Have the categories already been decided? It's normally around 3/1 each of four for the winning manager.

http://www.oddschecker.com/tv/x-factor/winning-manager

I only realised it had started when I heard it blaring out from the living room just now.

I see the Powers started the fave at 16s earlier and have now suspended the market...

Favourite was always getting backed at those prices. Paddy Power really shouldn't touch novelty markets. Zero research. Not that anyone can ever get on anyway.

http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/x-factor/x-factor-2013-performance-night-comes-prison-officer-sam-bailey-video/

Just watched some vids of her on Youtube and she's very good, can't see her winning though. Only takes a couple of her pals flicking a few tenners about to shorten it up, and she will be favourite until another hyped up audition.

On Alan Carr last night Mrs O was saying Louis has the boys this year. I think she meant category

Bailey woman won't win, not a chance

Personally thought that young guy with the guitar before her was the performance of the night.

yeah not a chance i liked her performance but we have had better female singers over 30 that make it too the finals and go very quick
personally i would love to hear alot more from her but think chances of her winning are more like 50-1 than 16-1


i dont think he was as good as sam but loved his song and would buy that as a single
and i havent bought a single or album in about 5 years
but he has a better chance of winning but dont know if he will make finals


ok now time too watch tonight shows

just watching tonights shows i think ale and tamera will both end up in groups before judges houses

This is the winner isn't it?

Amazing potential

Behavy Tighty, it's not April 1st!

I had small bet at 10s with Paddy on Saturday night and have just moved the market and had last 8s with SJ - it didnt take bundles.   She wil improve like a good filly - no doubt if thats her first time in front of more than 40 people and how she reacted when she got in the zone.  Looks great - she is beautiful although only 16, right profile, big voice and tons of appeal.  She may not win but unless she f***s up big style will be much shorter than 10/1 8/1 when live shows start

Absolutely no way - she is far to talented to be in a group and they know that

She will miss out at judges houses! Only Nicole would take her thru

What price Guy?  Ill have a friendly bet with you.  Shed have to mess up incredibly - its all about selling records and the girl has bag loads of potential - its why the Prison Officer will never win. I will take 10/11 she makes live TV shows. 

Seems a bit too similar to previous winners.

Wasn't impressed. Found her really annoying too.

well you better strat liking or start winning ha ha ha - shes one of a few outs we have pmsl

£50 but no bet if Nicole is the judge

Not being funny, but I've heard better singing upstairs in the Imperial Palace!

I'm still not sure if you and Tighty are on some kind of windup here Shaun...

The screw is much better than she is, but obviously this girl has the image etc.

Ironic that they jogged her mate on with 'shouting' one of the reasons, and that Tamera was giving it some big licks herself!

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHfNkfXsXGc

Who said its about singing? Come on guy...got to have Nicole. Dreenies offering me 8s on Facebook lol

Even money no Nicole. You suggested a bet on the point I had already made ;o)

she needs someone with her for nerves just now its either a girl group or she will miss out on the lives and come back in a cpl of years

The screw can't win - fact. If she makes it through will be a lock for 6th to 3rd.

It's about her profile; she'll get better - has huge presence, and will win votes left right and centre. Her profile is spot on - over 25 can't win, groups need to be exceptional or poor. Unless she crashes at judges houses - they wil send put her through as its about selling records. Hear Rhianna sing early in her career?

Off to bed....Dreenie geckos I've been on the crack pipe

Being able to sing mostly in key should surely be a prerequisite?

First thing I said was she couldn't win, and Dreenie isn't alone ;D

Im not great with betting stuff and not sure of protocol, so just for absolute clarity, this didn't get booked.

fwiw I didn't want to bet but was just prepared to back my judgement on this one

She's rocking the illuminati ear rings maybe she is trying to enter the group.....

James Arthur was biggest @ 22-1 just after the boot camp shows/just before the live line-up was announced, so wouldn't be backing anyone just yet. Very very early.

Not at all, thought she really had something. the voice can be coached, but the presence and stagecraft was great

Reminded me of Rihanna

Two I've had a small interest on at this early stage are; Luke Friend @ 25s and Lydia Lucy @ 50s.

Can see them both doing really well and Lucy can only get better as time goes on and she progresses.

Really hard going off just these auditions, and I almost fell off my chair when I saw that there are 5 people < 10/1 before bootcamp!

That said, I'd sooner be on the boy McDonald at 7/1 than Claypole and Tighty's beau Tamera ;)

I might chuck a score at Next of Kin and Rough Copy if I bother at all...

I think we need your mum to pipe up before we bet mate!

Can't take it any more tbh, but will force myself to watch boot camp. In the name of value.

Ha, she picks every winner of every reality contest... Well, she does once it's over  ;bigadz;

I was at DtD last night - however hear she nailed her vocals.

3/1 - on at 10s and 8s - clearly me and Tighty got that completely wrong

The Fodds brigade are taking the piss big time here.

Come the end of the weekend we're still only going to be down to the final 24. Yet, at the shortest prices on offer...

3 Tamera
9/2 Melanie
5 Annoying Abi Alton
6 Nicholas Mc
6 Sam Bailey
7 Hannah

We have 100% exactly being taken out of the book. And that's for just a quarter of the field! Even at best prices that sextet it's 76%, which is a joke.

FWIW I get the feeling Tamera is gonna prove to be a bit of a bitch, while Abi is a complete no-channer for me. Hannah the pick of the girls for me but anyone backing at current prices is nuts.

When she wins I'll admit you got it right son ;)

Offers 6.5/1 max bet 50 on abi

7/1 ,ax bet 50 on Sam

Was Tamera the Whitney singer that stared daggers during the "get off that chair" process?

If so, yea...she a biatch!

Agree 100%.

Tamara waaaaaaay too short at mo.

Think Paul Akister@16's could be value, but don't know for sure that he'll get through either tonight or to the live shows yet.

Have a feeling they will again make up a band full of rejects again this year* and would not want to take too strong a position until knowing the full live show line up.

*Have been some strange decisions made with ppl I expected to go through.

Surely he can only be value if you are convinced he will get through tonite and final three and go close.

If you aren't even sure he will get through tonite he cant be value......unless I am missing the concept?


Agree about the bands, pretty sure NS even made a reference to it before she bumped someone.

I felt like they wouldn't make a band just purely because of the process of the competition this year.


However they are setting it up so the bands are last so perhaps.

Female wise you have

- Stephanie
- Lydia
- Karen


Seems a little weak.

Lets see what the guys bring later

Read between the lines, of course I THINK he'll get through both rounds.

However, as I don't KNOW this I can't really weigh in too heavy. Too much punting.

Having said that I think it's in the price, he makes the live shows I think he's a single fig price.

Just a smidge of value and he's much shorter elsewhere but i'll be having a very small bet on this.

There are a few others I could think of too, not just females.

I awlays liked a bitch...it's my weak spot

Will also do a best priced 4/1 on tamera.

Same here re: Paul Akister. Put his youtube on TfT earlier in the week but just worry he might be to one-dimensional. Market won't be playable until the final 12 is known imo.

One of Melanie, Tamera, Abi and Hannah aren't going to make the final 12. Reckon Melanie could be the casualty tbh. Can they really have someone having a third crack at it winning a series when the general consensus is that there's no untapped talent left out there?

whos going to vote for him though?

you need 12 weeks of voting power.

Christopher Maloney got the most votes 7 weeks running, purely because he was singing old songs and grannies liked him.

Think this guy would appeal to a wider demographic and prove very popular.

what are peoples views on kingsland

5 boys attractive too the girls

and they aint the worst singers in the comp

15.0 looks big too me

Kingsland are great but they don't sing the right songs ATM. The producers will help them with that meaning whatever pricetheymare with bookies ATM they are a good price.

Ver 35s re meh.

Joseph whelan showed his real colors today, really don't like him and voice was bad yesterday, suggest lay.

Liking the overs.

Boys, not a chance, he sent the best lad home, the Spanish kiddie.

Groups equally bad, I thought.

not all my favourites but who i think the judges will pick

finalist
overs
sam bailey  (possible winner)
joe whelan
lorna simpson

boys
neil macdonald (possible winner)
paul akinster
sam callahan

girls (all possible winners)
abi alton
melaine mccabe (finally)
hannah barret

groups 
kingsland (possible deep run)
the 3 girls formed last night
brick city or rough copy

Not a fan of all this seat nonsense, either get them in or jog them on!

Most of these people are fragile enough already, without the  'in you go, actually no off you go' happening.

If you think the UK version is  bad though, the US is ridiculous!

Kelly Rowland had 10 acts and 4 seats, she gave the first 4 to perform seats :D

fml i have noticed that tamera is favourite too win on oddschecker i am not a huge fan of hers i dont think she will handle the pressure yet but i imagine she has too sale through judges houses too still be favourite no idea which girl is going too miss out seems too me as if the 3 i predicted all deserve a place it would break mel if she misses again so close

Don't worry Iron, they get shipped out all the time!

Wasn't it last year the pre live shows favourite  (Ella?) went after a month?

i havent put a bet on just thought i had got the final 12 nailed but i am guessing if i have missed tamera off the list and she is favourite too win then someone good is going too miss out tamera is good dont get me wrong just dont think its her time yet and not as good as neil or abi though i would be shocked if abi wins although she will have a very good career after x factor infact i want too buy her records al ready my style of depressing music

Booooom - safely through, short as 5/2 - 2/1 best.  Got some entertainment

You've got some value pie to eat anyway ;)

Hannah 10-1 > 6-1 tonight. I predict she'll be favourite by week three.

Best voice and, watching The Xtra Factor earlier, she's perfect for reality TV. X Factor-Celeb BB double coming, oi oi.

Had a small bet on Kingsland road at 15's.  My thinking is that the groups are the most successful outside of the X Factor (JLS, 1D, the other lot) but they never win with Louis in charge.  This year they've given them to Gary because they know the groups will be big.

Extreme market reactions tonight. Can understand the crash in Rough Copy's price, but Hannah has gone for a major walk out to 12-1. Tough spot going first and she did nothing wrong. Personality will carry her a long way.

Abi is this series' Diane Vickers, Sam Callahan cannot sing a note. Nick the weakest of the market leaders for me.

I sometimes wonder if I am listening to different stuff.

Agree with Chompy, but thought Tamara was moderate at best, Luke aweful, Shelly.....just lol.

Sad to say by thought semi pro talent contest winner, Sam Bailey nailed it, but may struggle when it gets a bit more modern.

Thought the combo of Lorna and Girl group as bottom two was big price. Thinking Lorna got great voice but starting to agree she may struggle to get votes sadly

My head asploded when he took that Sam through over Paul, he needs to be put in a band, so that his voice isn't heard...

I'm in trouble if Rough Copy win, my old dear asked me to bet on them for her at 14/1 and I forgot :D

And we all know ur Mum is Chompys guru in X factor!!

No wonder the price collapsed!

We should be uniting very very hard on kingsland IMO.

Girls votes are huge.

Sam Callahan isn't good enough

Luke friend doesn't fit that bracket

Nicholas is a little young/not hip

Rough copy a little,bit too old.

Gary really likes kingsland and will really put a lot ofmtimeminto them

Is Ellie Goulding, Celine Deon reincarnated?!!   Spooky

What a joke.... lets keep the social club singer over someone with talent.

Have a £500 last man standing bet with the Misses - hadn't checked the odds before placing.

I have Nicholas, Hannah and that boy band with the big hairdos.

She has Rough Copy, Tamera and Sam Bailey.

Looking at the odds feels like I've been done here?  Might declare a "Palp"!

I'm rooting for you Dung, I've got dough on 2 of your 3 :D

Just watched it back and think we were a bit optimistic backing her :D


Hadn't watched it all, so am actually pretty shocked that Nicole sent her home as the deciding vote!

Haven't seen it at all, but googled them both after BigAdz's post on TfT, backed one for first exit, the other for best over 25.  Need to Strictly and Splash I think.

We were in agreement, but after watching the first live show I felt we were cooked, however, I didn't envisage Lorna going first of those 2!

I shall stick to the horses and golf from now on mate ;) ;) ;)

Mine and Tightys girl is the best in a poor comp by an absolute country mile, despite dreenie and marky suggesting she "couldn't sing".....however I think her like ability and also I reckon impending news scandal make her a lay at 2.85 - 3.0.  Think is I don't think they break the marijuana and bullying story that early unless something juicier to come.... Can't eat value

Not sure that I said she couldn't sing, what I did say was that they gave her partner in crime grief for shouting, and she was doing exactly the same.

It was obvious she was getting a huge push with all the 'can i have a minute' and then jogging herself on to ask how the start of a song she obviously knew went.

However, she was immeasurably better at judge's houses, and the stylist did a good job taking the trowel she was using to put her makeup on away from her.

She's deffo a wrongun though, and I think you'd be wise to abandon ship now son ;)

She's such a wrong un that's why I sort of want to stay with her ha ha

Just ride the freeroll express mate

Worst xfactor I can remember in years.

Prolly gonna stop watching from now on but i've joined chomps on the hannah express.

8-1 seems perfectly fine seeing as she's one of the few that can sing while actually seeming a nice enough person.

Having Nicole as her Judge won't hurt either.

Have also backed Luke Friend ew at 33's, has the quirky factor and is too big compared to some of the other male acts.

I've also topped up on Luke @ 33s (e/w)

Just had my ten min flick through of last nite, for purely betting purposes, of course.

What a bunch of no hopers. So many flat or unable to hit the right pitch. Think you boys are right and Tamera looks a v worthy fav.

Really don't think Tamera is gonna be likeable enough to win. And all these drug stories etc ain't gonna help.

Missed it last night but Abi can't sing and Tamera is very high risk. Hannah's personality remains the clincher for me. No untapped talent left.

This is officially the worst series ever of X Factor, loads of dross. Can't even remember half of their names. Am aboard the Hannah express, not sure I can see her winning but I guess someone has to

I actually want Tamera to win, but only because I know Shaun has got a lot more dough on her her than I have on Hannah :D

I watch the US version and I know 'bigger country' bla bla bla, but it's just incredible how poor we are in comparison, and I don't think anyone from here would even make judge's houses!

I hope you bet on it Marky, or you have a problem my friend.

I've got plenty of problems, and watching shitty tv shows is way down the list ;D

Thoughts on Abi to go tonight at 7/2?

Just watching the show from last night now, and can only come to the conclusion the judges have scripted criticism...

Tamera - decent

Nick McD - decent

Rough Copy - rough as fuck

Sam Bailey - nowhere near as good as last week

Hannah - decent

Kingsland - average at best

Luke - meh

Abi - wtf was that about

Sam - back to the pumps son

Shelley - better hope they commission a remake of your show!

Shelley, Abi, Luke, Sam Callahan all utterly woeful. Four weeks before we get to anything resembling quality.

Just me or is it the biggest irony that the whole show is about finding the next big live artist, yet pretty much every Sunday the "world stars" mime!

So hypercritical it's not even funny

Think its very possible, especially after that horrible performance last night. Im not gonna put you off.

Is that when the new contestants are brought in?

I know it would make a lot of people on here pretty unhappy if it happened but Hannah next elim @ 300/1 surely worth £1.

Not sure if she will go through but thought the bottom 2 betting was v odd on Betfair. the obv options were shortish but any other combo was way short. Someone knew she not getting many votes

I watched both of them tonight, well I skipped through a fair bit and just listened to the songs/comments.

Is there some coup going on behind the scenes this year, so that the acts don't get mugged off too badly in public?

It's like they know everyone is pretty tez, so they're trying to convince themselves and the public that all the acts are deece :D

A couple of them are decent enough, but it's just embarrassing how weak this line up is...

Tamera is alright, but looking like Beyonce is about all she can hope for!

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ0t8apwEsY

Completely blows Tamera's performance away, not even close.

I love watching LA Reid listening to music.

Somehow this girl didn't make the top 16 but was then given a second chance and ended up winning. Funny ol' game

I know right, Scotty. Just a different gravy isn't she!

Yeah, love LA Reid!

This guy was quality too, love Simon's boat when he tells him what he's singing :D

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYDBEONiFcQ

Plenty more LA in there for you Jeff.

This Hannah that chompy is on, is it the bird that sang the emelie sande song? If so, just watched it, after dreenie put it on fb, and she is terrible.

I'm on her too, but the more I hear, the less I like.

I said yesterday that I think the judges all have instructions to talk up every act, because I can't for the life of me have any of the comments being given out!

That Sam is about the best, but she's not great, and that Tamera is just average imo, and the whole reason I couldn't understand Tighty and Claypole going nuts over her.

Cowell is supposedly back on the firm next year, but unless he's flying 100m people back with him, it's done and he might as well just stay over there.

I have a lot to thank this series for.

I was starting to act like an old man and stay in far too much on a Saturday night. After 2 weeks of this dross I got my mojo back.

It has to be pre determined what they say each week. Rough Copy were awful and missed every note yet you could almost see Nicole look to the side as she swallowed her words and said what a great performance that was. Luke getting better every week, wtf!

Tamera and sing Whitney or Beyonce every week and still win. At some point Screwbo will have to sing something not from the Nineties and will sound like the cabaret singer she is.

Sky plus ftw

Like tamera and Hannah just avg singers like the best girl at most schools

Hannah hasn't progressed at all from her auditions, in fact shiz gone backwards at a rate of knots.

Tamera is an effortless performer and the best of a bad bunch, but no likeability. I've stopped watching this series. Ladbrokes can have my Hannah ££, gl to them.

Stompy Chompy?

Luke @ 14s with boyles. Cant see past him making the final.

yesterdays man Chompy...alll aboard Tameera

Get laying son, before it all ends in tears ;)

Alas I fear you're right so have to get my money's worth out of the value

Without even watching the other performances im pretty sure i'll be having a bet on kingsland road getting the boot this week (price dependant obviously) cant see them picking up too many votes with that performance!

(also think sam Callahan and abi will handle the theme this week therefore they may be head to head in the bottom 2 vs someone much better).

haters gonna hate

Abi's back

Nicole off her face?

Think abi is huge to go tonight @ 11/2. Ok she had a half decent performance however if we look at the other acts who could possibly go:

Sam Callahan : By far the worst vocals in the competition, coupled with his terrible performance last night should make him a cert to go (in theory) - however will deffo get the girls votes and is actually quite a likeable guy therefore isn't nailed on (and in my opinion is quite unlikely) to get put into the bottom two - he hasn't even been there yet. IF he gets put into the bottom two vs Abi, the voting should go; Gary / Nicole = Abi. Louis / Sharron = Sam. Reckon Sam will squeeze through due to number of votes.

Kingsland Road : Again were pretty terrible last night and aren't the strongest vocally but again still pretty likeable. If they get into the sing off can see the voting going: Nicole = Abi. Gary / Sharron = Kingsland Rd. Unsure where Louis vote will go however we all know hes got a thing for boybands.

Hannah Barrett : Cracking performance this week after a not so shocking place in the bottom two last week. Should be safe however she crushes Abi vocally.

Rough Copy : The biggest contrast in artists in the xfactor this year IMO (RC and Abi) - can't see RC going anywhere as 'they've got the xfactor'...etc.

Luke Friend : Again crushes Abi vocally. Is much more likeable. Is a real performer. All round nice guy. I've got $ on him and im golden. Going nowhere.

Tamera : Has actually eased out slightly with the bookies. Not very likeable - however crushes Abi vocally and will get the nod from the judges if head to head. (Would not be surprised to see her put in bottom two though as I think her personality puts people off her a bit).

Nicholas : Actually wasn't great last night, however is basically this years version of Jahmene Douglas. He's going nowhere at all (not yet at least).

Sam Bailey : Into joint favourite in some spots with Tamera - shortly to be overtaking her in my opinion. Cracking performance last night everybody loves her. Basically booked her place in the final already.

-- Cliffs --

- Abi has a pretty dull personality.
- Abi isn't the best singer.
- If she gets put into the bottom two she isn't nailed on to get there with the only guy who has worse vocals than her due to the amount of votes he could potentially get from the girls + his likeable personality.
- If she gets put into the bottom two with the guy who has worse vocals - the votes are very likely to get split 2/2 - and if they do so I would make her a fairly big dog vs Sam due to number of votes he could potentially get from girls + his likeable personality.
- Her getting emotional a couple of weeks ago at Sharrons comments did her absolutely no favours.

Deece write up for a tough week. I think Abi's performance was better than half decent and I find her quite likeable but obv it's votes that decide. Also when Abi had a real bad week she was still fine.

Sam was terrible but will probs get the young girls votes and he seems to be pretty popular on twitter.

I'm not actually convinced Sharon would vote for Kingsland rd vs Abi either and i'm not sure what demographic will be voting for Hannah or Tamera.

I wouldn't be too shocked to see Kingsland rd and Hannah or Tamera in the bottom two. Gone for Kingsland rd and Hannah bottom 2 as both been there before @ 14/1

Wide open year, very average bunch and no idea who is gonna win...

Seen a lot of hate for Kingsland Road and the fact that there is no "Flash Vote", puts me more in favour of them being in the bottom two. No idea if it's worth a bet, not seen odds, but they would definitely be my pic, especially with them being on in the first few spots.

Tried oddschecker Aaron?

Abi is definitely due for the boot, given she can't sing and all. What a lol favourite she was at the start. I'm going in, oi oi!

I could try Oddschecker, Chomps, but I don't really have an interest in it from a betting point of view.

Also, Chompy, is there a betting market of who goes out of SCD when there is the dance off?

Well had a brief look at Oddschecker, Kingland Road are long odds on & so is Sam. It's weird also that Tamera is favourite to win the thing, but yet she is 4th favourite to be in the bottom two!

level?

so fkin rigged.

Not fussed who goes, but Tamera is so dull

Surely that tells you the PHONE voting aint rigged?


KR are gone for sure.....that bit is rigged.

lol

FFS, Annoying Abi avoided the boot again? Managed to get a whole pony on with Laddies too.

Tamera still 1/3 for top bird? That group has gone from looking super strong to super shite.

Cant see any way back for Hannah. Looked like a right yob when celebrating. Most unbecoming for a young lady.

Unfortunately.. Got trolled hard by Dermot too as she was in the last 3.. 'wait and see, after the break'. Fuck you Dermot!

ROFL

She's a teenager from saaarf london, so hardly likely to curtsy and thank the viewers.

Her reaction has to put her in the frame next week (although if she is bottom 2 and up against Abi or Sam she won't go), It would be a sharp lesson for her if she was in the bottom two, I'm still gobsmacked at her celebration, how she chose to be aggressive over humble (especially after her sad face routine when she was in the bottom two) makes me quite mad. Does she take the public for idiots?

Anyway, in other news I think this year is quite poor so have decided to sky + it so we can just hear the singing, managed to watch it in about 20 mins meaning we saved over an hour of our lives, the dog was most happy as he got an extra long walk.

I didn't realise anyone watched it any other way?

I just watch the adverts this year, takes longer tho' :D

Ha, you're not far wrong though!

Confirmed fanboy here, I watch the lot

Great one!! This is the way forward!!!

Think after last nights terrible showing only Nicholas and Sam B  are 100% safe.

If we assume Sam C gets the vote through again then n would not be surprised at all to be saying cya to Tamera.

She's just plain boring, and a little bit annoying in a 'whiny' sense. Her performances so far have not matched the alleged potential she's supposed to have and I don't think she'd make he cut over RC or Luke (who would be 99% to get Sharrons vote as she's let everybody know plenty of times of her soft spot for Luke as well as loving his voice). As for being up against Hannah, think Hannah will get the vote due to judges becoming pretty bored of tameras 'Luke warm'  'passionless' performances.

12/1 with bet365 for Tamera next elim looks good.

According to oddschecker, Skybets each way terms are 1/4 odds on 3 places with only 7 acts remaining (3 other firms offering each way are top 2 1/3). They are also best price on; Luke @ 20s / Rough Copy @ 8s / Sam C @ 66s.

As im a total novice I've no idea, but is there any way to take advantage of this?

this is the digital spy poll i think sam c has ran his course

Tamera Foster    11.88%
Hannah Barrett    6.31%
Sam Callahan    5.08%
Luke Friend    9.95%
Nicholas McDonald   20.68%
Rough Copy     10.08%
Sam Bailey    36.03%

I never went that much on her from the start, and she was howling away like her mate they ripped apart in the first audition.

She looks the part, but I've seen better karaoke at the IP in Vegas (RIP

I'm hoping that Shaun and Tighty got off when I was digging them out about the wheels coming off.

unfortunately no e/w offered on clicking through

Ahh my mistake

As for Tamera, I actually quite like her voice. Its just her attitude and personality which lets her down, as well as her effortless performances (effortlessness is usually pretty good but I this case it just makes her seem dull and like shes giving nothing at all), would much rather watch Sam B who puts a hell of alot into her songs, sing over tamera.

SkyBet stand out 5/2 bottom 2 for Tamera. I'm in.

Good game Sam, you had a good run son!

I almost punted the 12/1 youthnkzR put up with a free bet I have, but fancied they would save her if she was there.

Bit of luck she'll get jogged soon enough though...

I know nothing about this show, never watched it.
But a guy I work with, his niece works on the show and she says that Hannah is going to scoop the lot. It's all a fix and predetermined. She says that yes, the fav Sam  is the best but is too old, doesn't fit the demographic. This Hannah one has the potential to be a star.
As I said, I've never seen it and couldn't tell you who these contestants were if I walked past them in the street so probably nonsense 'a friend of a friend says......' but at 50/1, I'm on for a giggle.

Can't see it myself, but I hope you're right, and Chompy will be ecstatic to hear this ;D

wtf happened to tamera?!

What has she done this time?

Actually, don't worry, I am guessing she has just messed up again.

She missed lots of the lyrics out early on. Should be in bottom two.

Thought Hannah murdered "hallelujah". In fact, thought it was only Sam who did well.

I'm getting bored this year. No characters or standout singers

Think this year has highlighted u need a novelty act be in wagner, chico or rylan

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeg

'You got most of them right'

:D

Rough Copy and Luke Friend were the only ones to sing well last night.

Rest were boring. Was really disappointed in Nicholas and Sam, they were both terrible in comparison to how they've sang all competition (wrong song choice for both imo).

Hannah and Tamera should be bottom two, would be very surprised if it was anyone else.

Well in comparison to what, the local karaoke?

;D

They're all pretty poor, bar Sam, and even she isn't great...

Shame Cowell isn't on the panel this year, would have been funny to see his reaction to Tamera's performance!

Same standard bar a couple unfortunately!

I can honestly say there were people singing at the IP in Vegas who were better than any of them!

Hope Hannah doesn't murder hallelujah again

Watched it on S+

What a joke.

Hannah totally outsung those bendy muppets, even the Mrs who likes them said it was painful listening to them.

Obv they were chucking her out regardless judging by judges all standing after her song and Nicole knew.

And what the F is Mrs O on there for, she adds nothing at all.

Abandoning the Novelty train.

And

Solid  2c

LOL @ 'murder'

There was plenty of mudering going on last night, but she wasn't doing any of it ;)

Lol, well that was a waste of a tenner!
The guy I work with was balls deep, he was even trying to buy my tenners worth coz I got 50/1 and all he had was varying amounts from 20/1- 40/1.

Rough Copy next elim @ 9/2 looks huge

Haven't looked, but I'm guessing they're a flip now?


I think you're looking good to get weighed in on the place part with Luke, mate.

No idea how, but they're really pushing him and I think he's nailed on for the final.

Weirdly before last weks show Luke was the outsider, now he is the second favourite.

You've got to be worried about Rough Copy being on last though, they always put people on last if they want them to pick up votes or it's an 'explosive' finish to the show, which from what I can remember, it wasn't? It will be a tough sing off for sure whoever is on, as there isn't much between them, well apart from Sam Bailey, who seems far, far better.

Just had a quick flick on oddschecker, RC / Tamera both 7/4 at best and Nicholas 3/1best for next elim with luke 9/1 and Sam 30s. Would be surprised if RC aren't in the bottom 2 but stranger things have happened I suppose. Think Nicholas had an absolute mare last night as well, if the acts we're bottom 2 / eliminated based on last nights performance alone then think Nicholas would be a lot shorter but think he probably has a fairly big fan base as for a fairly average / boring singer (in my opinion) he's been breezing through.

Hopefully Luke's managed to lock himself a spot in the final after last nights performances but again stranger things have happened although as you say they do seem to be pushing him - let's hope he carries on delivering!

As I've said from the start, I think they're all under instruction to go easy on the acts this year. The level of talent has steadily gotten worse, with this year being the worst ever, and obviously expecting the public to just lap it up. I think they're all very average, and not one of the acts is 'shamazing' as Nicole seems to keep saying.

I think Luke is shit too, but for whatever reason they're pushing him hard, and it wouldn't surprise me if the public fell for it.

I know you're on at 33/1, so even though I think he's shit I hope he wins :D

Meh Nicholas is class. Lil Jock Buble.

Haha cheers mate. But yeah the standard has been dreadful compared to last years.

Wow. just heard the brief run thro of the songs....they get worse each week.

Only one in RC can sing, cant see them lasting but that said they were dreadful last week and they survived.

Wish Mrs O had more to offer than "you need to own the stage"

Well done mate, hope you get the lot next weekend now!

I love an outsider myself, but I couldn't have him for a second, and still can't :D

That said, he should have made the final anyway at the expense of the Nicholas McHorrible...

Cheers mate :). Didn't actually see Saturdays show but the girlfriend told me Nicholas messed up a fair bit.

As for last night, I personally think Luke actually bottled the sing off quite a bit so thank god Sharron loves him! Until last nights performance I thought Luke was one of the best contestants I've ever seen on the xfactor, think hes got a really unique style and I love it myself. Can understand what your saying about not having him in the final though - has been in the singoff and taken to deadlock twice vs two people who have never even been to sing off. Think hes a pretty huge dog however with Nicholas' declining performances at the minute and Sam doing similar to Ella Henderson (becoming quite arrogant when realising people like her - although this has happened a lot later in the show and not as obvious as it was with Ella) - going off a couple of clips I caught from Xtra Factor (in before rofl xtra factor :D, im forced to watch it!) Luke might still have a slight chance - Not holding my breath though!  

considering tameras odds at the start of the live shows she didnt even get close
and could of gone out before getting a place on the tour
