Brilliant opening to the thread Zack.

Looking forward to seeing how everything plays out this weekend.

After looking at the song choices I am looking forward to Abi,Rough Copy,Luke and Shelly.

I'm expecting Sunday's figures will be strong given the guest lineup.

I think Rough Copy could be ones to watch. They seem to be building in popularity, but not quite the front-runners which is a common trait among quite a few previous winners.

elasticlove · 19/10/13 - 05:10

These threads are being posted earlier and earlier! :eek:

What happened to Haasaan? I saw he was banned.

I mentioned Rough Copy being the dark horse act just after the judges houses. They seem to have the build that a winning act usually has popular but not the front runner.

I quite like Miss Dynamix but not as much as Rough Copy, I think the pregnancy could hold Miss Dynamix back.

I didn't really see them until the first live show where they impressed me. Of course everything could change within a few weeks as is the nature of the show, but they seem to have a strong following.

I thought Miss Dynamix had potential, but since the pregnancy announcement, I can't see them lasting very long. I think the producers will pull the strings to get them out of the way.

This week will probably be Shelley's or Miss Dynamix's last night as neither of them cannot last very much longer.

Miss Dynamix will be out i'm about 80% sure of it, one of them is pregnant so they definitely will be wanting them out well before the tour!

Shelly will be safe with the rebound vote and after a bit of vote begging from Sharon.

[Deleted User] · 19/10/13 - 06:08

Shelley might get through on the hilarity factor...I can't see them kicking Miss Dyanmix off as they've (producers) given them loads of pimping throughout

earldbest · 19/10/13 - 08:40

How does betting on the first act announced safe work? :eek:

JustArun · 19/10/13 - 12:18

Great thread Zack!

I don't think Shelley will be get the rebound vote. It's a flash vote, there won't be enough time to gather rebound voted in 10 minutes. I can only really see Shelley's Family voting for her lol

At this stage it'll probably just be the ones who'll cause little to no tension/drama if they are kept in suspense (I.e. Nick)

Shelley could get through on the novelty factor, however she is definitely still in danger. Miss Dynamix and Sam C have also dropped quite a bit on the outright odds. Sam C's stay in the competition depends on how long he can keep up the teen vote for. Once they get bored, he won't last long.

Thanks for the thread zack

Hassan banned impossible :eek:

Chuh · 19/10/13 - 19:48

Thread started nice and early... well done Zack

Having seen the song list, I can't say many of the choices are making me excited for the show, but I'm looking forward to Rough Copy taking on BSB and Shelly attempting Beyonce

:D

20 minute overlap with Strictly this week

15 minutes next week

itunesfestival2 · 19/10/13 - 21:00

I don't want to completely not give Miss Dynamix a chance. After all, out of all the videos of judges houses they were up there with the highest views and likes. It wasn't a great performance last week and there was too much going on - and hopefully they can change it round this week!

Ugh I hate the overlap

I don't like to miss the start of XF but at the same time I hate having to miss the final few dances on Strictly

I really hope she does the dance.
