Nary a single live show had been broadcast before The Great Wizard Of FXDUX sent forth a big booming voice declaring to all the munchkins on Digital Spy that Danielle Hope was The Golden Child Prophesied In Andrew Lloyd Webber's Pro Forma 2011 Tax Return.
FXDUX (heretoafter referred in the third person, for defensive purposes lest The Exalted One get, like, knocked out early) received unseemly abuse from numerous members of the Lollipop Guild who Lacked The Courage, Brain And Heart to cast their golden crowns before this prophecy.
But, now, Winged Monkeys of Temporary Self-Satisfaction must be sent forth across Oz to shame and silence the doubters, and perhaps even lure one or two hapless retards into repeating the doubt that Danielle is the preferred winner.
As/when Danielle gets knocked out, FXDUX shall with valour unquestioned be standing by in a metaphorical rain poncho for your buckets of cold, wet delight.
Should one of the unhedged monkeys win, your e-drenching will cause FXDUX to melt completely while groaning "What a world! What a world!" But if Stephanie triumphs or one of the hedged monkeys wins by a nose, FXDUX will be restored to monetary Kansas ready to fight another day in next year's show: the search for Jesus (Christ Superstar), aka How Do You Solve A Problem Like Stigmata?
It is a sincere hope that should that transpire, you will put your devoted faith in FXDUX's Jesus; all you need is the £5 that was in your pocket all along, and to follow the Yellow Betfair Road while saying "There's No Place Like Gamblers Anonymous! There's No Place Like Gamblers Anonymous!"
And now, if you will excuse me, I must direct a wicked gaze into the betting login on my putative crystal iPad, to which I have already given the nickname "Danielle".”

I just think that this interpretation has come far too early-for a start just because she sung a line 'what a set up-holy cow!' that means absolutely nothing. Besides which 'set up' is a highly negative statement...
I do agree that some of the praise was heaped on certain people and then when it came to choosing the final ten others were actually chosen, but to say he praised Tamsin Outhwaite purely because she had the 'chosen one' in her group is just silly-maybe he actually thought she performs the role well?! Not sure if you watched the show, but each of the "stars" said there was one particular Dorothy that they thought was perfect-it wasn't just Tamsin....
But my final and perhaps deadly blow to your argument is that Danielle didn't stick out in my mind one bit-I remember wondering who she even was when the final ten were announceed. If the whole show was designed to inculcate her into our minds then I would say it failed miserably-indeed her odds with the bookies further demonstrate that.
I genuinely looked at the bookies odds a few days ago and thought-well there's no way Amy will go in the first week, purely based on extra publicity etc, etc, I also thought Steph was talented and hence had earmarked Danielle as the probable first candidate to leave. Of course this is a bit early especially considering I haven't even heard them perform a full song so I'll reserve judgement, but those were my genuine first thoughts. Anyway time will tell and we'll see who was right!”

BUT forgets to add that due to his DOUBTS over the course of the show.. only ends up with a £2 difference regardless who had won...
No IPAD for you! Should have stuck to gold
FXDUX - well done. I was thinking about what you had said a few weeks back, all thru tonight's show. I think they've backed the wrong horse tbh - Stephanie Evans was the only one of those girls with any natural ability for the part.

I'm a hedger, not a gambler. £278 is not bad for a bit of fun. Next time round they'll pick the wrong girl and I'll make money again because I don't gamble, I hedge.
Danielle's course through the competition wasn't plain sailing and certainly warranted sensible hedging.
Thanks About and Demiurge

It would take a pretty brainless scarecrow to contend that Danielle's course through the competition was plain sailing and did not warrant sensible hedging.”

You have entertained me throughout and i look forward to running in to you again on this website
... and next time... i think i will follow your tips!
Well i did the opposite and backed sophie early and laid it off. Unfortunately i laid it off too early so i only won about £20 but i'm not too bothered as i always wanted danielle to win..

I changed my previous post because I thought you might infer I was calling you a brainless scarecrow!
I'll be back.

You see if I'm not!

FXDUX - I've never contemplated this before, but I'm going to take the plunge and ask you to marry me.

Fairs fair I look a fool and bow to your superior knowledge. I've greatly enjoyed winding you up this series
and as someone else has pointed out pity that even you didn't have faith in your own convictions...

Such an interesting theory. However, you can usually manipulate any situation to fit any particular 'conspiracy' idea.
But to add to it, I can also remember ALW stating early on something like "I want to keep my powder dry at this stage." Could that be because his favourite hadn't yet performed?
Also, the comment he made (and more particularly the way it was said) to Sophie along the lines of "I have to say you are extremely talented," (note the first four words), did kind of sound like he was sub-consciously addressing a possible runner-up.

this was posted just after the start of the first live showalong with FXDUCK prediction..
this thread is scary
It's unheard of for someone to be in the bottom two twice and win. Obviously this year was very close and I have no doubt that the favouritism* helped get those undecided votes.
*based on the something that we got to see very little of during the show. Here are some snippets of acting - they are not long enough to form an opinion so instead we will TELL you who is the best. Lo and behold, people started talking about subtle acting way before we had even witnessed it with our own two eyeballs! (no, a huff, stomp, eye roll in a song doesn't count as acting).

It would have to be an open marriage with a prenup

Blowup I agree wholeheartedly with you and I think that this was the frustrating thing about the show.
