Judges' houses[edit]

The Judges' houses episodes aired on 7 October and 8 October 2017. As opposed to previous seasons, this was not the place for guest speakers, but every mentor listened to the performances of the four categories, then the mentor of that category would automatically choose two contestants for the live shows and leave one more contestant for the other three mentors to choose. The Hungarian X-Factor is the first where this format is used.

The twelve eliminated acts were:

• Boys: Martin Barna, Dániel Bereznay, Pál Kovács
• Girls: Boglárka Izsó, Anna Lengyel, Szandra Klarissza Oláh
• Over 25s: Snjezana Pecija, Dezső Rékasi, David Vardanov
• Groups: Catchy Workshop, Florián Kvintett, M&M
