It turns out that even Caroline doesn't really know what's going on.
@JordJosh hope not

Fans are wondering where she is.
Not sure if it's unfavourable editing, but I don't think I've heard Caroline Flack utter a word on #XFactor

What to Read Next
And they're not happy about her absence.
@ITV @ollyofficial @TheXFactor I'd appreciate more of @carolineflack1 tbh. Seems like you're cutting her out & throwing Olly in our faces :(

My bean bag said more than @carolineflack1 in tonight's XFactor! ITV stop editing her sound bites out. Loves a bit of flack me. #XFactor

Some people suggested possible reasons for her disappearance.
Caroline Flack is so anonymous on #XFactor I think she may have been placed there on the witness protection program.
— Nick Pettigrew (@Nick_Pettigrew) September 6, 2015
Is Caroline Flack off playing hide and seek? #XFactor
— Marc Johnson (@MarcslJohnson99) September 6, 2015
I thought Caroline Flack was a co-host on The X Factor...did she take her annual leave during the auditions?
— Michael Hickson (@hicksonite) September 6, 2015
Has Caroline Flack lost her voice ? Is that why we don't see or hear from her this season ? #XFactor
— Cara Doyle (@caradoyle) September 6, 2015
One even suggested she was channelling everyone's favourite EastEnders star.
Caroline flack is "Tracy the barmaid" of the X factor ..gurll got no lines #XFactor
— KY_ZUS (@Howdykyle) September 6, 2015
And another came up with a money-making idea.
Forget Where's Wally, Christmas presents sorted 'Where's Caroline Flack' #XFactor

Some couldn't resist pointing out the Saturday night TV battle.
X Factor is so bad this year, even Caroline Flack has still been spending more time appearing on Strictly!
— Andy Goulding (@AndyGoulding) September 6, 2015
Someone thought they'd cracked it...
Did #XFactor just hire caroline flack so they have someone to read the competition info out during the breaks ?
— chris latimer #JB17 (@chrisjlatimer) September 6, 2015
But someone wanted a different kind of contest.
They should have a competition where we have to spot Caroline Flack during the show #XFactor
— Katie Weasel (@KatieWeasel) September 6, 2015
Still, everyone agreed that a drinking game probably wasn't the way to go.
Have a shot every time Caroline Flack speaks on X Factor for the most sober night out ever
— D (@Dom_Founded) September 6, 2015
Although this man might have accidentally started a sweepstake.
By week 10 the producers might think of giving Caroline Flack a whole sentence on #XFactor #maybe
— simon alcock (@simongalcock) September 6, 2015
Some people had money on their minds...
Would love to know how much #CarolineFlack is paid per word on the #XFactor Pound for pound, probably more than #Messi or #Ronaldo
— Sean Callaghan (@keanespirit) September 6, 2015
... And others saw an employment opportunity.
I could be a stand in for the back of Caroline Flack's head if she needs a break from #XFactor. Just need to borrow blonde wig.
— Richard Chiles (@Nootlin) September 6, 2015
But we feel bad that this has all been turned into a new insult.
U r as relevant as Caroline Flack on #XFactor
— JENNIFEROMALLEY (@Jennie_OMalley) September 6, 2015
Finally the arrival of Anton's dog gave Caroline her time to shine.
Oh @carolineflack1 finally did something...walked contestant's dog on stage! Bravo! #XFactor
— Joanna (@JoPineappple) September 6, 2015
But she might wish she'd not been shown during Che's audition.
Awks when Caroline flack gets the lyrics wrong to Jessie j who you are
— Siân Shearwood (@SianShearwood) September 6, 2015
But we love her, so here's hoping we see more of her soon!
