fight for second place?
 

Is it a onehorse race now with Joe? I think the most exciting thing about the final will be who will make it to second place? Olly or Stacey?

Paddy Power have it was Joe as 4/11 with Olly and Stacey join at 9/2.

I think so Arneldo! Would love Stacey to get as far as possible, but shes in the final and I hope that she gets the opportunity to produce an album :)

I would find it funny if Joe actually comes 3rd...

i want Olly to get second, more than i want him to actually win!
i think second would be the best for Olly
partly because i dont want him to have that god awful song as his first single

I really hope Olly finishes 2nd. I actually think he'll do better if he does anyway! Look at JLS, didn't do them any harm and I actually think Olly would be better off not having to have that awful winners song as his first release, it's so not his style.

I do think Joe could come third. If Olly and Stacey fans fight to get their favourite in the final 2, Joe fans could assume he's safe - and BOOM! ... He's out.

If he came third, it would be great for the show on Sunday, everybody will tune in to see the race between Stace and Olly, as their odds are so close! Would be excellent, Joe, I like, but its predictable and not really that exciting.

exactly!

Joe better not be 3rd.
it would not be funny at all!

Lol yeah I dont mind who wins because I like all 3 of them. They are all likeable but now.. just to spice up the show a bit more.. Joe should come 3rd.

Tbh i wouldn't even watch Sunday, if he goes on saturday..

Is that how they are doing it? 3rd place saturday.. 1st and 2nd on sunday?

Yeh i think so..

yes, which is why i want olly to at least come second because ill be away on saturday!

Best outcome
stacey>olly>joe

This.
I can't watch on Sunday anyway so i won't even know if he wins :/

No pressure on Stacey at all this week. Girls are doing well in the charts, whether they win these shows or not. Su Bo and Farryl didn't win their shows either. Look at them.
Love it if she did win though, just to put one over Cowell and his pro-male stance this year.

As I think they're all nice people, this is the order I'd like them to finish in based on who needs it the most:

1st Joe - he'll record the winner's song and it'll sound really good, he's been consistent throughout the competition and deserves it.
2nd Olly - he could also have a successful music career, I believe, he is the only one of the three who will make a good pop star, but releasing The Climb would destroy that image, so he needs to come 2nd.
3rd Stacey - she'll be some kind of media personality, maybe she could take over the Xtra Factor hosting position?
