I think they've wanted Matt, Emily and 5am all along!

Problem is that she now has too many fans.

Most definately now, to get the desired final 3

No, because they don't sabotage people.

I thought her second song choice last night was a sabotage but it didn't work. I think she is just too good and has so much support she is unstoppable now.

She'll surely get the crowd pleasing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" as one of her two songs which would be a serious vote grabber

Easier said than done. They could sabotage her if the other three were at her level (and certainly if they were superior to her) but they're not....they're pretty mediocre in fact.

The problem is: she's probably topping the vote now. She's at least been second for the last three weeks now.

She was the lead on today's group sing-a-long, her voice is too powerful to ignore. They may give her another awful dress, and an even more stupid wig, but I have confidence she will overcome that and provide a great performance again.

I'm not sure. They definitely want Matt and 5am in the final, but is Emily really necessary?

I hope they do .I cant stand her.

It's basically a battle between Emily and Saara to stay out of the bottom two because 5AM are going through no matter what.

Yes from day one this year they have made it clear they wanted male winners except they may have two females in the final

They really aren't

I think 5am might be shelved after being in the sing-off, in which only highlighted all their vocal flaws

TBH, I don't think Simon or the producers are really that bothered about Emily or Sara for that matter. Niether were thier chosen ones and had either gone up against honey to tonight, they'd have gone. Pains me to say that.

I think they've always invisioned a 5 after midnight and Matt final. Honey g would have bee thier pick for the final too. Now she's gone. Who joins the chosen ones is anyone's guess. Though I do really hope it is Sara. I'd love a Matt and Sara final 2.

To go through automatically, they're going to have to go from 4th or lower tonight to 2nd next week....it could well be them in the sing off again.

In a word - yes.

Quite easily done too - put her on first - play her song in the wrong key - poor staging - judges comments etc etc.

I was inferring that 5AM will be the other act in the bottom two

Yes, that's what I would think. The fact that it wasn't even a surprise they were in the bottom 2 tonight suggests they're struggling somewhat.

And the award for the Most Blinkered Naive Post goes to......

Sabotaging Saara will pretty much hand Matt the crown as Emily and 5AM won't be able to compete vocally.

Matt went on first this weekend - didn't seem to harm him.

SLS was too low for him at the beginning - didn't harm him.

Staging was nothing to write home about.

And he was told by Simon it was 'wet'.

Sabotage?

Didn't harm him either way.

Starting to think she will be "persuaded" to sing Silent Night in Finnish. Mmm.

I don't think so. They would have done it this week if at all. Plus the judges/guests etc are all raving about Matt/5am/Saara nowadays. Nobody is really talking about Emily anymore.
