Bearing in mind that we now have no real clue as to who the public like least as none of the remaining acts have ever been in the bottom 2, who do you THINK will go this weekend?

I personally haven't got a clue. All I think is that it won't be Rhydian.

i think it really could be anyone except Rhydian....it will defo come down to who performs the best on the night

I think SD, if they don't improve from this week.

I honestly don't know. With these four it's so hard to judge actual popularity due to none of them having been in the bottom two. So hard to call.

Will depend on the song choices, but I think Niki is on borrowed time.

I don't think that anyone is safe including Rhydian, but I expect Niki to go because I can imagine that her supporters are moderate mature people who don't vote much.

I think Leon is the next target.

Completely agreed - I have no idea who will go but I think Niki's time has come, I just don't really enjoy her performances anymore.

I think it will be Niki. She doesn't have a fanbase as big as the other 3

I think it could be SD. Rhydian's not going anywhere and Leon seems to have an army of obsessive fans (if DS is anything to go by... )

I would LIKE it to be Niki but I can't see it happening, even though I think SD are far more entertaining their fanbase is perhaps a bit more limited to younger people whereas all sorts of people may like Niki.

Niki is also more the sort that one-off watchers may vote for if she does a good performance - which to be fair, she usually does, whereas they may not really 'get' SD.

Sorry where are your facts or figures coming from?

Or are you purely assuming that based on DS which is hardly a reliable source.

I hope he isn't - I think he's improving from week to week Then again, it purely depends on song choices and then the performances on the night .

It's just my opinion from what I've seen in the media, the judges comments etc

I don't think that any of that proves she has a smaller fanbase.

I think it's 'hometime' for Niki.

Niki or SD. I'll go with Niki.

SD are favourites to go, but I don't reckon it will be them (maybe I'm just being hopeful ). I think Niki is most at risk, then Leon.

if Niki performs the way she did on saturday or the first live show, she has a good chance of making the final

That's what I always thought - but when I went to the studio this week to see the show the audience were really supporting Nikki and she got some of the biggest cheers, even before she began singing!

I personally hope Nikki will go, but after saturday I'm not so sure. Leon maybe in danger.

I would prefer Same Difference to go as I really don't see their appeal. I also still find the exaggerated childlike grinning quite creepy TBH.

Despite this, I think that it'll be Niki that'll be next to get the boot!

According to X Factor Watch SCD are faves to go, but who knows .........

I agree with the 1st poster, apart from Rhydian I don't think any of the other three are safe.

As none of the acts have been in the bottom two ever, it's really difficult to gauge.

I actually think any of the four could go, though im a leaning towards SD going more than the others.

SD are fave to go but so was ray when there was 4 of them and he came 2nd! they get a great reaction on saturday nights.

I'm guessing that alot of people on the X Factor DS forum are very young, ie teens and 20s (myself excluded ), so would tend to vote for SCD rather than Nicky and Lyon(I'm excluding Rhydian as I think he's safe anyway) and I think that's why they are so popular on this forum but I don't think it reflect the general public's opinion, which I think is very divided between all the acts that are left.

I don't understand why people think it's the younger generation that vote for SD (I'm not attacking you, I'm just curious) - I'm 18, (my friends are 17 + 18) and hardly anyone I speak to likes SD at all. They are all fans of Rhydian or Nikki. Just because people are young doesn't mean they cannot see talent.
