While I'm sure either Diana or Laura will win. I think Ruth should not be underestimated. I've just watched the whole show back and aside from the two girls she really stood out. I think the GB public will endear to her.

I really dont think anyone is going to vote for her. What demographic does she appeal to? She doesn't have a sob story, she doesn't even havea regional vote, she's one of the performers that will only get through on good performances, whereas Austin and the likes would get through on a below par performance, but Ruth won't.
I do love her though, she is a great talent

This is what I always thought she'd suffer with but I think her likeable will see her through. If she plays it right she could be Dannii's last standing contestant and make top 4. If it came to a vote off with her and Austin I think Ruth would be saved by the judges.

I certainly think so, she has the look and she has the voice, she is also something unique that has not been seen on the show before, and it could take her far in the competition, I think it is possible for her to make the finale if she can go as far as win I’m not sure I certainly hope so thought.

Shes really captivating when she sings, she might not have the voice of laura but she is more endearing.

She's nothing that special in my humble opinion. She may well up her game consistently as the weeks progress but she hasn't wowed me in any shape or form yet.

I think she should do rock she would be fierce! Simon didnt want Dannii to let Ruth do it, but people will get bored if she keeps doing slow songs.

I find Ruth one of the biggest wastes of time on the XF. Akin to Verity (sorry thms).

I do love Ruth but can't see her doing that well in the competition. There's no way she'll win.

She could be a dark horse, she reminds me of nikki last year- not that she was ever going to win, but the same is with ruth this year, think she will be the nikki of last year, she aint gonna win.

♠She may well be the dark horse. There's a richness to her voice, although it's not the best. I'd love to hear her do a J Lo Celine Dion Madonna's Spanish song and a Shakira song. She has to do Hips Don't Lie. I like her she is humble and she has a vulnerability about her. She is not one of the obvious front runners but she is above average with the right song as last night proved IMHO

I really like her, but there are so many talanted (and more high profile) female vocalists in the competition this year and the majority of the viewers seem to have no time for female vocalists at the best of times, so it is hard to see where the votes will come from.

I hate the song Take My Breath Away- hope Dannii chooses something better next week.

I'd completely forgotten her (still can't put a face to her actually ), and personally I think Ruth is equally forgettable, I hope that singing part of the song in spanish won't happen every week, it's going to get annoying

I agree! and if she carries on giving performances like she did last night, then I wish her every success!

Not a chance, IMO.

Diana has actually picked up so much popularity so quickly that with just one week down, she isn't necessarily a dark horse anymore, but a contender.

I can't really see a dark horse this year, tbh. Although after last year, I suppose everyone is in with a chance.

I can't see Ruth going very far. Her performance last night was very poor.
