I reckon she has this in the bag now!

Amelia's odds are shortening but odds cheker still has Marcus as favourite at the mo but his odds are drifting

Amelia cannot win this as she was kicked out in week one if she does it will be a travesty.

A honeymoon period bounce! She is safe this week, but just wait for things to go wrong.

I think she is the only one that might be able to stop Craig winning and making the show an even bigger laughting stock.

All it says is that a lot of money has been put on her. No surprise really. It all seems to have been so set up for her to win that any dedicated punter would be mad not to.

It says sod all.

Vocally, she wipes the floor with the other singers. I hope she makes it into the finals.

Everyones odds but Amelia's are drifting (with the exception of Little Mix at a few bookies) so agree with wallster about the honeymoon period. Hopefully will be over next week.

Odds can be way off.

It could go either way for her. Let's be honest here, all the other contestants have established fan bases of varying sizes and the floating vote grows progressively. The floating vote isnt that strong yet.

For her to make the final she has got one hell of a challenge on her hands, she is going to have to generate enough traction to beat down some very aggressive fan bases (Misha, Janet, kitty and little mix I would say probably have the most active fan bases).

Kitty may get the rebound vote this week and if Janet or Misha hit the bottom two this week they will have it next week. As there is a real danger that Misha could hit the bottom two tonight (she has been there before her other competitors have not), it could make amelias job even harder.

So it depends just how strongly she gains traction and I wouldn't want to say either way, even Amelia (fortunately for her own sanity) is aware that it could go either way, she said as much on Xtra Factor last night.

Tonight I think she will be safe, I think next week will be her "proving ground" so to speak, depending on who is bottom tonight.

It'll be really interesting to see what happens next week when Amelia isn't performing last and doesn't have the hype/attention that she got last night and just becomes "one of the contestants" again.

You know what, I'm looking forward to the vote results this year, I think they will be very interesting and open a lot of discussions.

I think Amelia as an "experiment" will be very interesting.

I think her personality will be her undoing : she looks quite sour much of the time, maybe even angry.....I'm not sure how that will equate to her winning a popularity contest.

Eurostar...yes I agree that could be her achilles heel but hopefully they will work on that just as they have with Misha who is now a spin doctors dream albeit quite fake!
