Perspective
Auditions began on March 5, 2013.[6] Auditions were open to all ages. Entries must pass three auditions in front of the producers in order to get to perform in front of the judges and live audience. Selected best, worst, and most bizarre auditions typically move on to the judges stage. Judging took place in Nokia Arena, Tel Aviv.[7]
Bootcamp
Following the judges audition stage, 80 competitors entered the boot camp stage of the X factor. Following an initial round of auditions half of the contests were eliminated. The remaining acts had to perform a second audition in order to make it to the judges houses stage. 20 acts were collaboratively selected by the judges at the end of boot camp.
Twist
At the conclusion of bootcamp, a number of contestants from the boys category that were previously eliminated were called back into stage. The judges offered them a way back into the show as a group. The individual contestants were Edan Tamler,[8] Adir Tov,[9] Nadav Carni, Gustavo Quiñones, and Yuhan Buchnik. The band was eventually named Fusion.[8]
Judges' Houses
Five acts were chosen for each of the four categories. In the judges house, two acts from each category were eliminated. The top 12 contestants continued on for the live shows.[10]
