With a male act departing a female act arriving show is fairly female dominated now.

So I assume they will want rid of a female act this weekend

Cool, they have genuine talent and potential. But, I see them becoming victims of the girlband curse.

And before anyone mentions Little Mix, 4OD don't have the non threatening relatability of Little Mix.

Still, I hope I'm wrong and glad to have them back.

They should get a first week bounce in their vote surely

Lol! Well, I hope, but we all know how fickle the voting audience can be.

Hmm, really? I guess it's true they aren't being deliberately de-sexed by the stylists like LM were, and the show isn't going to run the "representing for girls in Britain" bit. Nonetheless I find them very likable and think they are much better vocally than most girl groups in the past. They are definitely a bit uneasy with their natural poshness though.

I do think that unlike LM they don't have the biggest belter in the field this year, but this is a pretty weak year vocally and the best voice already hit the bottom so....

I'm just glad it wasn't Yeslad! They seem quite likeable too, unlike scarl3t.

Just in comparison to Little Mix. Not saying they're particularly predatory in any overt way. And they do seem like nice girls. But how I view them doesn't matter, it's how the show presents them and how the viewing audience sees them. And from what we know of how the show has treated girlbands in the past, I fully expect them to be "sexed up" eventually.

Tom & Laura should've been brought back imo.

4 Of Diamonds are just another generic girl group on The X Factor, I hope to be proven wrong on that but I doubt it.

They could eat into Matts vote which might be a good thing.

I hope the show sees them mostly as competition for the (relatively non-commercial looking) girls category, or after a warm welcome next week they're going to be pigeonholed as a dated 60s tribute act and dumped out a few weeks later.

May depend on audience reaction next week.

What the hell did they put through Brattavio for? What a waste of time. I'd ove to know who made this decision to put those two through.
Here's a decent place to start looking for the answer

God no. Those two dullards need to go back to the council estate they came from.

Good, at least one girl group should have made the original line-up anyway

Me too, I ditched it when they got through, I'll give it another whirl now there seems some sense of what should of happened in the first place. Hope 4ofD win now.
