Welcome to tonight's discussion thread for The X Factor Semi Final! at 8:00pm Saturday and Sunday!

This is it. Union J, James Arthur, Christopher Maloney and Jahmene Douglas are all one step away from the grand final.
But not before another pressure filled live show where they must take on "Songs for You" and "Songs To Get You To The Final" in one last bid to secure one of the 3 places in the final of this series.

***********************

The X Factor Gazette:

Semi Final press conference:

Union J: 'We started off as the weakest'

James Arthur: 'I don't suit X Factor'

Christopher Maloney: 'I want a duet with Gary Barlow'

Jahmene Douglas: 'I want a rock or rap song'

-----------------------

No sing-off in semi-final - bottom act goes home


Nicole Scherzinger: 'I know some fans didn't want me'


Caroline Flack: 'Christopher Maloney can win The X Factor'

Simon Cowell reveals 'X Factor' winner's single charity details

Rylan Clark to fill in for Richard Arnold on 'Daybreak'

Gary Barlow: I don't know if I could judge X Factor with Simon Cowell

***********************

This week in X Factor history:

Brenda Edwards loses out on a place in the final by just 23 votes (Season 2)
Leona Lewis wins her place in the final with "Over The Rainbow" alongside Ray Quinn as Ben Mills is eliminated (Season 3)
Leon Jackson is crowned the winner of the series (Season 4)
JLS secure their place in the final with "Umbrella" as Diana Vickers leaves (Season 5)
Danyl Johnson's "Man In The Mirror" fails to see him through to the final (Season 6)
A rare semi-final bottom 2 ends with Mary Byrne out and Cher Lloyd through to the final (Season 7) (Live Show/Results)
Misha B is automatically eliminated after receiving the lowest number of public votes (Season 8)

This week's celebrity guests:

Tulisa - Sight Of You
P!nk - Try

Odds:

They will be scratching their heads wondering what to do to get rid of Baloney tomorrow

Personally I will laugh my socks off next week if he goes on to win providing he survives this week, the look on Simon and the judges faces will be an absolute picture

OP I often wonder why you don't put the odds in order, sometimes feel like you're misleading people that don't understand how they work.

I'm actually seriously thinking now that he could win. And that really scares me...

There is that danger but they've only got themselves to blame

One thing after another this year, and it just wouldn't surprise me

Can you imagine how venomous this place will be if the unthinkable happens

I think it would bring on the infamous server crash imo. It really would be the final nail in the coffin for the show, especially since they've been trying every trick they can think of to get rid of him...

Just read the no sing off article

"X Factor's decision to take away the judges' power to save an act looks likely to benefit Christopher Maloney"
I guess they've given up.... is he really topping the votes.... i hope so

He's like the Anti-Christ of The X Factor....nothing is bringing him down....I was intrigued that the rumoured "voting order reveal" failed to materialise though....but since it's an automatic elimination this week, maybe they will try a final time to get him out. For someone apparently so disliked, he hasn't been in the bottom 2 once...it's so bemusing and surprising at the same time, especially considering Simon obviously doesn't want him on Syco's books.

Most will say 'thank god'

This thread will be a lot quieter I would think now Rylan has finally gone as he was the entertainment of this series for some

Imagine if Chris goes on to have Susan Boyle success with his album

He should go this week to leave a JJJ final But he won't

We'll soon find out later in the next installment of the Fake Shakes saga

Wildcard to Winner, upsetting Simon in the process

Hope somebody will do some screengrabs to get the judges faces if he gets to the final

Well after Louis' reaction last week I'm sure there's plenty more where that came from...

I think we may have a surprise elimination in Christopher, because with all of these shocks that have happened this Series, it wouldn't surprise me if that surprise happened.

one can only hope, his rumored song choice suggests he's won the thing though

Who's Jack?

They will don't worry....

I think Union J are the most in danger tonight. The producers will be doing all they can do get them in the final but I'm not sure it will happen.
