To be fair, it wasn't exactly his choice. The WWF declared his hair an important habitat for multiple endangered species of flea and therefore it was decided that it must be protected at all costs.

They don't really have a great mix, that's why. Sam B, Lorna and Shelley are all going to be fighting for the same votes.

The boys have a good mix in terms of variety, but Luke has a weak voice, whilst Sam is average at best. Nicholas may win, but he will flop afterwards.

The girls aren't much better. Tamera is unlikeable and you just wanna punch Hannah with all the pathetic, depressing sob stories and the never ending tears. Abi's likeable, but she's no different to Janet/Lucy in the sense that she won't be able to pull off the themes the show does every week.

Kingsland Road can hardly sing a note between them, but have the teen vote. Rough Copy are no more than filler. One performance from Miss Dynamix doesn't make them good - take a look at Miss Frank.

Andrea, Zoe, Jade, Melanie, Paul, Brick City and Xyra were all so much stronger than most of the final 12. I don't understand how they got it so wrong.
