Don't... it's not worth thinking about

On the other hand, we'd have had a very strong over 25s category, along with very strong boys and girls. I think it would have made the contest more exciting. Simon only made the change to weaken the overs and strengthen the younger categories.

He would've been out already

Matt, Treyc and Mary would be his final three, me thinks.

I think Louis would have found room for Marlon, possibly as a wild card. The over 25s would have been such a strong catagory, but I don't think Louis would have appreciated the talent still.

I can't imagine Louis would have been given the category in that case.

The changing of the age range was suspicious to me the minute it happened as it basically really weakened the overs category.

I suspect the decision might have been based on the fact that they saw Matt as a potential winner and believed that he would fair better if he was perceived to be a young winner. An over hasn't won since series 1 and young males have won 3 out of 6 series.

This, exactly. He might have lucked out (ish) and got the boys, though - Cheryl was always going to get the girls, and giving him the groups three years in a row would have seemed unfair even for The X-Factor. He probably would have been able to work with Aiden, although Nicolo would have given him trouble too, and he probably would have made Paije into a younger version of John. He could have put through John Wilding (arguably the best singer in the category) as his wildcard, though.
