If you look at the bookies odds, it seems to have been virtually decided already. I just wondered what you experts on the BGT forum threads thought..are Spelbound as near as you can get to certainties ?
I ask because there are attractive odds for any of the other acts, The bookies are even giving odds WITHOUT Spelbound..in other words, asuming they have won.

I would like to see Twist and Pulse win it as well, but they don't have the mass appeal of someone cute, old or with a dog.
Susan had some real competition though. I would have been happy if any of Flawless, Stavros, Susan or Diversity won, I was that entertained by all of them.
If Paul (and possibly T&C) had been in last year's line-up then I think he would have had an equal chance too, but for me Spelbound take talent to a different level than all the other named entertainers. I can't see anyone else getting close to beating them.
Having watched all week, I think it's now out of five..Spelbound, Tina and Chandi, Kieran Gaffney, Paul Burling and Twist and Pulse. I'm discounting Janey Cutler, I don't think her public vote will hold up on the night,
I think Spelbound will have the most mass appeal and they could possibly go back to their original routine without losing support. Paul Burling has been doing his act for a long time, so he should have enough fresh material. Twist and Pulse are a likeable pair, but can they come up with something fresh for the final ? Same really applies to Kieran and Tina.
On balance, Spelbound are worthy favourites but I wouldn't put money on them at the current odd..10/11 on with most bookies!
I find it funny that on oddschecker, the top seven odds for the possible final two include Spelbound and another act - Janey, Paul, Tina & Chandi, Kieran, Twist & Pulse, Connected and Liam Mcnally.
The first final 2 bet that doesn't include Spelbound is Paul Burling/Janey Cutler, along with Paul/Tina & Chandi, and even Spelbound/Tobias Mead has the same odds of 18/1.
I'd much rather they won than Connected, Tobias, Janey, Liam, Kieran or Chris though.
:eek: Why?
Paul Potts is an internationally renowned singer, performing all over the world and selling millions of albums. He's also now quite a wealthy man.
Diversity have appeared all over the country in some place or another and are still very much 'famous'. Ashley Banjo is even carving out a career in TV for himself.
Even George Sampson, although maybe not doing as much singing in the rain as before, has made a nice little earner appearing in the Streetdance film and will be joining Waterloo Road next series...
