Changed my mind now. Going to adjust my predictions to this:

GIRLS

Louisa (100%)
Kiera (85%)
Lauren (35%)

(Havva 30%, Monica 25%, Chloe 25%)


BOYS

Seann (95%)
Che (75%)
Mason (60%)

(Josh 35%, Simon 35%, Ben 10% )

GROUPS

4th power (100%)
Alien (85%)
First kings (35%)

(Gospel Supergroup 25%, Silvertone 25%, BEKLN 20%, Menn On Point 5%)

OVERS

GIRLS

Louisa (100%)
Kiera (90%)
Lauren (35%)

(Havva 25%, Monica 25%, Chloe 25%) - I think it's really close between all 4 of the last few girls, and that last place is really hard to call. I just went with Lauren, as she is the most 'likeable', in terms of the heavily favourable edit she's been given. I do think that last place will be the most surprising, as it depends entirely on how they performed at judge's houses.

BOYS

Seann (100%)
Mason (80%)
Simon (40%)

(Josh 30%, Che 30%, Ben 20% ) - I think Simon just edges the final spot, in a group that will contain such huge (divisive) personalities as Seann and Mason. If the show wants a bit of a 'dark horse', but reliable tween vote getter, Simon is probably is best bet. He's cute and inoffensive - that always seems to carry at least one boy to the latter stages of the competition. The other 3 - despite being good singers/performers - just don't fit that bill.

GROUPS

4th Power (100%)
Alien (100%)
First Kings (35%)

(BEKLN 35%, Silvertone 20%, Menn On Point 10%) - I think it's a tough call between First Kings and BEKLN - I'm almost certain Cheryl will select a male group, given there are 2 female groups as sure picks. I'd prefer BEKLN, but I think FK are the ones the producers would want on tour, and so they get the final spot.

OVERS

Jennifer (90%)
Anton (90%)
Bupsi (50%)

(Ebru 50%, Kerrie-Anne 10%, Max 10%) - Once again, that last spot is tough to call. I think Bupsi edges out Ebru on entertainment value. If Ebru gets through, I'd put money on her being first out - her style just means she's lost in a competition packed full of giant personalities this year.

The interesting thing is that I suspect the way they run the live shows will have a massive impact on who's chosen. There are very few live shows scheduled, and most of the results shows will have (I'm guessing) multiple eliminations. That leaves little time for quieter contestants to find their feet - or a fanbase. Basically, if people aren't talking about them already, you can forget about them making it through the first week!

I agree with most of this. I'm not ruling out Che being sent home but I think if he was then it could have a massive uproar from the public since he's considered to be vocally the strongest male singer in the competition and the bookies have him 3rd most likely to WIN the show let alone make the top 12. I think whilst the public will still react to Josh/Simon being sent home, it probably won't be as dramatic as for Che. Having said that Che definitely isn't safe and is less marketable than other contestants.

Third spot is difficult to call. I'm basing this on I don't think it will be Chloe, as we already have Ebru challenging Louisa for the pretty blonde girl thing, they won't want another stealing the focus from Louisa. I think Laura is going to be our "shock exit" at judges houses, so by default that means either Havva or Monica and Monica has had more coverage.

BOYS
Seann Miley Moore
Che Chesterman
Mason Noise

I think Seann and Che are shoe-in here. If Mason weren't brought back, I'd have said Simon Lynch as third boy but they won't let Mason go, he's too valuable for a series that is craving ratings.

GROUPS
Fourth Power
Alien
Bekln

Fourth Power have had such favourable treatment, as have Alien. Both are commercially viable. First Kings are dated, and this Bekln vs Silvertone is being set up IMO for one of two things. A fight for the final slot, and with there being two girlbands already I'd suggest Bekln are more likely to go through.

OVERS
Jennifer Phillips
Anton
Ebru

First two are obvious. Last slot is between Ebru and Bupsi. I'd say Bupsi would be the novelty act but we don't really need one this year. Alien, Fourth Power, Seann and Mason will all be able to perform uptempo or at least attractive, vibrant performances week in week out so she's pretty useless. Ebru will be in the Sophie Habibis Memorial Position of disposable girl.

Groups: 4th Impact//Silver Tone/The boyband (Sorry, I haven't totally learned the new names yet, and I can't even recall the name of the boyband!)
I can't totally see them putting through both choirs, but I'd narrowly lean to the girls over the boys. I don't see Alien in the live shows, or the two guys. I actually like the idea that they mix the two choirs, but I'm not sure that I see it.

Overs: Anton/Bupsi/Ebru
I've had this feeling from the moment we saw first saw her that this is where Jennifer gets off the ride. Anton seems a strong bet, Bupsi is the novelty act and I'm giving the edge to Ebru just because they gave her such a favorable JH slot. I could see it being Max too.

Boys: Che/Mason/Sean
It makes me very sad not to include Simon, but I feel like Mason will take his space. I can't see them bringing back Mason of all people, if they didn't intend to put him into the lives. Sean seems the most likely, and I think Che will be put through, but will be phased out around the middle of the live shows.

Girls: Louisa/Kiera/Havva
Louisa and Kiera seem dead certs. The other spot is tricky, but every year the last girl always seems to be a more unconventional choice, and typically goes to a girl that has less exposure than the others and is unlikely to make the final few. If they stick to this trend, I can see it being Havva. I can't see them having both Louisa/Chloe, Kiera/Monica and Lauren seems destined to be the "heartbreaking" final cut. (I'd love it to be Havva btw, this isn't me knocking her!)

Have anyone have a matched yet from the others?

Sorry to inform you guys that prediction lines are now CLOSED. Any predictions made after this point will not be counted. Good luck to all 33 of you who took part (myself included). Here is the breakdown of your predictions, showing what percentage of you predicted each contestant making it to the live shows. As you can see, Louisa, Seann and 4th Impact got unanimous predictions from all of you whereas it's not looking so good for Kerrie-Anne, who was only predicted to go through by one person.

It also looks to be very close for 3rd place in the girls and also for the groups according to your predictions, with Lauren and Havva neck and neck (Monica not far behind). And for the groups it is a toss between New First Kings and BEKLN Mile. Although Mile does have the edge here because some of you voted instead for them to go through in the form of a supergroup "Mile-Stones" with Melody Stone (I cleverly came up with this name myself ), hence they have been placed in 3rd over New First Kings.

Now all we have to do is wait and see who predicted the most accurately, and will be crowned the champion!

Louisa 100%
Kiera 88%
Lauren 33% ; Havva 33%
Monica 27%
