I have just found out that the final will be on for 2 hours on the Saturday and another 2 hours on the Sunday

isn't this just a bit excessive? how many songs will the finalists actually sing, or will it just turn into a pre Christmas showcase for the Christmas singles released that week?

I would rather for the final everything was sorted out on the Saturday to be honest, how about everyone else?

They need to stretch it in order to include as many annoying ads as possible. Kar-ching!

I would rather watch X factor for two hours than what ever else is on, usually crap.

I am not saying it won't be good, just wondering how they will fill it. the usual 2 hour final seems a bit of a stretch- this is ridiculous

Hmm ... Well im guessing it might plan out like this .. maybe not in this order but
we will have the rejects .. and then the acts might do a christmas number , their duet and then do they do their favourite song of the series?
Then maybe there will be special guests performing the next night .. we then find out who hasn't made it into the top 2 .. we then get the final 2 singing the winners song .. and then we find out the winner.
Just a guess

It seems like they're going to emulate the American Idol final, especially now that there'll only be two people in it

Ugh - I had been worried they would stretch the final out over two nights...I really don't like the idea at all.

This is all about keeping the phone lines open as long as possible and coining in the cash.

Are they going to start with a final 3 on the Saturday, knock one out at the end of the first show then the remaining 2 go head to head on the Sunday show?

One thing is guaranteed, more appalling miming.

The finalists should have half an hour each to sing whatever songs they choose. See who can handle the pressure and entertain for longer than three minutes.

I would imagine that we'll get the following

Saturday - three acts each singing three songs (Christmas song, best of series song, Duet)

Sunday - third place act revealed. Then the Rejects song, the final two sing the winners song, a couple of guest acts, then the winner announced

Plus loads of ad breaks and recaps

I'm glad it is going to be on on the Sunday night, my Xmas night out is on the Saturday, so I can go out the night before and enjoys a few glasses of vino and a boogy without wondering who won!!!
