Faryl Smith will be last. I'll bet my life on it.

She didn't get a standing ovation from the judges like Escala though. I think Simon can see long term potential for both of them.
My only other significant disagreement with your list would be that a stronger act will be out second to try and compete with Doctor Who which will have just started on BBC1. I posted this on another thread: Its quite difficult to do properly. There are a few things to consider: *A big, loud and energetic act to open and draw in the audience *A strong second act to hold an audience as Doctor Who starts * Nemesis, Cheeky Monkeys and Signature (all dancing) should be separated * Faryl, Andrew J and Andrew M should be separated. * Building tension and "seriousness" towards the end * Something light before the "grand finale" (not always, though) * An act to bring the house down at the end Part 1: Signature Strike Part 2: Andrew Muir Cheeky Monkeys Part 3: Nemesis Andrew Johnson Part 4: Escala George Sampson Part 5: Kate and Gin Faryl |

Kate and Gin were on second in their semi final so I can't see them being in the second half of the final. And last year Connie and Paul Potts followed each other even though they were both singers.

I think Kate and Gin could be going second, though. It largely depends on whether they decide to put in something light before the grand finale. For me, they would be ideal but I'd agree that the producers might not. If they wanted to pour scorn on the critics, they could run it in order of shows: Part 1: Signature Kate and Gin Part 2: Cheeky Monkeys Andrew Johnson Part 3: Strike George Sampson Part 4: Andrew Muir Faryl Smith Part 5: Nemesis Escala That's actually not too bad. The only obvious problem I can see is that Andrew Muir isn't going to be one of the stars and yet he is in among them where that slot should really be building the tension. And so far, the producers have shown no fear of the "fix" theorists so I'm not sure that will be on their minds. |

I really don't know.
If it was up to simon Faryl would be last, Piers would put escala last and Amanda would put George last! Maybe they'll toss a coin for it? |

I'd assume Faryl last ... maybe Escala, but like someone said, the idea of a song closing the show might be more traditional. Anyway, I think Faryl, George and Escala will be the last three in some order, unless they're going to try and balance the show up a bit more.
It's difficult, because although I don't think that going last means you win, I do think coming later is an obvious advantage, but at the same time they'll want a good opening. |

Well basically, irrespective of starting position, the bookies think its a foregone conclusion - either Faryl or Scala.

Either Faryl or Escala last. They seem to be Simon's favourites.
Hopefully the Cheeky Monkeys first to get them over and done with. |

i think George has a shot at it too.
I think it's Faryl vs Escala vs George Andrew and Signature have a chance if they pull out something really special. But I think it will all come down to the performances on the night which should make for a great final. |

Indeed, he won on the night with the highest vote total and the judges all fawned over him.
