I've just found the betting odds for the remaining 4 contestants with regard to who's most likely to be eliminated from the contest this coming Saturday 2nd June.

They are:-

Lewis 8/15

Ben 3/1

Keith 9/2

Lee 40/1


If this proves correct then it looks like we're heading for a Keith/Lee Final. Can't wait!

would be an interesting one

it would but then again in HDYSAPLM ALW saved Helena (I believe, my mind might be giving up on me today though) in semi final and she was runner up! so who ever gets saved could still win/be runner up

I thought only one went this week! - with three in the final and one going after the first round of songs.

Ben
Keith
Lee

yes only 1 goes this week, then 1 in first half of the final which leaves 2 and the tension builds until the winner is announced i believe

That is why the "bookies" know that ONE will definitely be saved this week by AWL, if he should be in the bottom 2 - but next week it is just the Public, then we will really see!

Oh well on a positive note if Ben goes out first I will save money on my phone bill

Ohh Twingle how could you even think it

However, if the worst happens maybe Auntie Sophie can persuade him to pop over to our place to have a chat

As Mr Bean would say that is a cunning plan

But nope he ain't going out this week says the bookies and they are never wrong and anyway all my favs go out third

Sam Nixon (Scottish vote again!!!!)

I tend to agree with the odds there.

Keith / Lee final. BUT Ben could up the ante this week and move up to second. He's got so much to repay ALW now, it's do or die for Ben this week, I think. I wouldn't underestimate Keith either though, he can tug at the heartstrings

Of all weeks, for Keith, Ben and Lewis in particular this Saturday's choice of song really will play an important part in the result at the end of the evening. That's my belief anyway.

I only hope that they are all given a fair crack of the whip with their songs. We have seen so often over the past few weeks the result of someone being given a song that effectively 'stitches them up' when it comes to public appeal and votes, and I do believe that it has been done on purpose in some cases.

I agree. I want them all to be given a fair chance this week and that means the best songchoice for each singer. Cant see it happening though.

Aaaagh I just don't get it. No matter how talented a singer you think Keith is (or how cute you think you he is not that you should be voting for cuteness ) he's just not Joseph. Surely anyone can see that If he were to make the final - it wouldnt matter who he was against ALW would not pick him so the other is a winner. On that basis he should go out this week. Unless of course ALW wants to keep him in for tastical reasons...

Good odds there. Though I've got a feeling Keith will be in the sing off with Lewis. Dunno why that is, just is.

Would prefer ALW to save Lewis if that's the case. Keiths got a cracking voice, but I just don't see him as Joseph.

JMO though.

I can't see ALW keeping him in for tactical reasons, I think that would be a v dangerous move. The little Scottish lad has a large fan base and if he makes it to the final, he could easily do it IMO. If ALW doesn't see him as Joseph (and I have no idea whether he does or not) he'd be well advised to try and get him out this week.

I agree with you, Keith has a great voice but he looks about twelve and I just don't see how he could be convincing as the older dominant Joseph at the end of the show.

I can't imagine it being down to these two. What possible reason could ALW give for getting rid of Lee, which he would have to do? What reason could he give that the public would buy?

There isn't one.

Even the age card doesn't work as he has to age and be in his 30's in the second act.

And considering that Lee hasn't been up for the public vote, I very much doubt it's going to happen now... you need only look at the odds...so there's no way ALW can boot him.

Neither has Keith though, and we all know the kind of random decisions ALW is prone to making!

I can understand where you're coming from, but I don't trust him, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he sent Lee home. So I will be voting like a maniac

Whilst this may be your considered opinion, it seems obvious that there are many others who watch the programme on Saturdays and feel that he should be Joseph. Unless something really bizarre happens this weekend, I don't believe Keith is going to be eliminated and will be in the Final.

No-one really knows what the new version of Joseph is going to be aiming for. So whilst everyone seems hell bent on dismissing a younger guy because they know the old formula of the show, it might be what the new production wants. Just because older performers were cast as Joseph in the previous productions doesn't mean that it will hold true this time, especially if the viewers vote is decisive.

For myself, I feel of the three under 20's left, that Ben would be an absolute disaster, he wants to run before he can walk. But that's just me.

Oye I thought you were my friend

I thought it was clear what ALW wants for this new production, it be be a young poppy Jospeh like Justin Timberlake - in fact Andrew only said in the last few days he wants to work with Justin and write a musical for him.

No One is too Young! once you get in training from walking you will soon be running with all the support behind You! - BEN can do it!

But ALW can't boot someone out who has not been put up for elimination! And if we follow the bookies odds, it'll be down to Keith and Lee. ALW won't have anything to do with it.

I am twingle!

I know that Ben is at the Italia Conti School like Lewis so should know about discipline, but there really is a feeling of a loose cannon about him for me. He exudes confidence, but is it really border line cockiness? I have felt all along that, should he win, he might let it all go to his head and not in a good way.

I may be on my own in this idea, but there you go.

[quote=Gillypoots;14932758]
I agree! For someone who is currently at the Conti school, I found the All by Myself performance very worrying indeed. It's one thing for someone like Rob, who hadn't much training but more of a raw talent... but for someone who's been studying for years... and to give a performance like THAT..... loose cannon would definitely be my judgment and i'm sure Zoe feels the same...

Why can't ALW do whatever he chooses? he did with Daniel! - he had never been in the bottom 2 - rest assured No One is Safe! - not even The Chosen One!! and how do people know what Zoe thinks? - some posters are getting a little too excited thinking that it is a One Horse Race!!
