Facebook likes indicate that....

Sam Bailey is the runaway favourite. (11 thousand likes ahead of everyone else)
Nicholas is then second.
Rough Copy third.
Abi in 4th.
Hannah in 5th.
Tamera (surprisingly) in 6th.
Luke in 7th.
Sam C in 8th.

Can't understand that.
Tamera, closely followed by Sam B and Rough Copy, were the stars of the night.

Abi fourth ??? You're kidding.

Yes, but Abi didn't get very many likes last week and she avoided the bottom two? I do not think you can go by Facebook and Twitter. The bookies has Abi as the favourite for elimination. I like Abi, but I do not think she is one hundred percent safe tomorrow.

Are these likes on individual performances or their fan pages?

Abi got a lot of likes last week! It was the week before it was minimal likes.

The fan pages ones are irrelevant, Cher Lloyd and 1D had 10 times the amount of Matt Cardle and Rebecca Ferguson!

The ones on the facebook page of 'X Factor'.

If Sam gets into the bottom two he his history, and Gary's tactic not to critique him tonight would have worked. He did the same thing last year with Rylan.

It could be true but I'll wait for tomorrow evening

Are Facebook likes, more accurate than Twitter followers then? I personally do not think Twitter followers represent a true reflection of the majority public vote.

Facebook likes are normally the best indication - whilst not being 100% accurate.

Last week they had Tamera and Kingsland Road very low on the likes, and they were bottom 2.

Hmm interesting. I'm not sure how much stock to put into Facebook likes/twitter followers or anything really, but it gives me hope that Nicholas isn't in danger

Sam Bailey has double anyone else.
Nicholas is safely in 2nd.
Rough Copy safely in 3rd.
Abi looks safe.
Tamera and Hannah quite close, but Tamera isn't gaining as quickly as Hannah.

Well Hannah's much more interesting than Tamera so that makes sense.

Tamera will benefit from a rebound (multi)vote, of course, which probably won't reflect in FB likes.

I wonder if this will all change by results time though. It won't stay the same, will it.

Last week it was the same order, other than Abi overtaking Hannah. Also Sam B got even further ahead come results time. But it pretty much stayed the same.

They'll only save Abi, if she's up against Sam C. So I'm voting to keep him safe.

Tamera got more likes last week, though. Normally someone in the B2 gets more likes the week after, like Hannah, Kingsland Road, Shelly etc. But not Tamera? It's all very odd. Even the comments towards her aren't great.

Sam C's a definite goner if he falls in the bottom two, whoever he's up against, so you better start hitting your redial button

Not so much that you put Nicholas in the bottom two though...

Oh really? Maybe people are giving up on her.

People seem to forgive people hitting bum notes etc quite easily, but if they're not connecting they're just not connecting, I guess.

would like this result actually, probably would switch hannah and with rough copy, then rough copy with abi

Sam B
Nicholas
Hannah
Rough Copy
Abi
Tamera
Luke
Sam C

that would be a good order for me. Sam C out tonight I hope but happy with Luke or Abi going, Tamera is so forgettable to me.

Hannah/Tamera has least likes...bottom 2 for sure maybe????

Tamera really needs to go back to what she did in week 1. UP-TEMPO.

I wouldn't pay any notice. Last week Tamera had loads more than Sam C but he still got through and she didn't.

Facebook likes, youtube likes, twitter followers. Its all meaningless really compared to a phone vote which you have to actually pay for in order to support a given act week on week.

I have this gut feeling Tamera might be in the B2 again
