Amazingly there are no reports of any booze bingeing and everyone makes it up before 6am when Dave and Sinitta reveal Simon's plan for the day. The Groups are told they have to learn a song in just one hour. Everyone seems enthusiastic and gets straight at it. Simon arrives an hour later expecting to be impressed, "no excuses today" he tells them "you've got good songs".

Simon's songsheet includes the following numbers...

"Once I get in... once I practice the song..." but, remembering that Simon wants no excuses, she stops mid-sentence.

The girls shuffle out disappointed in themselves. Simon is also disappointed and he tells his team "I think they are potentially great but this is what happens when you put people under pressure."

Outside, Laura the blonde Conway, tells Kate "yesterday I had a bit of hope in me, today I don't."

Next in are the male vocal duo that appropriately call themselves "Two". They're sounding good apart from a slightly dodgy last bar.

"There's something sort of charming about these guys" says Simon once they leave the room.

The "Two" guys tell Kate they are happy with how they sang and they're keeping their fingers crossed.

The Chapman Brothers' sing Every Breath You Take. Once again they seem a little nervous but their vocals are good. Afterwards they tell Kate that they're happy with the reactions from the mentors who they think "...all looked optimistic".

Simon is certainly impressed by the twins' commitment, "they really, really, really, really want this" he tells Sinitta.

Brothers Andy and Carl Pemberton from Journey South struck lucky with the song they had to learn. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is the same song they sang for their original audition!

However, Andy is still nervous before singing for Simon & co, "you just start getting butterflies inside and it's a strange feeling. You start forgetting things".

Happily the guys don't forget a thing. They sing with a fierce passion and after they leave the room vocal coach Dave speaks of "a moment of magic". Simon agrees, but cautions that they may have been singing in clubs too long to become credible recording artists.

Addictiv Ladies were overjoyed when they made it to the second day of Boot Camp. Today the Walthamstow girls are singing All Saints' 'Never Ever'.

• Sinitta calls them adorable.
• Dave Laudat describes their set as "kind of all over the place, but I found myself smiling".
• Simon says he likes the fact "that it's not right but it is right"!

The girls may not be doing everything right just yet, but it sounds like they're definitely doing something right!

Despite making it to day 2 Eskimo Blonde still aren't feeling confident about their standing in the contest.

Hari tries to think positive, "if we'd have been complimented yesterday we would have been complacent today, but we're not, we're really nervous, but in a good way."

They do okay with Britney's Baby One More Time, although some of the harmonies are a bit rough.

Of the three girls it is Hari who consistently stands out, both vocally and performance-wise. Simon's comment after the girls have left the room sums things up, "it's still a mess, but I really, really, really like this girl... in the middle (Hari)"

Next up it's 'Battle of the Boy Bands - Part II'.

4Tune and 4th Ba5e both rate themselves above their competition...

Blair, the leader and founder of 4th Ba5e is talking the talk, "They don't want to see pretty boys any more. It's like 'do you want a bunch of dolphins or do you want a bunch of dobermans?"

4th Ba5e attempt a complex arrangement of the N'synch number I Want You Back, but unfortunately things start going awry during Dan's vocal.

Blair stops the band and asks if they can start again, when they do they run straight into another problem with the lyrics, this time on Mark's vocal.

Simon reminds the guys that on a live show if you forget the words "you can't say 'start again'". Afterwards Blair articulates the mood of the group "That's it. Game over! It's unlikely he's gonna put 3 boy bands through".

Simon's words to 'Two' are... "Good singers... I think the girls would love you..."
He smiles and the 'Two' boys hopes must be soaring, but here it comes... "I have made a decision guys you haven't made the final 7"!

It seems that verdict-speak is all back to front. So 4Tune must be really worried when Simon tells them... "You've done great. You know that.. and I've made a decision...."
Now that sounds like really bad news! Fortunately Simon is playing it straight this time, he continues... "You're in the top 7 guys!"
