Oooh good luck to both guys, its a shame that they both can't

...by one point...

OH MY BEJEZUS.

That's a tight margin! I will say that over the course of the night, I ended up ranking the two equally

OMG too tense!

Wow Tense

FRANKIE COCOZZA!

So massive congratulations to Pete, who we knew had won either way, but as Justin said earlier this is a bit of an amazing turnaround considering that Frankie is such an unpopular act in real life, and was bottom two twice near the beginning of this game.

But also mega well done to James who was consistently praised by everyone.

Results and all that shiz coming right up!

...well I'll be damned.

FRANKIE WON THE RISK FACTOR.

I am like, stunned! If I hadn't changed my vote, the result would be different right now!

Evidently someone has divided by 0 somewhere.

Oh my god! That's a huge shocker! But Frankie has been just amazing in this show and no one else should try and mentor him again!

Congrats Pete! I loved Frankie's final song, a thoroughly well deserved win!

Maybe I should start following these games, they seem much wilder than the real X Factor.

And someone better tell Mr Blonde!

Wow quite shocked. Well done Frankie. Very much deserved. Commiserations James, also would've been a worthy contestant. Well done again on Pete for top 2

Can I say thanks to Alex firstly, for taking me on board, and all the judges for making this series so enjoyable.

HAHAHAHA! LOVE this result!

I admit, i voted for Frankie in the final 2 round (mostly cause of Black Kids ). WELL DONE PETE!

But you love James

I actually voted for James because that song was amazing but Frankie is a worthy winner too

Ahaha I know He'd be so proud <3

Also hope you can vote in the next series

Oh and also a huge thanks to Alex for letting me join this game I've loved every minute of it

I'm stunned still. Congrats Pete, you really are the best mentor on this site. You just pulled off the impossible. After 2 bottom 2 appearances (one at near elimination), you managed to make a winner out of Frankie Cokecozza.

I looove James too! , James' winners song was amaaze! but i admit, ive kind of had Frankie in my top 2 nearly every show

Sophie and James started off at the top with Rhythmix not far behind due to their awesome Israeli song! Justin had the worst luck having three in the bottom 4, and it was those three he lost. It kept switching between the Groups and the Overs but there were some Unconventionals fans out there who saved them!

Wow Sophie stormed that! well done dyldyl!

UGH. Can that week be erased from the world?

I really don't know what to say without making myself sound like an idiot!

I suppose I've done quite well on DS games generally, but this - getting both boys to the top 2, and one being FRANKIE - is my proudest achievement in my just over a year since I joined. Overall I think all 5 of my boys have been my best mentoring ever and I've loved it.

Thanks to Dylan, Justin, Bex and not forgetting Zak for being great judges, and to all the viewers who voted for either boy.

Alex, this game and its themes is CRAZY at times but its genuinely the best game around so thank you so much for hosting it again - you've been brilliant. And to Aliyah for helping with all those crazy themes lol!

I've not done a proper XF game for 6 months and have had a difficult year in RL (which made me drop out of my last game in summer), so at the risk of sounding a saddo this really means a lot to me. Thanks again everyone.

Wow didnt expect Sophie to top. But yay. Actually I had 3 in the top 5 week one. woah

This time it was the Groups turn at the bottom, and Zak unfortunately lost 2 Shoes followed by G4. Sophie and James retained their 1 and 2 spots, followed by some other Girls and Boys...and Rhythmix! The Risk gained just enough from last week to avoid the sing off.
