What I will find interesting is when the voting percentages do come out when it is over. I wonder what it will look like.

Your going to get slated for that

Jahmene is not my fav. I find him more miss than hit. I root for him in life but I cant take to overtly religious people. He used to be really cringy giggly tickle me elmo nervous but he is getting better. I still like james and I miss Kye

It's a common misconception that bookies' odds are somehow determined by some team of experts in back rooms with inside information, actually calculating the real chances of someone/something winning an event.

In truth, though there's an element of that when a book first opens, afterwards it's purely determined by the amount of money being placed by the punters, with the bookies making many complex calculations and raising or lowering the odds to ensure that whoever wins, they'll make a minimum profit margin (usually 30%). So, if baloney's odds to win are high, that basically means not much money is being placed on him... of course, if the bookies did have inside information (strictly illegal, of course), they might bring down the odds artificially to curb their exposure...

I don't think it has lots of impact or else I'm sure Chris would have gone by now. I'm expecting a James/Jahmene win, can't really call it between the two of them, I would have originally said James but since the "voting leaks" I'm beginning to think Jahmene could just steal it from him.

This is probably the only year I'd actually be happy for the DS opinion to mean something judging by the polls (aka Rylan topping & Chris bottom).

Yeah, the question. It's been so long since I've been on DS, I used to frequent the BB forums years ago under a different name and the spoilers, voting etc. always seemed pretty spot on. But I don't know about the X Factor forum. Is public opinion pretty much the same as the DS forum or are we just a bunch of lunatics? ”

Not everybody who votes in Polls on here actually pick up the phone and vote. This was evident during BB. The Bookies got it wrong in BB also..Keep your money and just phone vote for Christopher

DS opinion means shite all. Dannii is the favourite judge here that just about sums us up.

Mentioning this again, Rylan's psycic said he wouldn't get further than week 7

But gladly it is not. I'm afraid you are going to have to sit by and watch him get his Christmas number one.

Agreed.
I never really like the idea of grouping everyone on DS together into one entity. We're all individuals and members of the general public who are able to think for ourselves and vote if we want. Problem is, I don't think many of us can be arsed to vote.

I think it'll be Ella topping in the first few then falling off with James or Jahmene taking over.

Is there such a thing as a DS opinion? I have my own opinions. Sometimes, they fit with others on here, more often they don't. My opinion isn't swayed by what anyone else thinks and whether anyone else on here agrees with me or not.
I'm still a member of the gbp and my views are exactly the same at work, with friends and family etc as they are on here.

See, he strikes me as "the dark horse" of the competition, you may well be right, he could be the 'shock' eviction, like Danyl Johnson.

Although tbh; think it would suit James not to win, if that makes sense.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean a DS opinion as in one entity. I meant the majority.

Not sure the x factor viewers would relate to him ,
or appreciate the talent he shows.

I think DS as an overall does reflect most peoples opinions as regards to the X factor show and its impact
As to the varied opinions on each act and their merit well that just interesting to read

Yes, but always to be taken with a pinch of salt like everywhere. How much salt depends on who's posting what and why. 50 Shades of DS.
