    They will make it whether they end up going home tomorrow or on week 6 or 7. I'm not worried about that.

    I just want the show to let them show who they really are, like they are on Youtube, at least once. Maybe a Sing-Off, without the ridiculous production and backing track, can be their moment.

    Yeah, I thought that about a sing off. A song they've chosen and everything, to a certain point. And they're wouldn't be that massive backing track and production. I think it would definitely show who they are properly.

    I think they struggle because of the crappy theme weeks on X Factor.

    They've been established a while and you can tell as they sound great together. There is a place for a group like this as they're not a girl or a boy band.

    I hate theme weeks - the song choices are so bad. Please ditch this format and let them all sing what they want - the whole point is showcasing what they do best.

    Or it should be.

    blaming the themes is a real cop out tbh

    everyone was raving about their song choice for this week before the show , so cant blame the theme for them just performing it poorly

    not looking good for them with the bookies

    their odds have really shortened

    Like someone said, the odds were rating them very low the entire week, so maybe they had information we don't.

    I still might take a gamble on them to end up staying for longer than Simon's octo-band.
    If they get in a fair Sing-Off they will make it work and they will bounce to stay two or three weeks more.

    they were sitting around 10-1 for elimination all week , they are in to 3-1 or 4-1 now

    Not my favourites but we need a bit of variation and so I hope they stay in for a little longer.

    I'm afraid on the evidence so far that they're not very good at singing though. They rivalled Jake for sheer wanton out-of-tuneness.

    Let's face it Louis isn't doing a great job in choosing their songs each week. I think Louis is out of his depth with this group and the 8 lads.

    Agreed. They're coming across as quite obnoxious to me.

    I think so too. On Xtra Factor they were asked why they were nervous and the brunette said something like "because singing a modern song just isn't our thing" with this weird look on her face. I found that such a ridiculous thing to say.

    They need to let the boys sing solo. The Quiff boy sung awesome in week 1

    I agree to be honest. I adored the song choice on paper, they didn't do well with it though. :(

    I do hope so. For me, they are just awful on every level. Dull, unoriginal, unattractive, forced, unlikeable... just a few of the words that come to mind. I guess it's the 'Glee factor' that makes them popular? They should just stick to Butlins and pantomime stuff, really.

    Agree that they are dated - and they try too hard to demonstrate their rapport with each other etc. Leave me cold.

    Yep, there's something about them that screams 'We're above all this'. Every week it seems they're moaning about their song choice. Well if they think they're above XF then I have no idea why they applied.

    I didn't think their performance was nearly as bad as some of you did, outside of a wobbly opening verse. If you don't start strong, most people's minds are made up very quickly.

    You do understand this is television, right? Whether or not you believe the show is scripted, what happens in the VTs definitely is, since they don't have cameras on them 24/7.

    Yes, I understand this is television, right!

    Regardless of whether I believe the show is scripted or not, they are still on camera saying these things. As I said before, it's not doing them any favours.

    The performance wasn't good. Simon is right that they 2 girls were out of tune. I do hope they stay though as group goes, they ain't that bad...

    This, also see them a bit 'steps' like, when to begin with I am sure the judges described them as cool and edgy, which is not the direction they seem to going in now.

    I think there are worse on the show so they probably won't go this week

    I am concerned with the running order and the negative response. Surely simon realises they are one of only 3 acts who he could market after the show.

    Who do you think the other two acts are that Simon could market?
