The show begins with a cross-Canada tour where singers audition in front of four judges much like its sister Idol shows. Their names are Jake Gold, Sass Jordan, Zack Werner, and Farley Flex. During this audition process, the judges' reactions vary from a relatively open dislike to nearly-uncontrolable laughter over most auditioners. Eventually the performers are narrowed down to 10 finalists (11 in season one due to a near-tie), with each contestant performing live. Viewers have two hours following the broadcast of the show to phone in their votes for their favourite contestant. On the following night's episode (live again), the contestant with the fewest votes is sent home.
