I've been thinking it through a bit and I don't think this is entirely inconceivable. Ella, James and Jahmene (the golden trio) are safe regardless of what happens, Rylan I think is now destined for 6th place as he'll have the rebound vote next week, and so what it all boils down to is the real strength of Chris' popularity, which I do think we may be underestimating. I don't see him winning but there have now been numerous occasions where he should and could've been in the bottom two and he hasn't. If he survives next week which I do think is possible then both boybands could land in the bottom two as a result of fan complacency, poor performances, split vote and lack of support in comparison to other finalists.

The most interesting question is what it would result in. I'd sense a deadlock but which way would Louis vote (if at all) and would they go to him last for maximum drama? I'd prefer all this not to happen but I just get a sense this could be what's impending.
