Needless to say, take this with a big pinch of the powdery white stuff (although the gossip on pb is a lot more reliable than the gossip on here...)

louis has got the band.
sharon has got the under 25 solo
simon has the over 25 solo.
simon has sinitta on his team to help them 'prepare' for stardom

...also read this somewhere else. And Sharon has got Ozzy's nephew, the muppet from the Salon to help style her charges. God help them.

I wouldn't have thought Simon would want the "over 25's". He specialises in the teen market so I would have thought he would have opted for the Solo under 25s.

I didn't think that the judges got to choose which group they wanted. Wasn't it decided by the producers? I would have thought that they would have given Sharon the bands as she has less experience with that area than Louis and Simon.

I think that, although he hated most of the performers that Louis and Sharon put through, he will find enough people in his group that can perform the kind of songs he used to give to Robson and Jerome. If he does this he has a good chance of getting the number one slot at the end of all this.

I think they have, Kate Thornton has said, on more than one occassion, about a performer that such and such a judge mentor's them further on in the series. They wouldn't mentor someone who wasn't in their group.

I can see Sharon getting the under 25's because she's been managing Kelly and it'll probably give her a step up into managing young talent again in this country and the states. The Osbournes phenomenom (lol) can only last so long and the other stuff she has done has really been old rockers and things. Simon probably couldn't care less who he gets at this point (the guys schedule is mad - i'm not sure he can tell the difference even between the shows he's doing) and would be happy to take the over 25's for comedy value (which will be an easy job for him). Louis getting the groups gives them a chance at another Westlife or something. I think the way it has worked out is pretty much best for all's interests - y'know they all knew anyway and it was probably all sorted when they signed their contracts.

Be fair. He has the likes of Dido on his books and she hardly owes her success to the teen market. Even Will Young has only lasted because he appealed to a broader spectrum of the market, mainly the over-25s, even over-45s, and Simon knows that.

I can't help feeling that they have known which group they were going to end up with, all along. Louis has a band he likes in the contest, L & S put people (over 25s) through that Simon obviously hates, Sharon seems to take more interest in the younger contestants ...

My conspiracy theory is that it was always decided. I have no idea why they thought it would be a good idea to surprise them... they should have said all along who they were going to represent. What difference does it make?
