The 24-year-old star - who is dating former co-star Sean Ward - said: "You end up like brother and sister. In my case, we wind each other up so much. We have to be friends to carry on."
'EastEnders' actress Kellie Bright also dismissed the 'Strictly' "curse" and insisted there have been no romantic relationships between the contestants and their professionals this year.
Speaking on 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man', she explained: "Kevin [Clifton] and I, we are like best friends really. Sorry! We are all boring."
The Wanted's Jay McGuiness - who is partnered with Aliona Vilani - joked that the reason there haven't been any hook-ups is because the celebrities aren't good looking enough.
He teased: "I think after ten years they are sort of scraping the barrel for who they can get to do it and they are like, 'Oh no one fancies that'."
'Alan Carr: Chatty Man' airs on Channel 4 tonight (27.11.15) at 10pm.
