The girl who was pregnant and was sent home was on GMTV this morning and she is now 8 months gone. They said that Saturday's shows were filmed back in August so it would seem Louis must be telling porkies if he says that he doesn't know the final nine.

Quite a lot must have happened in the intervening months, I think the final singers will have learned a great deal and we could be in for some surprise performances.

I reallly hope it is Cassie over Megan but I quite liked her as well. I don't even know who the other girl is?? Has she been featured at all yet?

i liked andy too!! i would have voted for him if hed been in the final 9!
Anyways if te daily star is tue then i think the opera style band will win or maybe rowetta... i quite liked Steve too

Simon has just been on Paul OGradys new show. He said that people will be shocked with who is in and who is out when they watch the show on Saturday.

Missed it, but I heard that Paul O'Grady loves Rowetta and reckons it's nerves that made her seem bonkers

Yup, I saw that...but that's typical Si isn't it.

It's all about the hype...sod who wins according to Mr C.


Not that I dont think he is one of the sexiest men on the planet...those millions are having an effect.


Seriously, I like him. He knows the game and plays it to the hilt.

I dont believe a word he says, but then, I am not going to phone for anyone. Paying into the producers' pockets is a con that I've long ago learnt to resist. Like the lottery, I have an imaginary list...it gives me just as much satisfaction as paying out...Sad, aren't I?

I can't see the G4 winning. Simon on Paul O'Grady's show was talking about his very own very similar group Il Divo who he says are the most talented singers he has ever heard . If the judges are really going to start playing dirty, I can see Simon releasing a Il Divo record if G4 look as if they might win X factor.

He's releasing an Il Divo record anyway?

I think Simon may play dirty over G4. He is definitely going to be pushing for a Rowetta win rather than G4 who may be far too similar to his beloved Il Divo (or Westlife Does Opera for the more cynical amongst us)

Yeah G4 winning would be the last thing Simon would want

unless we're heading for a new musical trend

opera takes over from r'n'b...

Il Divo already have a record out and their video is all over Classic FM TV. They are four very fit looking guys (thinking womans crumpet) with exceptional voices.

I think that G4 are good, but not as good as Il Divo

The dark horse here is Cassie. She is good looking, has an exceptional voice and is very versitile, plus Sharon said that she was one of her favs on Xtra Factor

Simon Cowell also said that they had recorded several endings for Saturdays show because of the media leaking it.

He can push all he likes but thankfully even he doesn`t have any influence over the public vote. G4 will end up winning the competition because they are so different and versatile.

I hope Cassie makes the top 9 because i thought she was fantastic on saturday, Strange how she wasn't featured before. As someone said earlier i think she could be a darkhorse.
