What does everyone think will be the running order tomorrow? I'm gonna go for:

1. Nemisis
2. Andrew Muir
3. Cheeky Monkeys
4. Andrew Johnston
5. Kate and Gin
6. Strike
7. George Sampson
8. Signature
9. Faryl
10. Escala

Swap Strike & Kate & Gin and I agree

Yeah you could be right. Both were on second in their semis so they could swap. I'm also unsure whether Faryl or Escala will be last.

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

Nope I expect Escala- I think Simon wants them to win. Well I do anyway

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.

Escala will be on last.

Simon will already have them signed up.

Because Faryl will be singing a ballad, I think she will be better suited to bringing the house down with the closing performance (assuming she is allowed to belt out a bit more).

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.

But I think Andrew J and Faryl are too similar to be together and Andrew M won't get a slot near the end. Last year they only had 6 acts so the ability to spread them out was limited as well. The only other option is if they try to make it a battle between the two (I don't think they will) they might put them second last and last.

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.

Yeah that would be a good order actually!

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.

i think George has a shot at it too.

starting position maters less now that the people will have an hour to vote tommorrow rather than 10 mins

Either Faryl or Escala last. They seem to be Simon's favourites.

Hopefully the Cheeky Monkeys first to get them over and done with.

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

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.

Was that the highest vote % out of all the semi-finals?

Who else would like to see the look on the judges faces if Cheeky Monkeys win

I totally agree with all of the above.

1.Dance act runner up
2.Runner up
3.Dance Act runner up
4.Runner up
5.Dance Act Runner up

We then have the 5 winners with Cowell leaving his personal favourite till last. It wont be Signature.

No, they didn't release that. But they said on the night that it was the biggest vote so far (and if they had topped it since they would have mentioned) so he must have got a fair number. It was a tough night that he was on as well.

1. Andrew Muir
2. Cheeky Monkeys
3. Nemisis
4. Andrew Johnston
5. Kate and Gin
6. Strike
7. Faryl
8. Signature
9. George Sampson
10. Escala

George did have the biggest voting night, if the judges want him to lose he wont be on anywhere near last and could poor boy be on first.

Mine would be:

1.Strike
2.Cheeky Monkeys
3.Andrew Muir
4.Kate and Gin
5.Signature
6.Nemisis
7.Andrew Johnston
8.Escala
9.George Sampson
10.Faryl Smith
