Three questions:

1. Has the last performer ever been in the last 2.3?

2. The most memorable performance for me (in a positive way) was Wagner's song 1 yesterday, Radioheads Creep. Does the order really matter, do they think we're all goldfish? Do they think we're all goldfish? Do they think we're all goldfish? (sorry)

3. If they do think we're all goldfish - who decides the order? Cheryl?

Hmmm, it depends. Performance order is crucial but at this stage in the competition, I think fans will vote regardless. It now boils down to who can get the most votes from their fans on the night. Wagner fans will vote even if he didn't perform. As would One Direction fans, Matts and Rebecca's and possibly Cher's.

Katie needed to go last so people would remember her - proof she has no fan base.

Ashley a few series back is the only act to end up in bottom two from pimp slot

Thcjat was s2 or s3, wasn't it? Cher's safe, sh1t!

I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see two of Cheryl's girls in the bottom 3 tonight,despite the machinations of the producers.Having bent over backwards to keep all her acts in,it may start to backfire on them now,as their votes will be split.On top of that,none of the three were particularly good last night.

So long as that doesn''t include Rebecca.

So how can Cheryl get away with it? Don't say number of acts, with Wagner/Mary up so early.

Season 3. He was dire and early on the judges had him down as a winner

So there's hope for Cher yet?

Regarding (1), last year in the semi-finals when it was between Joe, Olly, Stacey and Danyl they put Danyl last and he ended up going. So it can happen.

It's happened three times across all the series - Ashley in series 3 (with the singoff), Danyl in the semis last year, and also Ben in series 3 (in the semis).

Only 3/5ths of Wand Erection did perform on their second song.

I don't think Cher is as safe as people imagine : there are only seven acts left and there is a bottom 3 tonight.People are assuming that it is guaranteed Cher will get a rebound vote and automatically end up in the top 4.If she does manage it,it could be very bad news for Rebecca.

So in the previous SIX series it's only happened twice (can't count a final of 3).

Who is Cheryl sh@gging?
