Not surprised about Chico being fave to go on Saturday, but I would expect Journey South to last a bit longer!

i don't really listen to the betting because i bet maria and nickolas were strong favorites at one point but i do think its Chicos time to go this week

I fully expect Chico to go on Saturday. I'm surprised that Brenda is shorter odds to win than Journey South, though. I can't see her appeal at all.

I'm surprised by that too. I liked Brenda a lot when it started, but I think her most recent performance have not been so good. And I would have thought that Journey South would have a wider appeal than Brenda.

If Chico doesn't go on Saturday, I will be absolutely amazed!

I think Brenda was brilliant for the first few weeks, but her most recent performances have not been so good. I don't think Journey South have had a bad week yet.

Someone told me about a poll they had seen (I forget where it was, but I'll try and find out) and Journey South actually came out as the most popular act! Suits me!:spin2:

you got to remember tho the bookies have nothing to do with it, people just place there money on who they think will win
