Its the super fun game that needs no introduction, its the best thing about blondepoker.com/forum, its the previously award nominated thread and its BACK!

SOVIETSONGS SUPER FUN X-FACTOR EVICTION GAME PART DEUX, THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL

For those of you new to blonde I will give you a brief overview for old hats and hero's of this thread last year you will know the score.  

Each week you name 2 people from x-factor that you predict will leave the show, some weeks we mix things up but for the most part this is the game.  If your selection is in the bottom 2-3 or whatever you get a point if they go you get some more points.  We change the rules as and when to keep everything super fun but one change this year is games masters (sovietsong) decision is no longer final... WE'VE GOT JUDGES THIS YEAR!

The judges are responsible for disputes as well as giving out bonus points when the games master (sovietsong) puts forward nominees... we've got three judges so will always have an outcome, its like I planned it!

One rule that remains is you need to give a reason why you have made your selection and you need to highlight your pick.  Highlight it as you wish but simple "bold" is not enough.

Fail to do this and you will be up infront of the judges.

Last year I offered a $20 prize, this year I've decided to up the ante... for the winner this year a SKY UMBRELLA* is up for grabs, thats right... an umbrella, bear in mind the weather we are having this could be the ideal christmas gift for a loved one or you can have it all for yourself!!  No fee to enter!!  NO FEE AND A GREAT PRIZE.

Judges will be announced shortly but have been selected and I will be honest we've got some of the best around.  They each have an opinion and won't be scared to share it!

GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*umbrella was donated to me by chrisbruce a legend of blonde and is in tightends car (I hope)... winner will have to arrange collection.

amazing

fuck

my

life

Amelia Lily to win!!!

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it

you won the world last year on one direction didnt you?

Abs filth, I am sure this brolly is a hand me down plus one! I wanted to get involved but I do not fancy winning the said item again. Sigh. Marcus Collins ftw!

Let's do this

X Factor Twist has just been announced.......

http://xfactor.itv.com/2011/news/story/read_theme-revealed_item_100094.htm

WOW

fyp

This is a super fun thread. No talk of playing hands around the bubble and being underwhelmed by x factor

  - His name is Frankie, he has a shit voice, needs a haircut and is clearly a massive prick.

- Sounds like a cat in a blender, should be singing in the park with a can of special brew

You do realise you've made BITB cry now, no?

I can confirm that the SKY POKER umbrella awaits the winner

Sadly I will not be participating, due to not being chosen as a judge despite prior contributions

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i9uZkTTseJM/S7Jugh7E2LI/AAAAAAAAAnw/JfpbXumiDuQ/s1600/FLOWER_POWER_R1_96.jpg)

His love and my hate combined has lead us to a fiddy notes last longer. When Frankie goes home early is when the tears will come.

My pre watching prediction would be exits for:
Nu Vibe
Sami
Amelia
James Michael

wtf, I'll lay a million on Amelia/Nu Vibe.

£1 ew?

In a reverse forecast?

meh - that can't be the full extent of the 'big twist' surely.  reckon they've announced that early coz there's more to come.  still reckon cheryl might make a reappearance, maybe with the 4 the other judges dump.

JUDGES FIRST VOTE

High council please vote for option A or B. Majority rule...

A) start next week
B) 4 picks half a point per correct pick, as it will be easy to guess most.

B. I can't wait

B for me too, even though I'm not an official judge.

I'm really not sure.  I know what the public want and I really think the public would want to wait until next week.  just like they love jedward and they would have loved goldie.

b is irish if that helps

ah right you are then.  B.

Kitty to win. Got £200 on at 50to1.

Pretend monies obv. When I'm pretend rich you are all going to be well jealous.

She's going to like, go on a journey. It'll be mint. Mon yersel hen.

see.  i KNEW the public would love kitty.  don't forget to pick up your phone and vote tank!

My love for her is without limits. It is complete, thorough and perfect.

Don't votes cost like 10p though? At this point all I'm prepared to guarantee is that I won't vote against her.

OMG theTank ITT!!

Looking forward to hearing your opinions!!

craig if you win back the brolly I will throw in a high five and/or a hug when we meet to sweeten the deal.

TightEnd, I apologise that you were not selected as a judge and I hope that you can look past this and try and take down the main prize.

The reasons for this will not be discussed in public, I'm not here to have a slanging match.  You know where I am if you want to discuss this further...

<3 Tank!!!

One question, do we enter our homegoers after the first show but before the results or before the first show?

TYIA

xx

Welcome along, you just need to get your selection in before the results are announced, any sight of foul play will result in a ban so leave it as late as you like really but as soon as a name is announced its too late!

The most important part of the thread is the interactive nature, bear in mind the prize on offer.  Its not just a case of throwing in a few names you need to give a reason and always HIGHLIGHT your picks!

Best of luck!

it's nearly time! 

Oh thought it was disco theme :( or is that another twist?

Groups--- Rhythmix (sp). WTF was that supposed to be?  ;tk;

I really don't get anything about Frankie.  apart from he has cool hair.  

but he does remind me of a young marc bolan.

he's a ladies man like ChipRich.

Yeah, but Rich has seven Hendonmob flags tattooed on his arse instead

meh - i think chiprich is better looking tbh.

sophie best so far by a mile

Groups--- Rhythmix (sp). WTF was that supposed to be?  ;tk;


Over the hills.. JonJo   Louie's basically told him he's toast if he didn't choose his song

excellent highlighting skills!

Thanks. Watching this live is my penance for failing to sat into the DtD Deepstack :)

haha, its so much better when you can fast forward!

Dermot in xfactor soliciting shocker.

(http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq267/ppokerfan/hoes.jpg)

can see why kelly wasn't chosen to be a judge on this thread, she's gonna be far too busy picking which act to send home. really, really difficult category to call

Amelia worst so far from that group. Misha B ftw.

Yeah, agreed Amelia worst so far, that shows what a difficult call it is. Could always just send Misha home, she doesn't need this comp, already the finished article and could go away and record a no.1 album tomorrow

here we go.  don't let me down craigy

They turned him into a fat Justin Bieber lookalike.

vocals 1 million x better than frankie

Groups--- Rhythmix (sp). WTF was that supposed to be?  ;tk;


Over the hills.. JonJo   Louie's basically told him he's toast if he didn't choose his song


Girls Amelia Lily Weakest of 4, very dificult category to pick weakness though


Boys James Michael Can't see the other 3 b oys getting the push, should still be in if public voted


This twist shouldve been bottom 4 in public vote but if it was Louis would have no acts left :)

who is craig michael?  is he one of those acts they made up from bits of other acts?

that's the most impressed i've been with Janet since this started tbh

Trying to cover two acts :)

No pick is James Michael, typo oops... amended OP

James Michael will not count as your pick unless the proper name is highlighted in some way.  although super fun, it's also super important that we set a good standard in rule abiding.

amended ;hide;

good stuff.  no mr nice louis next time though and there will probs be forfeits for repeat offenders.

I can't do my picks yet coz i missed a few of the acts and realised when I went to watch them back that I'd sky+'d tomorrow's show instead of tonight's so gonna have to wait til the late repeat or you tube.

itv.com crashed too

can you please amend your op rather than where you're quoting yourself to avoid confusion, at the moment you have multiple picks. tia

strong handed judging so far...

Just to confirm who has the prestigious title of 'Games Master'?

Was option B finalised?

yes, option B was agreed

everyone has 4 picks this week, one from each category. 1/2 point for each of your selections that is sent home tomorrow so a maximum of 2 points up for grabs

I am of course the games master!!

Do we get to enter boss?

ok here are my picks:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/amelia.jpg)

weakest peformance of the four girls - doesn't sound like an x factor winner

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/2shoes.jpg)

wasn't too keen on rhythmix either, but think tulisa will give them another shot.  2 shoes have had their time imo

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/jonjo.jpg)

poor peformance - and seems like him and louis not seeing eye-to-eye.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/frankie.jpg)

the guy doesn't have a good enough voice.  and he's not even particularly good looking.  cool hairstyle alone should not be enough to carry you through.  plus i seem to be pretty  much the only person on this thread who didn't warrant a tattoo.  get him out.

we make the rules so as long as 2 of us say yes then it's a yes. we could say no for a laugh to nullify claw's entry but tbh I could do with a brolly

IMO:

Sophie Habibis Tough category. I think Amelia did well despite the criticism on here.

2 Shoes Bad singers. Essex thing gets pretty bor (ing)

Jonjo Oh dear. No star quality although I think it should between him and Johnny Robinson but looks like they have him marked as jedward/wagner in the absence of Goldie

James Michael Horrible performance. Uninspiring. Boring. Uncharasmatic

Gonna say yes cos I am fun despite what you say

the following will be going home

(http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m389/_gatso_/week1.png?t=)

jonjo, just awful all round, bit unfair to put him through to the finals

amelia lily, would be a contender in any other year but going home by default. just unlucky to be in a ridic strong category, the other 3 are just better

james michael, wow, how boring is he? please go home now

nu vibe, if you're going to have the word nu in your name then you should do something nu. seen it all before and wasn't too excited by it the first 12 times I saw identical bands do the same performance. to get sent home first in a category that contains 2 shoes is going to be an embarrassment but surely that's what's going to happen

final 3 this year will be misha, craig and the risk. I'll try and award myself extra points at the end when I'm proved right but will probably be overruled

This is right!  But nu vibe could go instead of 2 shoes!

Anyone criticising Amelia needs to go to the doctors! She abs smashed it!

Kelly's

Amelia Lilly - mj awful (Tribute concert wannabe IMO!! Terribad song!)
Sophie Ellis - (Easy money - Safe)
Misha B (WOW! go girl diva)
Janet Devlin (cry all - ship dez chippies!!)

Lou's

Johnny Robinson - Cher - not great ( for trying and dismally failing to play the gaydar card..bad Louis)
John-joe (Squaddie, bad karaoke - shit song end of)
Sammi Brooks (Repl - great choice!! AMAZE Poss winner!! though very Michelle McManus)
Kitty Buchnall (queen - who wants to live forever? killed)

Tulisa's

Rythmics (raptasically safe)
Two Shoes (look like drag queens - sounded dated, cheap and cheesy)
Nu Vibe (bad backing track, wasn't blown away!!)
the risk (no harmonies - safe)

Gary's

Frankie cacoza (Safe)
James Michael (Ace) Beatles ticket to ride
Marcus Collins (Diva dance like Jagger) ? looks like he should be singing shawaddywaddy
Craig coulton (AMAZE! who do you think you are?) - saved by the second half which was ace!

And so concludes the voting and highlightedness from Bradforshire.

xx

After watching guesses are now

Nu Vibe - I missed 2 shoes and Rythmix but my thinking was that Tulisa would keep her options open and lose one of the boybands so they don't split votes. I think the risk have a better chance.
Jonjo - He was pub karaoke standard and I don't see Louis sending any of the others home.
Amelia - Didn't rate her before and didn't think he was good last night. Young enough to give her the "it's not your last chance, don't give up your dream"
James Michael - I didn't think he was very special at all. Didn't like Marcus either but didn't rate JM pre show

Judges can enter, this game is super fun and there for the people! 

Don't forget to post before the results are announced Guy.  I think you have what it takes to win this...

My picks for this week are..........

Ameilia - she's not a horrible singer, but no 'wow factor' by her last night.  She's unlucky to be in probably the toughest category this year.  First on - easiest forgotten.

JonJo - was just plain awful compared to the others, including Kitty who I abso can't stand.  Pity, because he seems an ok Lad, but this is just too much for him.

Nu Vibe - they're the weaker of the boy bands and she nearly has to pick them.  2 Shoes get the freak vote, Girl band get the ? vote and The Risk are her winner.  Nothing left for Nu Vibe.

James Michael - Can't stand Frankie, but this isn't his week to go because Gary has too much man love for him.  Of the rest, James is the weakest imo and won't last the distance.

Amelia  worst of a strong group, coin flip with Sophie, other 2 are staying in for a while


Jonjo - should actually be Jonny but the circus show must go on.


James - miles behind, and last time I saw a hairstyle like that was on Brookside.  20 seconds in was the moment I decided to go and make some toast instead.


2 shoes - Just go already.  Mutton dressed as mutton.  Can sing a bit, but there's no point as The Risk are going to dooooooo this.

Back to play the super song X-factor soviet fun game. Cannot not.

Amelia - This is the 16 year old who went first yes? She was the weakest of the 3 on the night and because she's the youngest I think it'll be easy for the judge to morally justify getting rid of her citing the "you're not quite ready" card.

Nu Vibe - Two boy bands, one was weaker. Again I'm thinking how the judge is going to sell crushing the dreams of one of the acts they're mentoring. Now Tulisa will have one Boy Band, one Girl Band, and one odd shit Essex shoe duo

Johnny Robinson - Perhaps Louie will keep in the amateurish squaddie to crank up the controversy. I see everyone else plumping for Jonjo, I don't like to always fly with the pack.

James Michael - This is the one who did the Beatles cover yes? I think the bum boy and the big lad safe. It was between this one and the other one.

On the bum!

they are bobbies but the nipples are out of sight underneath!

When did Claw get our names tatooed on her boobies?

Nice knowing you Chris gg

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/frankie2.jpg)

FMP  -  Soz but I got two mixed up.  They're unmixed now.

hmmmm might have to take this to a judge's vote

No worries.  Whatever ye decide is grand.

if OP isn't amended before Tulisa sees this I wouldn't wanna be in Dawn's shoes.  As she's (sort of) Irish I'm prepared to let her off this time.

Think as Dawn has showed respect for the judges decision we should allow the change as a ONE OFF. In future first vote counts only.

sigh

dawn, please do as redsimon was instructed to do. ignorance is no excuse especially when a fellow contestant has already been reprimanded for the same offence

and good luck in the competition, I feel you're representing the girls of this country

I'm happy with edits up to game time. not however happy with edits where no actual editing is done so one player has more than one selection

My apologies.  Missed Redsimon's drama as I was blinded by the boobs butt.  OP has been proper edited now.  Cheers!

tyvm. can understand the boobblindness

Kelly's Angels

A tough group to choose from.  Janet and Misha were a class above the other two.  Amelia is something special but didn't have the best night.  I think allowances will be made for her being first on which has to add for the nerves and Sophie will be the unfortunate casualty this week from Kelly's group

Louis' Groups

Another tough group to call but for opposite reasons to Kelly's group.  Choosing who should stay is a difficult job.  It's a crime that talent has to go from the other groups to make room for some of these.  Sammi is the best of the bunch.  My pick is Jonjo, he was terrible and looked like nerves got to him.  Unfortunately for him, the others did a lot better and he'll face eviction

Tulisa's Tribes

Weak group with the exception of The Risk who were one of the top acts of the night.  Nu Vibe and Rhythmix just failed on vocals so I'm going to go for Two Shoes to be evicted as they were pretty bad in every way possible.

Gary's Hombres

Again another really tough group to pick, they were all pretty good but I think James Michael will take the fall simply because he wasn't as good.  Such a shame as he's better than all of Louis lot and 3 of Tulia's

dear oh dear.

Silo, I suggest you re-read the rules in the OP and amend your post double quick if you want your picks to be counted this week.

or alternatively, post the pic of you dressed as homer simpson and i'll have a word and let them count anyway :D

ha ha, I'll edit :D

I've not reread the rules properly except for one line, am I good now ?

Edwina's out





































Oops, wrong show :)

Matt from last year on the show, nice to see he's got some work finally since winning.

just sent a bit of soup flying there!   rotflmfao

your selection post is now good, but in light of the admission that you've not read the rules properly your card is now marked and we will be keeping a close eye on you throughout this competition.  I don't think it's going to be long before that picture surfaces on the thread one way or another.

Here we go... BOL all

Bit harsh picking out those to keep, just give a name IMO.  Do like Louis pretending it's a hard decision before saving names with total happiness on his face.

OK obv ones out of the way.

Wonder if Tulisa will make another group from the evicted four

rigged

Habibis for the clean sweep!

Has she got rid of the only "group" who were a group at auditions?

yup just rejects left

Awful decision

She was never any good

She had a better chance than Sophie

Am I right in thinking that the three remaining groups have all been created on the show at boot camp etc.

So all the members of the general public who have gone along to audition as groups have been eliminated from the process prior to any public phone vote. The message is that if you want to get together with your friends and sing then erm, don't. Groups of actual friends can't possibly work, we'll mix up some pretty black boys/girls and pretty white boys/girls and we'll watch them pretend that they're all best buds.

Bullshit, justice for 2 shoes. Justice for Essex.

sigh, only got my own category wrong. bizarre selection, there's really nothing new or interesting about nu vibe

So, after the first set of points have been totted up on this year's super fun game almost everyone has come away with 3/4 correct guesses for 1.5 points.  Everyone, that is, except Simon "Simon Galloway" Galloway who scored a clean sweep and takes the early lead with a perfect 2 points, and Thomas thetank, with 1 point for two correct guesses. He said he doesn't like to follow the pack, but I'm afraid that's exactly what he'll be doing going into next week.

Current leaderboard:

Simon Galloway 2
Claw75 1.5
gatso 1.5
George2Loose 1.5
josedinho 1.5
Laxie 1.5
redsimon 1.5
silo graham 1.5
TRIP5 1.5

congratulations to simon 'simon galloway' galloway. a superb opening week

let's not forget tighty who has nul points due to his sulking/hissy fit. still plenty of time for him to catch up, same for any newcomers, join in the super fun

and sov doesn't seem to have too many points either

Oh yes.  I'll add tighty onto the scoreboard. 

I believe sov has decided not to partake this year to retain total impartiality as gamesmaster.  the man is a true martyr to the super fun game.

! Sadly have not seen it yet, so no idea what is what

Yup groups should be renamed to "the reject section"

shoulda just copied everyone else

omg tulisa - you'd better delete that comment before simon sees it or you'll be for the chop and tighty cole will be back in!

Jokes are permitted... ;)

Janet devlin is overrated!

Amelia Lilly will sell more records than any of the other 2011 x factor girls in the next 3 years!

So like 12?

Depends tho- if there's a female winner they max out at Xmas

I just don't think they are strong enough this year! They are all on the same level was the problem

Visiting the X factor house shortly - taking bribes if you want me to knobble anyone.......???

Please! The word is "nobble". Or I assume that was the meaning.

Trace - pleeeeease get a picture of one or more contestants holding up a sign saying 'i <3 sovietsong's super fun x factor evuction game'. Deffo bonus point material

With that spelling? Lol. I might try but they are pretty closely monitored......except in my room ;-)

Kitty be getting all the hate. If you could find a way to be getting her a little love to balance things out that would be well good.

Regards

29yr old male

Can you send kitty my love too 41 year old SINGLE male

trip report please!

Someone please remind me to spill the beans once the dust has settled after it's all over. No cameras allowed into the house but the stories are already coming out thick and fast. So desperate to spill.

I'm pretty trustworthy and probably wouldnt tell claw75.

:-X

I'm pretty sure you're allowed to mention a few, Simon called me earlier and said it was ok.

meh.  deffo don't bother telling him then imo
