FLASH VOTE LINES CLOSED:

Lauren Platt - 10,200
Ben Haenow - 4,200
Andrea Faustini - 1,900
Only The Young - 1,800
Fleur East - 1,700
Stevi Ritchie - 1,300
Stereo Kicks - 1,000

They've done it oddly this time. They've uploaded 4 pics of each act and took a while to upload the latter 5 performers after the first 2. So don't think the likes will be very accurate for tonight's flash vote.

    Lauren at 6,000 likes ahead doesn't seem right.

    She was up for 25 minutes before everyone else. I checked to see when they were uploaded and Bens took ages to go up - as did OTY and Andrea.

    I thought she was good, it just seems odd that she's sitting at 10,000 when Ben is at 4,000.

    I really don't know how to record the data for this one tbh... it just seems all over the place. Lauren was uploaded straight away and then there was a gap between her and Ben, then almost a 30-min gap between Ben and the following acts!

    Also, they've uploaded 4 photos of each act instead of just the usual 1, and most of the photos have nothing to do with the performance (e.g. Lauren hugging her brother backstage, Ben driving a van, Only The Young eating sweets, Andrea in rehearsals with Brian Freeman, the back of Fleur's head whilst hugging her first singing teacher - her face isn;t even visible!, Stevi hugging Coleen Nolan, Stereo Kicks at an ice rink with names on their shirts).

    And then XF have randomly uploaded some individual photos of 2 or 3 acts too - which actually have more likes than the one they uploaded with 4 photos!). For example, Fleur's picture with her mum and sister off-stage after her performance has more likes than her '4 pics upload', and SK's little design thing with their nicknames on has less likes than their '4 pics upload').

    So how do you think I should go about this? Should I just note down each acts highest amount of likes, or stick to the '4 pics' thing which will probably make the data less reliable in terms of voting patterns?

    The reason they are playing around with the FB uploads could be an indication that FB likes from previous weeks was a little too accurate in predicting the outcome.

    I will just use the upload with the most likes for that act. Will put a * next to their name if the data taken is from an individual photo and not a 4-pics upload.

    Lauren Platt - 12,900
    Ben Haenow - 4,900
    Stereo Kicks - 4,900
    Fleur East - 3,400*
    Stevi Ritchie - 2,800
    Andrea Faustini - 2,500
    Only The Young - 2,400

    But I don't think there will be. It's down to judges so it's safe to say Stevie is gone.

    How was Ben ever going to be the shock?
    Supposed hot guy sings Whitney's I Will Always Love You to the 34-60 year old female demographic who make up the largest voting demographic.

    In the meantime we see Andrea have another "he's so Italian" VT, while stuffing his face with more food and gurning at the camera. Hardly a vote winner.
