What would YOU do on your last day before embarking on your life-changing THE X FACTOR journey? You might say goodbye to your friends, family, and fish. You might get a dye job to look like your favorite judge. You might even take a whirl on a merry-go-round with your kid.

Or, maybe not. But that's exactly what our Top 24 did and then some! And, we've got the video to show you. Each of our Top 24 acts in the four categories (Teens, Young Adults, Groups, and Over 25s) documented their journey from their hometowns to the next phase of the competition, Judges' Homes, in very personal, intimate, and oh so revealing video diaries.

Check out ALL of the videos to find out which dueling pair of divas each wore fuzzy, one-piece pajamas on the eve of their big journey. Which contestant do you think took that whirl on the merry-go-round? Which one kissed their pet fish goodbye? Which TWO acts copied Demi Lovato's style while packing for their trip? (It's two total Bitch Stole My Look moments here, folks!) Which TWO acts consider themselves "total goofballs?" Which act has a pet snake and can say the 50 states in alphabetical order in 17 seconds?

And, who do you think made these statements on the eve of their journeys?

"I'm feeling like a lion on top of a mountain."
"Life throws curve balls and we definitely hit one out of the park with this whole experience."
"We on a boat!"
"I'm really excited. I'm freaking out. It's a wow moment right now."
"I'm nervous as I don't know what."
