They seem to be one of the most popular acts this year and they have been left to the last show, is there a draw between the acts before semis to decide what day they'll appear on the show? Or is Simon filling each semi with two good acts and some rubbish ones so his chosen few make it to the final?

Probably to try and give the audience something to talk about in the run up to the final the following week; certainly the last two semi finals seem stronger than 2 and 3.

The whole show to me just reeks of manipulation in order for Simon to get what he wants, i do enjoy the show mainly the entertainment acts and not the singers and dancers :sleep:

The 2 real favourites left seem to be them and Aliki. They'll probably be on separate semi finals.

I didn't realize that the final was a week Saturday, I was thinking the last semi finals were on Friday. That means Attraction, Francine Lewis and Aliki have a great chance of getting through.

Yes, Attraction are the shadow group. Aliki is the singer who had an illness (brain tumour? ) and has come back from it.

According to wiki - which, to be fair, has been accurate when it comes to semi final listings before they're officially announced - Francine will be in Friday's semi final while Attraction will perform on Saturday.

^ Perhaps Emeli Sandé will be on standby to wow us with a rare live performance of "Read All About It", should Attraction make the final and repeat their audition piece.

Of course it is.They decide who appears in each semi final and what order they appear in so as Simon can get the ones he wants in the final.

But of course the heats need to be seeded in some way. You couldn't have 9 of the best acts all in one heat or you'd end up with loads of good acts going out and some terrible ones in the final by default. Although this system means that there are still acts that go out that are good, at least usually you do get 10 good acts in the final, whether they are nearly all singers or not.

I admit I usually think it's manipulated that the favourite goes on last in each semi and whoever is on first has absolutely no prospect of going through no matter how good they are. I was very surprised the other night that Alice didn't go on last, as she was clearly Cowell's favourite.

I wish it was easy to accept that but I'm sure we would like to see more variety in the final. We have 3 singers in the final already, I think there is space for at least 2 more.

It doesn't reek of anything as that is exactly and factually how it is.

In all shows it's manipulated that their 'star' get the pimp spot at the end and even down to which acts go in which shows so as to knock out those they don't want and give the ones they do want the best chance.

Even the videos and recaps are carefully manipulated to promote some and not others.

And if all else fails, well then the judges still have a vote to get what they want at the end.

Because they are trying to give Attraction the best possible chance of winning of course!

Just thinking wasn't the ones who won last year on the last final as well? I can't quite remember though. The ones who win are usually in the later semis.
