Happens every year.

I think both X Factor and Strictly will have their 'joke' acts leave this week.

Strictly
Ed, Danny, Louise, Ore, Judge Rinder and Claudia
Danny and Louise have practically got their marks on the final already. Ore may just round up the final and probably be joined by Claudia. Rinder will leave next week, which means a few possible results for me...
Rinder v Claudia, Rinder goes.
Ed v Rinder, Ed goes
Ed v Claudia, Ed goes
Shock twist Ore v Ed/Rinder/Claudia - result is the same anyone BUT Ore goes.
I think it's obvious Ed will finally leave this week although he has done VERY to get this far.

X Factor
Honey G, Matt, Emily, Saara, and 5 after Midnight
Matt will easily have enough votes to go through and avoid the bottom 2 despite a bad night (in my opinion). Everyone else is vulnerable. Possible results:
All the others vs Honey G should easily result in Honey G leaving. I don't know if the stage invading may help her but i can't see it i predict a Honey G v 5AM or Honey G v Emily sing off. Honey G goes.

The joke acts this year had some legs...i thought they would get further but defintely not win. We've got so many good contestants who deserve the finals.

No I think Danny has another week

I think he might just get through to next week by a whisper

My updated predictions

Danny v Louise; Danny wins. Ore in the mix. Remember they don't reveal who was 2nd/3rd. Claudia comes fourth. Rinder leaves next week. Ed tomorrow.

Matt v Saara; Matt wins. 5AM finish third. Emily fourth. Honey G out tonight.

When there have been four in the final, as was intended this year, the fourth is eliminated and the other three go on to dance again. Presumably they will all dance all of their dances so we still won't know who was second or third.

Well i could boast but.....

On the money on both shows i just had the feeling yesterday! Both acts couldn't go any further and were weak this week too.

Well, you can't really boast, because you started the thread ten minutes after the spoiler thread had said Ed was out.

Although you didn't actually give away the result, I'm sure some will have seen thread title, and the time you started it, and realised that must mean Ed was a gonner.

I'd like to see Chris Moyles, Liz Jones in it. And Sean Bean.
