Xtra Factor
Xtra Factor was an after show which was broadcast after every week's live show and results. It was hosted in season one by Sara Lumholdt and Martin Björk.[4]
Errors
In Week 4, David Hellenius had incorrectly announced that Manda Nilsénius had received fewer public votes than Hey Mary from deadlock and had to leave the competition. But after checking the votes, it was revealed that Hey Mary had received the fewest votes in that week.[5] Therefore, it was decided that both acts would continue to Week 5; to make up for this, two acts would be eliminated in Week 5.[5]
