reckon it'll be Luke Friend, Kingsland Road, or Abi with Rough Copy and my outsiders.

My favourite to go is Luke Friend because I think his is one of the weakest voices of them all and he can't take his shirt off to compensate.

Any thoughts?

I like Rough Copy but I think they might go home first

One of the forgettable Overs.

i think Luke will last a few weeks,I would say Shelley.I dont know who would vote for her.

My gut feeling tells me it will be one of the Overs.

Lorna Simpson

I am. been away a few weeks with work but going home on sunday

I think Shelley is a lot of fun. There's not a lot of that on this year's show. She'll be the irreverent one and I think that may gain her a lot of support. It's like she doesn't care which is a lovely counterpoint to all those crybabies that care soooo much that they'll kill themselves if they have to go back to working for a living.

That'll get her a lot of votes.

I think the three girls and Sam Bailey will be safe. Any of the others could go but I think it will be Lorna.

It probably should be Shelley, but I reckon she'll probably stick around for a few weeks.

I reckon it'll be a Rough Copy/Lorna bottom 2.

Lorna can sing. I think someone else will crumble from the nerves or lack of big stage experience. I'm just not sure who.

Jessica didn't you make a thread this morning saying how Luke was going to win it all?? I can't keep up with you!!

I reckon it might be one of the boys/Kingsland in the bottom two as I think they split the teenage vote a lot between that group, Sam, Luke and to a lesser extent Nicholas.

No. That was Jessica Hanby.

Shelly is going to destroy anyone who dares get on that stage without a bit of personality to offer. The weak will go to the wall.

She's just too damn likeable and infectious. Even if you're repelled by her there's something nice about having her around.

I think Shelley and Lorna should be the most worried. I could see Lorna really struggling in the flash vote, but her saving grace is that I think she could survive in the showdown against a lot of people. I also think Luke Friend and Rough Copy should be slightly worried and probably the other groups too..

Saying that, the last two years, some of the lowest airtime finalists (Jade Ellis, Sophie Habibis for example) got a nice boost from the judges before the first vote, so it really could come down to who the judges get behind and who they don't.

Lorna is a good singer, but that's not always enough. I remember when Sharon chose the Conway Sisters ahead of Maria (Bellows?) and knocked her out - the Conways were a travesty that day.

Ha nice try! but anyway, you seem to change your mind quite a lot!

I can't make my mind up about Shelley - I like her but I don't know how she'll stand up against the other contestants. The public will tire of all these women belting out songs, but on that note I could see Lorna going before her just cos of the personality thing.

Lorna and Sam B in the bottom two, judges will probably save Sam.

The prison guard will be in the bottom, possibly with the girl group. Girl group will go.

Lorna or Shelley. ..but I want to see Lorna safe!!!!

Lorna or Shelley obviously

I think it'll be Sam Bailey. #unpopularopinion

Shelly but probably Lorna which is a shame because if she gets a few weeks then she could become a real dark horse imo

It'll be whoever opens the show, and an over.

No way will she go first, but it wouldn't be a massive shock to me if she ended up going relatively early. (I still see her going far, but I do think it's a possiblity!)
