How long will Dermot leave the tension to announce this year's winner?

According to Scott Mills on Radio 1 it took 22 seconds from Dermot saying 'the winner of the X Factor is'... and 'Joe'!

    Agres no doubt.. but that's not his fault. I'm sure he's told to pad out the tension as long as possible. Bloody annoying though!

    I'm going to say 30 seconds. Dermot probably doesn't want to hear Wand Erection wail the winners song, so will try and fill that space.

    Ha, we should keep this thread pinned. I'm going to say: 19 seconds.

    It doesn't matter.

    Everyone who has been eliminated this year have stood on the right of the TV screen.

    Even Cher last night when normally Danni and her acts stand that side.

    So just see who is standing that side and you know who ever is on the left is the winner.

    That would be hilarious, imagine if Dermott announced wrongly that One Direction had won and Simon being dead smug like this: :D

    Then Dermott announces he got it wrong and it was actually Matt that had won, Simons face would be like this: :eek:

    It would be a case of you're fired Dermott and pick up ur cards on the way out! :D:D

    I think Dermott will drag out the announcement for approx 40secs ;)

    For as long as it takes for the producers to give him the winner in his ear. It's not Dermot who takes the time.

    Have you also noticed that Dermott has increased the gap between the 'and' and whatever comes before. Sometimes you get a few seconds between the 'and the last act definitely through to next week' and 'is'...

    So I'm going to predict

    "The winner of the XFactor 2010" (5.7 second pause) "is" (then another 27.9 second pause)....

    He just says "IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    And waits for the producer to tell him in his earpiece. Anyone thinking that anything is actually written on those cards is wrong.

    Producer: "It's Char!!! Simon just told us!"

    When you can see his beard starting to grow, you'll know he's ready to say it.

    Isn't current fashion to say: "And the winner is......... we'll find out after the break...".
    He could do that and then come back on air, faff around with an envelope, pause 45 seconds and then say it. Total wait time of 5 mins!

    Just remembered that Australian Top Model debacle... be very satisfying to see Dermy being inadvertently fed/announcing the wrong winner (especially if he'd given it the full dramatic pause nonsense)!

    Long enough for Katie to sing Etta James' entire back catalogue while dressed as a SMASH potato alien.

    Seventeen seconds, what I want.
    Three milleniums, what I predict.

    More like: "And the winner is...... to be revealed after the break"

    And then rush to the break-time emergency meeting with Simon.

    After the break: "And the winner is...... going to be decided by the sing off that we have had planned since October 1893 and it's going to include Char!"
