Am I right in thinking the top 4 last year were never in the bottom 2 so wonder if it could happen again this year

Yup, that's right. Niki, SD, Rhydian and Leon were never bottom 2 last year.

That's why when it came to the final 5 it was almost obvious that Hope would be gone.

We still have 5 acts who haven't been in the bottom 2 yet - Diana, Laura, Alex, Eoghan and JLS.

It usually does end that the finalists have a clean sweep of never being bottom but I don't know if it will go that way this year. At least I hope not because -

That is exactly what I would like to happen too. (If by that you mean Eoghan going home soon lol)

Diana, Ruth and Laura for final, imo.
JLS would probably make it good but I wouldn't want to lose Diana or Ruth for them and I can't see Laura losing out to them.

I got this feeling the final 2 will be Diana and Alex

Well a couple of years ago we had a top 3 (order of winner to 3rd):

Leon > Ray > Ben


Ray had been in the bottom two and I think (if I remember correctly) Ben had been as well. So it doesn't always go like that.


I would like to see any combination of Diana, Laura, Ruth or Alex in the final 3 and would be happy for any 3 to win. I think if we did get a top 4 of Diana, Laura, Ruth and Alex it would throw the final open more than any other year. It would be difficult to call as it could potentially shake some assumptions people are making.

A bottom 2 act can easily make the final but will never win. So that means Ruth, Daniel and Rachel are out the running.

I think the Top 5 this year will be Diana, Laura, Eoghan, Alexandra and JLS.

Thats not necessarily true. Just because its not happened before, doesn't mean it never will.

An act could pick up momentum and build a fanbase; with fans of other acts being elimiated moving over to that act and give them a stronger fanbase. Also a strong act who is favourite could loose momentum and start to get boring and slow down. I know fanbases are fanatical online but I think it would be naieve to assume guaging the online fanbases to be gospel for how the show will turn out.


I would say, being in the bottom two later makes it impossible or highly unlikely to win, but if someone was in the bottom two within say, the first 3 shows I would not rule out the possibility.

That said, I don't think it will happen this year, I think this years winner is quite clearly between Diana and Laura BUT Alex and Ruth are building some significant fanbases and I would not shocked if one of those two won it.

Would anyone be dismayed if Ruth won? I think its plausable given she would not have a regional fanbase at the start of the live shows.

Ruth being in the bottom 2 actually HELPED her chances methinks. It gave her a chance to show us her Purple Rain, which has been the performance of the series so far.

Agreed !

Also agree with that
