Interesting to see how many have voted against him in the poll.

Maybe his cockiness is having an effect.

It's more to do with some people's attitude, I say... His fans (some) don't do him proud....

No I doubt it.

I just think its fans of opposition doing it.

Anyway the poll means nothing-its a very very very small representation of X viewers.

Means zilch really-just this little war between two sets of fans I think.

good going by ds polls he should win it..... don't forget if ds were to be believed Aisleyne and Samanda would have won BB and Janice Dickenson IMACGMOOH

DS polls are known to be very unreliable.

But Rhydian is winning polls outside of DS also. And no, I'm not referring to that InternetForum poll which Niki seems to have some mysterious grip on...

They are only unreliable when votes are close. Not when they are this far appart.

That's intersting cause it looks to me like the vast majority of people don't rate him their least favorite act.

And as for it being the fault of his fans, that's pretty low considering the fact that far more nasty threads have been started about Leon than by Leon fans, and that is a fact.

Oh and I am well aware that there has been a campagin in a certian thread for people to vote him as their least favorite act, so that probably has bumped up the vote count.

Either way it matters not the least. The X Factor is all about a positive vote, so I really could care less if he is narrowly the least popular act on this board.

I don't hate Leon, I do dislike him. I just don't think he has the X Factor, plus he is very dull and boring, he does nothing for him, and he is defo know Micheal B. He is a brilliant singer and a performer, Leon isn't, he leaves me bored and cold.

Losing ... he is...

As Simon said before, he went to much on "likeable"
votes...
This IS a singing competition...not "the most liked or cute man in the village" neither "the competition for who cries the most"...

I agree and DS viewers arent daft. Also agree that DS is usually right when there's a large gap in the voting.

Exactly. If it was close, fair enough. But Rhydian has been polling 50 percent+ for weeks now. Even Leona wasn't that far ahead last year I believe.

The DS poll has been quite accurate this year. It picked up on the lack of support for Hope, Futureproof, Daniel, Beverley when other polls had them as main contenders and registered support for the final 4 long before any other poll did.

Back in series 1 when Steve apparently came top in the voting every week this was the only poll that had him winning.

I guess we will see on Saturday how accurate it is. Technically Niki should be back to her turkey twizzlers but who knows?

DS poll for last 4, 1 year ago.
here
Leona on 40%, not as much as Rhydian ,but still a sizeable %.
In the final 3 poll she was on 48%.
here



Leon fans can take comfort from Rays low showing in these poll, he went on to the final!.

Leon is actually polling far better here than Ray was, as he has over 18% of the votes in the favorite act poll.

And if you look at the least favorite act poll for this point last series it wasn't that different from what we have this year:

ya right Muttley
Ray was least favourite this time last year!.

I think Leona will be in the final, with Rhydian and SD.

Thanks for that, Hotelier !

I thought Leona polled better at this stage?
But I wouldn't contradict you, because yI know you are the man with the spreadsheets

Anyway, a poll is nothing, compared with votes, I would say.Look at Ray last year, as bad as many considered he was he still got the 2nd slot...
It could happen this year, too.

Rhydian has been consistently good, maybe that is why he polls better..or maybe he has more fans ?
Hotelier , what do you think made Leona beat the others in the polls, votes and such, besides her obviously good voice and talent?

Hi Antal.
Umm...good voice and talent seems to work for me and I was also very entertained by her performances
That is very important,
eg Judges may support an act, but if that act doesn't entertian the public (Hope for eg), then no amount of bigging up from the judges will save them.

I think Ryhdian deserves his place as fav this year, I think he had health problems on Saturday, which affected his performance.

anyway,,,,going off topic a bit

I think Leon will be in the final and possibly be runner up.

Yes, Hotelier, I think that is why Leona and Rhydian are the best of their series, for consistency in having very good voices and performances. Obvious talent.
And yes, no matter what act the judges support, if there isn't talent behind their bigging it up, those acts are headed for the exit.
Yes, I think Rhydian totally deserves his place as a fav and I am glad you are such a balanced fan . And you are right, I think, about the health problems.

And yes, sadly, I think Leon, as Ray, might be in the final, even if his voice and performance aren't that good.

He should have stuck to the 'I'm just a poor wee lad from a council house' spiel as one thing he can't afford to lose is the sympathy vote!
