Well? If there is a Double Elimination, assuming they're sticking to the same format - this would mean that only two acts would be automatically 'saved' during the results, and, in theory - these, you would think, would eventually end up being the final two during the Final...rendering the remaining two weeks a little pointless and predictable. Now of course they could have a Double Elimination without a sing-off, but would they really risk that entirely on a public vote? I would think [and hope] not. Which could mean we could have four acts in the Final...

Two other questions:

Does anyone else think Mary is now in with a chance of making the Final [assuming it's a four-act Final], as she should, theoretically, receive a rebound vote this week. And who would she be spared for? Cher? One Direction? Can't see it being anyone else, personally..

Finally - had Mary polled the least votes last night, and had Katie then surivived the sing-off, is it possible that she could've then received enough rebound votes to ensure her place in a hypothetical four-act Final? Again, I expect she'd have had to have been spared at the expense of Cher or One Direction, but does anyone think this would've been possible? Just curious.
