    There is no way that Sam B will exit before either of those 2. Hannah just ain't good enough and Tamera is not consumer friendly. I would be willing to bet that neither of these 2 will make the final week.

    I think that might have been the plan in week 2 when they put her out first with bad staging and gave her negative comments, but as neither Tamera or Hannah have a chance of winning they'll pimp her for the win just to stop Nicholas.

    No-one is going to 'shift' allegiance. If Sam goes - game over.

    After last year's sausagefest, I have a feeling that the producers will do everything they can to get a girl across the line. As Sam B doesn't appear to be as marketable as Tamera or Hannah, I have a feeling that she will be thrown under the bus very soon and eliminated. Then, the bulk of her fanbase will shift to Tamera/Hannah, and once one of them get eliminated, the other one will win.

    Thoughts?

    If Sam B does go, I don't believe that Hannah or Tamera will benefit. It is more likely that the shows viewing figures will nosedive and yet more questions will be raised about its future.

    Fan base? You mean people voting for her surely! If Sam goes then why would you assume that everyone would switch to Tamera or Hannah. Personally I can't stand either of those two. Hannah is like listening to a cracked Tuba played through a 10.000 watt PA and Tamara is trying to be Beyoncé.

    I can't see her not making the final tbh she's a great singer that being said I don't think she should win as I don't think she will be managed well if she wins

    Yeah I wouldn't vote for Hannah or Tamera if Sam went out. It would probably be Sam C or Nicholas whoever is left. But More likely I'd just stop watching since Sam B is the only one I really switch on for.

    I think that Sam is getting a bit ahead of herself by say she is where she belongs. If that was the case then she would have been a star years ago. Could well drop out before the final i reckon.

    I think she is just expressing self-confidence on he the stage which will only enhance her performances in future. I don't think she is acting arrogantly. At least, that's not how I perceive her.

    There hasn't really been a shock exit yet, so maybe one of the favourites, Tamera, Sam B, or Nicholas could be a shock exit? Imagine the judges having a meltdown, if one of these three became a shock exit:eek:

    Tamera wouldn't be a shock exit. Most of the public despise her and she's been in the bottom two early on in the competition so, no. She wouldn't be a shock exit.

    Nicholas or Sam Bailey would be. I can see Nicholas getting the boot, to be honest.

    I think this series has been quite unpredictable, which makes it more exciting. I did predict a Nicholas/Sam B and Rough Copy final three, but the way this series is going, anyone can get to the top three, apart from Hannah in my opinion. Imagine if Nicholas was the first boy to leave:eek:

    There's no way they're going to sabotage Sam B, they've been pimping hard for her - the themes are have been pretty much designed around her so far.

    That would be a game-changer. :eek: If that happens then a Sam B, Luke & Rough Copy final is likely to happen.

    Though I'd replace Rough Copy with Tamera, personally. :)

    Pretty sure Disco week was not designed for Sam B.

    I'd say its more likely that her fanbase will shift to Nicholas, when you think who her likely fanbase is.

    X Factor voters only tend to support one female each year and once they're eliminated, they don't bother transferring votes. As far as Hannah and Tamera are concerned, its just a matter of when they're eliminated rather than if.

    Do you not think Tamera will make it to the semi finals/finals then? Tamera could still fit a shock exit. Yes, she has been in the bottom two, so she wouldn't be a shock in this sense. However, she is high in the winner betting odds. Sam C and Hannah wouldn't be shocks, considering they are low in the winner betting odds. I still do not know who will be the shock exit out of Sam B, Nicholas, or Tamera, but it will be exciting to find out.:D I wonder if Rough Copy could fit a shock exit? The group seems to be in the middle of the winner odds, so maybe this could be a shock?

    If you're in the bottom 2 quite early on then its very difficult to recover and Tamera has a lot going against her. If there is a shock exit, I expect it will be between Nicholas, Luke (who is being set up as a dark horse) and Rough Copy.

    Sam Bailey will win this thing no bother. She will blow her competition(such as it is) off the stage on Finals night. No-one else on the show can take a song and inhabit it the way she can.

    She really is a marvellous singer.

    She really is the most awful bore who will soon be seen on a cruise ship off the Azores.

    Well it certainly wasn't designed for anyone else in the competition.

    Really? Everyone was expected to do better than her at Disco week other than Abi. Sam B is a big ballad singer, they usually struggle with the up tempo songs.

    She's a big belter with a penchant for showboating. She's perfect for disco.

    I vote for Sam B, if she was to leave I would no longer vote as no other contestant has impressed me that much.

    Although Sam B has delivered almost every time (week 2 was her worst IMO), it wouldn't be surprising if there was a shock exit in week 8 or 9 and Sam B exits the competition - highly unlikely it will happen because she is more or less certain to be in the final 3. The shock might actually be Nicholas
