They all have a fanbase now, so there might be a surprise exit. It just depends on how well they perform on the night.

Ok let me rephrase it. Sam has the biggest twitter following out of all contestants he won't leave this early

Sorry for the late reply - yeah, Lorna definitely can sing, and she's actually my favourite of the three overs.

But she's also, of all the finalists, the one who has had by far the least screen time (excluding Miss Dynamix as a trio, for obvious reasons), which I think will affect the number of votes she gets.

It's a shame, and you never know, she could well turn out to be a real dark horse in this competition (I'd certainly like that to be the case), but I just don't see her being around for very long I'm afraid.

Shelley without a shadow of a doubt

Kingsland Road will be in trouble I think. I'd like Luke or Shelley to go, I've still got no idea why/how they got through.

if the theme for this weekend is the 80s then shelley should be in her element given its been 30 years since her style of "performing" was popular

the first week is always hard to predict as you don't know just how any of the acts will react to performing live as opposed to the selective editing we have seen so far

I very much doubt it. I have this strange feeling that they'll be singing Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse Of The Heart

People saying Rough Copy not a chance they will go first week they are really popular from what I've seen I think it will be either Shelly Luke Friend Lorna or Kingsland Road .

If one of the others has a spectacular failure though?

Mind you, I suppose if one of the four you mentioned are there with a "favourite" then the judges will save the "favourite".

The only hope of a shock is if 2 of the others crumble under the pressure.

I know she's popular but I'd just love Tamera to forget her words and Sam Callaghan to make a mess of it too. It would be great if they were up against one another in the first week's sing-off.

Why do you hope someone forgets there words ? It dosen't really matter how well you perform the first few weeks really tbh it just comes down to who's the most popular it's only when you get midway through the competition it starts being about how well you perform.

It would be funny.

I think it's hard to say who will be first eliminated before we've seen them perform - and seen the order they appear in. A 'dispensable' one will probably sing first and a favourite will go last.

Personally I think opening the show will be Shelley or Sam (boys). Possibly Sam (overs) or the girl group on last.

Depends on who gets the pimp slot/where in the running order? If Lorna gets the pimp slot, she ain't going anywhere if she's first or a relatively early position then it's clear she's bottom 2. If she is later in the ranking order then I think she will manage to avoid bottom 2. Likewise applies to Rough Copy, Luke, Sam C (possibly), Kingsland Road (possibly), Shelley (possibly), Miss Dynamix (possibly).

The only people who will be completely safe on the first week no matter their position in the running order are those with inane pimping (Sam B and Nick) and the girls (Hannah, Tamara and Abi).

Does anyone think we could have a Nicolo moment?

What do you mean? Awkwardly bad performance? Squeezed between frontrunners?
