Do they even have time for an elimination tonight? 90 minutes for 12 songs idk

[Brother Leon]

This is such an anthem.

[Morgan.]

Anthony can't actually sing well don't @ me

[Jack_]

Is the final in an arena this year? I swear they haven’t mentioned it once

Or is it like last year where they’ve got some budget venue and don’t want to reference it till the last ten minutes

[Ross.]

Me and Hayden are Scarlett and Danny bopping upstairs

The funny thing is it’s a realistic outcome tonight :skull:

Don’t see A&A or Danny making it past tonight, Scarlett a shock elimination tomorrow

[Headie]

Surely we can't fit 7 performances and a double elimination into 45 minutes?

It's only 1 song each

[thisisdanny]

It's only 1 song each

What about the ABBA songs? :conf::conf::conf:

[Wizard.]

Mess not Louis thinking this is BB throwing the word "gameplaying" out there for no reason whatsoever

Right so someone who was going to vote for Anthony isn’t now because Ayda said it was the wrong song? Louis is the only one game playing getting his fans to vote for his acts and now acting the victim so girls spend more of mummy and daddy’s money on them.

[Ross.]

So what’s happening after Scarlett’s performance? Is there a guest or

[Jack_]

bye not 1 song

Scarlett tries to be Jesy so bad

[Morgan.]

I'm so confused there's 45 minutes left and just an elimination what's happening

[thisisdanny]

I'm so confused there's 45 minutes left and just an elimination what's happening

Something to do with ABBA apparently

[Headie]

[Ross.]

I’m the fake cry in the middle of the song

[Headie]

Right so someone who was going to vote for Anthony isn’t now because Ayda said it was the wrong song? Louis is the only one game playing getting his fans to vote for his acts and now acting the victim so girls spend more of mummy and daddy’s money on them.

[RileyH]

The Louis stans on Twitter are horrendous

[Jigs]

Louis has infuriated me all season with his horrible bias and arrogant stankness. You ain't all that, buttercup x

[Ross.]

For a semi final the performances were really forgettable

A&A are the only ones that gave their best

[Morgan.]

Yas at the group performance back

[Headie]

Yas at the group performance back

I was about to say this but it looks like it's gonna be a medley with 30 second solos from each act :skull:

[Ross.]

Yas at the group performance back

I’d rather a second song though!

[Headie]

I hope A&A take Anthony or Brendan down with them tonight

[Morgan.]

He obviously loved Brendan ugh

[Ant.]

SOS is probably my favourite song. I think it'll be the song I die to

[Ant.]

Love that Danny had to share his solo with everyone

[Ant.]

He's looking out for me :love:

[Headie]

"Having you here is such an honour because this is what it's all about"

The X Factor is about ABBA?

[Wizard.]

Not a Dancing Queen mention for Ant

:joker:

[Ross.]

We deserved a full version of A&A’s Money Money Money performance!

[Morgan.]

We deserved a full version of A&A’s Money Money Money performance!

We'd really did

[Jack_]

That was GLORIOUS :love: :love:

If nothing else at least this dreadful series has given us one of the best group performances of all time <3

[Ant.]

It was cute but A&A's Money Money cover was too short and there was NO dancing Queen

Also Brendan performed :umm2: :umm2: vile

Adam and Caprimint eating their words?

[Headie]

Squeaky bores be gone!

[Jigs]

[Ant.]

After the awful result that was last week THANK GOD tonight happened

[Mitchell]

Anthony is such a **** it’s unreal

[Headie]

Here for us getting Acacia & Aaliyah into the final :clap1:

[Denver]

A&A are the reason the show struggles to date 4 million

[Ant.]

Acacia and Aaliyah could win this

[Morgan.]

The best result since week 1!

[Wizard.]

Anthony to go tomorrow and it would be one of the best finals ever

[Morgan.]

We have at least 3

2 more performances at least from Acacia and Aaliyah :clap1: And potentially 5 or 6 at most :flutter:

[Brother Leon]

A&A and Anthony sing off tomorrow then.

[Jigs]

A&A to have the Little Mix "Don't Let Go" effect?

[RileyH]

As if A&A made it through :joker:

[Headie]

A&A are the reason the show struggles to date 4 million

We love Top 4 queens

[HungarianGuy]

Yaaay A & A. The weakest two went home.

[Denver]

We love Top 4 queens

And flops because if the bad arrutude

[HungarianGuy]

A&A are the reason the show struggles to date 4 million

It must be hard for you that they are in Top 4. Bye, gurl!

[Jack_]

I am GOBSMACKED at A&A in the top 4

There has been some shock results this series

[Ant.]

I just voted for Acacia and Aaliyah because I love myself

[Ant.]

I am GOBSMACKED at A&A in the top 4

There has been some shock results this series

It's not a shock THEYRE WINNERS!!

[Headie]

And flops because if the bad arrutude

6th place losers can't relate!

[Ross.]

If A&A AND Scarlett make the final I’m posting in MTM!

[Denver]

Scarlett is gonna be crowed the winner deal with it

[HungarianGuy]

Scarlett is gonna be crowed the winner deal with it

Her or Dalton. And both would be deserving.

[Headie]

I am GOBSMACKED at A&A in the top 4

There has been some shock results this series

Them being the first to survive 3 consecutive bottom two's, lowkey wish tonight had been the usual format because they could've done another sing off and survived on deadlock again :joker:

[Ross.]

Dalton, Scarlett and A&A is the final 3 we deserve

[Denver]

Scarlett is the only genuine person left

[Ant.]

Dalton, Scarlett and A&A is the final 3 we deserve

Let's get Scarlett to plant some coke on Anthony and get him kickd out

[Wizard.]

skip to 3:42 for talent

P0yLWaCt0LM

[brat.]

ah was watching live but me brother was working on t'laptop but SLAY @ A&A

[Kargo]

The producers threw Brendan under the bus, I watched on the 12.5w satellite feed with the production talkback track on a separate audio channel and one of the gallery members actually said "Dalton's been swapped with Brendan, so that should seal his fate". On checking, the preliminary order had Dalton performing first and during the Strictly cross-over - the change was obviously planned.

According to various posts on twitter, some viewers in ROI were unable to vote for the first time. This obviously would have massively impacted votes for Brendan. I imagine when (or if) the voting results are published we'll see a significant decrease in votes for Brendan for this week.

Unfortunately, its little tactics like this which gives the producers the power they need to influence the result and give them the final they want.

[HungarianGuy]

Well Scarlett performed first last week and she still made the cut. I'm not at all that shocked that someone who was 12th in Week 2, did not make it to the final.

[Kargo]

Thats true, though I'm just as surprised to see an act who have been bottom three in 3 consecutive weeks make the final 4.

[brat.]

could you imagine an A&A, Scarlett and Dalton final WOW

[HungarianGuy]

Thats true, though I'm just as surprised to see an act who have been bottom three in 3 consecutive weeks make the final 4.

I'm not shocked at all. The girls did great in the last few weeks and some others (Bella, Misunderstood, United Vibe, Brendan, Danny) had weak rounds. The weekly performance is really important. Also the girls have the "victim" factor going on at this point. The audience have started to root for them.

[HungarianGuy]

One more thing. There is no such thing a grudge against a contender. They have no interest to kick out Brendan or save A & A. They want what the audience want, because that's how they make money out of the show and the performers later on.

[brat.]

[Kargo]

Very easily! If you have a motorised satellite dish you just point it to the satellite and frequency that ITV are using to receive the show at their headquarters. They then process it for distribution to TV (about 10 second delay).

The advantage of picking up the direct feed is you have no on-screen logos, full HD resolution and access to the talkback track.

Not going to lie I ****ing screamed.

[HungarianGuy]

What are they going to sing?

[Moniqua]

praying for my girls! :love:

[Ross.]

Oh wow are they performing again

[Ross.]

Oh they’re not

[Denver]

Oh they’re not

Silly Silly girl

[Ross.]

Back off I thought it was just “Oh I’d really love to make the final :)” VT’s

[Ross.]

For once I want A&A to repeat a performance and do Money Money Money in full

[HungarianGuy]

A & A have no shot to make it to Top 2 so they definitely going to perform in a sing-off... I just wish it would be Anthony and the judges would put it to a deadlock.

[Moniqua]

EAT MY WEAVE :joker::joker:

[HungarianGuy]

Is Ayda okay?

[Ross.]

Anthony would win the sing off if it was him and A&A

Then the voting would reveal A&A actually got top 3 </3

[Denver]

Scarlett Lee is the only talent left

[Moniqua]

ah REALLY wanna see a&a get their own bus omg!!! :love:

[HungarianGuy]

Anthony would win the sing off if it was him and A&A

Then the voting would reveal A&A actually got top 3 </3

The fair would be to put it to deadlock. No matter who are in the sing off. :)

[Denver]

ah REALLY wanna see a&a get their own bus omg!!! :love:

Can they even afford buses this year?

[Moniqua]

big for your boots again omg :joker:

[Denver]

Not the same song for the 5th time

[Jigs]

not big for your boots AGAIN?????

[Brother Leon]

Big For Your Boots
A Skepta song.

Rinse and Repat. Yawn...


Edit: They actually did a Skepta song again right after :joker:

[HungarianGuy]

lol i love these twoooooo repeat performance again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wizard.]

MESS just as I start rooting for A&A they’ve done Shut Down for the fourth time. They deserve to go.

[Denver]

This is why they dont deserve to be in the final

[Ross.]

What a SCREAM that they’ve made the top 4 when they repeat all their performances :love:

[HungarianGuy]

To be fair they were in the Bottom way too many times and they are still children, its probably a lot of work to learn new stuff.

[Ross.]

The sing off performance better be Money Money Money

[Moniqua]

preach it simon omg :love:

[Brother Leon]

At least do Man or That's Not Me from Skepta and mix it up slightly man.

[HungarianGuy]

hahhaa i bet on the Week 2 performance for the sing off lol

[Denver]

To be fair they were in the Bottom way too many times and they are still children, its probably a lot of work to learn new stuff.

Bull**** children they have had many young people in the lives

[Morgan.]

Mess they'd win the Sing Off wouldn't they

[Brother Leon]

Scarlett Lee is the only talent left

She's not fit to polish Dalton's shoes.

[Denver]

They are desperate for a duet with Stormzy but he only touches talent

[Adamw92]

A mash up of 2 songs they’ve done like 15 times each... will they be singing Bang Bang in the sing off too?

[Jigs]

I can't believe my queens have recycled the same 3 performances for the whole season <3

[Moniqua]

Robbie, Ayda and Simon would all be behind A&A in the bottom two so fingers crossed they won't be there with Scarlett!

[Ross.]

If they make the final I’ll scream

[Babayaro.]

All they ****ing sing is Stormzy wtf??

How have the judges not picked up on that yet? It's a joke that they've made it this far.

[Denver]

Not being funny but if Simon wants credibility e has to get away with joke acts like them

[Babayaro.]

Lmfao it wasn't even stormzy soz

[HungarianGuy]

Bull**** children they have had many young people in the lives

Not this young. Or yes? I dunno X-history. But its a short show. And you know the real artists can always repeat their old stuff and generate the same atmosphere.

[Babayaro.]

But im sure i've heard them sing those two songs loads

[Wizard.]

Mess at Rak Su on the Coca Cola advert how much did Simon pay them?

[Amy Jade]

I hope the druggy is in the bottom 2 with A&A

I think Simon would save A&A after his comments and Ayda would save Robbie's act if it was an 80 year old queefing war time favourites

[Adamw92]

Of all the talent they’ve had on the show over the years and they pick Rat Su for the Coca Cola advert?

[Brother Leon]

Lmfao it wasn't even stormzy soz

The first song was.

2nd was Skepta.

[Denver]

Lmfao it wasn't even stormzy soz

One of the songs was

[Ross.]

Scarlett needs to give her best performance to stop Anthony snatching her 2nd place spot

[Vanessa]

Dalton is just amazing. I want to go to the live tour just to see him perform live :flutter:

[Babayaro.]

The first song was.

2nd was Skepta.

Ah I thought so. It's absolutely ridiculous though. In past series they would have been slated for this (as would their mentor) but now the judges are too soft - even Simon.

[HungarianGuy]

I think A & A have only shot against Anthony. Scarlett and Dalton would win the sing off by the majority of judges vote.

[Wizard.]

She needs to duet with Adele

[Jigs]

A&A to make the final and do a mashup of Bang Bang/Blinded By Your Grace

[Ross.]

When was the last time this show had more than one female in the final :skull:

Last I remember is 2011 with Little Mix and Amelia

[Amy Jade]

I doubt many scousers feel he represents them.

Most scousers are absolutely lovely

[Jigs]

MESS Anthony singing another footie hooligan anthem

[Beastie]

Anthony is annoying. He best get the boot.

[Morgan.]

This is crap

[Denver]

Anthony is 10x a singer then the talentless twerps just on

[Wizard.]

Sick of Anthony and his fake band in the background

[Moniqua]

putrid

[Amy Jade]

Louis looking at him lustfully then, no?

[Ross.]

Okay A&A aren’t going to make the final

[Moniqua]

Anthony is 10x a singer then the talentless twerps just on

than

[Denver]

Mess at them all saying they all should make the final.

Take sides and be a woman

[Morgan.]

Yas put them all through

[Jack_]

a scream if they actually cancelled the vote

[Babayaro.]

Literay just shouted "**** OFF" at Robbie calling him the people's champion again.

These judges are awful.

[Ross.]

Why didn’t you think of having 4 in the final before now instead of a ****ing triple elimination!

[Amy Jade]

Anthony looking sweaty. Withdrawals?

[Jack_]

LOL Dermot shading the endless yearly changes :love:

[Jigs]

Imagine he just changes the rules and has a 5 person finale featuring Shan Ako

[Ross.]

a scream if they actually cancelled the vote

Simon to give Shan the final spot just because he can?

[Wizard.]

Why didn’t you think of having 4 in the final before now instead of a ****ing triple elimination!

These producers are worse than the producers of Channel 5 Big Brother 2011-16

[Wizard.]

Whitneyyy :love:

[Denver]

I hope Dianne Warren cries again

[Denver]

Scarlett is amazing

[Babayaro.]

The song choices have been abysmal tonight (including Dalton's). None of them scream 'songs to get you into the final'. It's killed all excitement tbh.

[Moniqua]

Anthony............

https://media1.tenor.com/images/f483bd95db9d08e35b1390cfe491f23f/tenor.gif

[Jack_]

screaming at that shot of Simon grinning

That made me laugh :joker:

[Jigs]

I hope Dianne Warren cries again

LMAO an iconic overreaction

[Amy Jade]

Oh wow Scarlett was amazing fair play
