They were then grouped into separate groups, with Edwards and Nelson in 'Faux Pas' and Thirlwall and Pinnock in 'Orion'. However, both groups failed to make it through to judge's houses. After a decision from the judges, "Rhythmix" was formed after the members were called back and had agreed to worked together as a four-member group thus sending them through to the judge's houses. They eventually reached the live shows and were mentored by Tulisa Contostavlos. On 26 October 2011, they announced that they would change their name following a dispute with a Brighton-based children's music charity of the same name, after the programme tried to trademark "Rhythmix". A spokesman for The X Factor said, "At the request of the charity Rhythmix, the members of the girl group Rhythmix have decided to change their name, a decision which has the support of Syco and TalkbackTHAMES." It was reported that the band decided to make the change, despite no legal reason to do so, to avoid any difficulties for the charity. During Week 4 of the live shows the group announced that their new name would be "Little Mix". On 27 November 2011, Little Mix became the first girl group in the show's eight-year history to make it to the final four, the previous record having been held by Series 4's Hope. The group went on to win the show, becoming the first act from the Groups category to do so in the programme's eight-year history.
