I tried to make it as musically diverse as possible for each category which is way I decided not to double down on similar acts...

I would have gone with

The Brooks (as filler)

Shame.

BUMP!!!... results to be tallied by the end of the week before live shows start...

Based on who got through to Judge's Houses and based on JH performances:

Boys

Matt Terry
Christian Burrows
Freddy Parker

Girls

Gifty Louise (she is getting better with performances)
Caitlyn Vanbeck
Emily Middlemas

Overs

Ivy Grace Paredes (she applied for wrong type of visa, got necessary visa but was too late - sorry but a filming location shouldn't stop you from continuing in a British singing competition. Arguably best singer this series, and a ballad singer might be just what the lives need considering who made it to lives)
Janet Grogan (has a distinctive voice and one of the best performers imo in JH)
Saara Aalto (though with her it's all about song choice)

If Ivy couldn't come back then I'd say Christopher Peyton - though he already has a career in music so I might argue he doesn't need X Factor.
