Rydian is shown by the media to be favourite and win the X factor, but don't believe the hype I believe Leon has more fans and is a very strong contender the the top spot. Providing the phone lines are not tampered with.

Sorry, but how do you know how many fans each of the contestants have ... for all we know Same Difference could have the most fans.

It's not about the amount of fans really, it's about votes and with all the trouble with phone voting recently, I don't think the lines will be tampered with.

Good luck to all three acts in the final.

I think Leon is a contender he has all of scotland on his side and although he is probally the worst singer of the compatition out of all of them and has no stage presence he has a decent sob story and girls find him cute for some reason, I said it yestrerday he sings like a disturbed sloth, I dont know whats nice about that, but if he won I could just laugh about it, Rhydian will do better than him either way.

Well it has as most fans of each contestant usually vote for their favourite. Judging by other forums you tube and generally speaking with friends (work in a very large organization) and most seems to be rooting for Leon.

There's nothing wrong at all with that thread. It simply wishes Leon well.

Why not it is alright for them to slate but not to listen to the truth.

I agree Muttley, these kind of threads are just asking for trouble

It's not the truth though is it, it's just an opinion - it may or may not be true....

And if Leon doesn't win it isn't because of any tampering, it's because he got less votes. Regardless I will be proud of him for getting so far.

Things have been pretty friendly on this board all day, let's keep it that way.

It simply wastes bandwidth when it could all so easily have gone in the Appreciation thread. Oh God, now I've brought it to people's attention it's been responded to and it's back on the first page. Oh well.

Now you've spoiled it for us mere mortals. I didn't know we were dealing with a scientifically proven theory here. Apologies.

Talk about an own goal...

I do think that thread is harmless though, there have been many similar threads about Rhyd, so no harm!

I can write what I like and don't feel the need to stay in the apprecation thread just because I don't want to upset anybody.

Why stick in the appreciation thread when it is to do with another contestant.

Well I've only talked to myself today and, so far, there's been 100% agreement that Same Difference should win or finish 2nd to Rhydian.

I agree it's harmless. I didn't mean it was inflammatory in any way, just a bit unecassary. And now a thriving thread due to my stupidity.

Oh, here we go....................... I wondered how long before someone laid the grounds for a fix before the final has even taken place.

This is a talent show, I repeat a talent show. If Rhydian wins and Leon doesn't it will be for one reason and one reason only - people have voted, quite rightly, on talent.

Leon fans, please get that into your heads.

Please do not generalise about all Leon fans in that way. I assure you that I and many others on this board will be perfectly content to except whatever happens this Saturday with good grace.

In it's own way your suggestion is just as wrong as the OPs.

That's funny because I work for the second largest organisation in the country and out of those at work who watch XF and who I have heard discussing it, not one rates Leon. Actually many find it funny if it wasn't so tragic that he has got into the final.

As for other sites, do you think that bookies don't do their research in every way available to them, including scouring sites? If there was the merest hint that Leon was that popular, do you think they would still be offering odds for him at third favourite? Or do you think bookies like losing money? Get real.

We will see which of the 3 acts has the most fans on Saturday. Currently we can only speculate.
