I think Sharon should remain an "impartial" judge, Hope are doing well as they are and shouldn't be split up. I agree she's been the unluckiest judge this year and didn't have any chance of winning with Alisha, all the others have strong acts left in the contest (i.e. Rhydian, Beverley and Hope).

Sharon will most likely have the deciding vote when it comes to the bottom 2 before the decision is based on public vote alone.
