The FB likes have been a decent indicator throughout the seasons on the weekly votings, despite not being 100% accurate all the time.

Honey G - 2,9 k
Emily Middlemas - 1,7 k
Brattavio - 3,9 k
Freddy Parker - 865
Matt Terry - 10 k
Relley C - 1,7 k
Gifty Louise - 1,7 k
Ryan Lawrie - 1,4 k
Saara Alto - 2,1 k
Samantha Lavery - 2,3 k
5 After Midnight - 1,3 k

(UPDATED)

Hi, thanks for this.

What are the ms at the end of the number? Do you mean ks (thousands?) They look like millions!

Thanks! I'm not from the UK and the m's should indeed be k's hahaha.

Therer is no way that Honey is the best liked.

It's hard to gauge with the change. Because a lot of that 2k will be people being angry as well because they're all miserable and would rather endure the likes of Sam, Ryan, or 5AM x

Yes, indeed! Most of the reactions are likes but Honey G and Brattavio also have a lot of angry and laughing reactions. But they still have more likes than, let's say, Freddy or 5 AM.

Focusing on just the likes:

Matt-9.3k
Sam-2.1k
Honey G-1.8K
Bratavio-1.8k
Saara-1.7k
Emily-1.5k
Relley C-1.5K
Gifty-1.4k

Ryan-1.2k
5am-1k
Freddy-722

Looking at that I'm betting on Freddy vs Gifty tomorrow night.

Update:

Matt-10k
Honey G-2.4K
Sam-2.3k
Bratavio-2.2k
Saara-1.9k
Emily-1.9k
Relley-1.7k
Gifty-1.6k

Ryan-1.3k
5am-1.1k
Freddy-788

Looks like all the others will be trailing the straight white attractive male contestant for a change this year.

UPDATE:

Honey G - 4,3k reactions (2,5k likes + 292 love)
Emily Middlemas - 2,3k reaction (2k likes + 267 love)
Bratavio - 5k reactions (2,3k likes + 172 love)
Freddy Parker - 983 reactions (802 likes + 103 love)
Matt Terry - 13k reactions (11k likes + 2,2k love)
Relley C - 2,1k reactions (1,8k likes + 240 love)
Gifty Louise - 2k reactions (1,7k likes + 181 love)
Ryan Lawrie - 1,6k reactions (1,4k likes + 163 love)
Saara Alto - 2,5k reactions (2k likes + 361 love)
Samantha Lavery - 2,7k reactions (2,4k likes + 243 love)
5 After Midnight - 1,4k reactions (1,2k likes + 129 love)

I noticed on facebook, the number of likes differs significantly from on the x factor youtube videos for each contestant's live show performance.

Most notably, Brattavio had one of the most amount of likes on FB, but on Youtube they had by far the least amount.

I'm tempted to guess based on the number of youtube likes, in which case it would be Brattavio and Ryan in the bottom, although it's a toss up between Ryan and Freddy.

There must be an awful lot of strange people out there who think Honey is good. I am amazed that she has any likes as she is totally useless.

This year's line up is so awful that she actually stands out as one of the memorable / entertaining acts.

How can 5 after midnight be at the bottom? I though they were great.

Not for me. I think she is the worst XF finalist I have ever seen, and there have been plenty.

Looks like Matt has the teeny girl vote. If he was to win he would be gone as quick as Ben Haenow.

It's the same nonsense every year. Let's just enjoy the ride.

I wonder what the reaction would be to a 5AM/Gifty/Relley C bottom 3

This series looks an absolute procession for Matt I assume that was the idea , remove competition before the lives

The usual comments I suspect

Some Youtube stats

I know that you cant always gauge how the voting is going to go with these stats, but it is looking like a Freddie v KFC Boys sing off later on.

Maybe not as he will appeal to the teeny girls buying his singles. I cannot think of any other previous male winners that would ?
