[Black Dagger]

To be fair, if One Direction can't win, who had ****ing obsessed, strange fans who voted in their droves, I don't see how Lil Mix can?

Hope they do though, it'd be nice for a likeable girl-group to break the curse.

Another great point, 1D had MUCH more support and still didn't win - no chance for these girls

You have to bear in mind though, when we had the top 5 of last series, we only had Cher who had been in the bottom two before; Mary, Matt, Rebecca and 1D had all avoided it up until then. Then Mary was put out, so the final had a three horse race as opposed to the usual two horse race with third place being predictable - whereas this year we've been left with a top 4 that has two acts who have yet to appear in the bottom two, thus suggesting they have strong support, and two acts who have (one on more than one occasion) - so the chances are, they are at least going to reach the top two. I get the feeling that Marcus' support has been growing over the weeks and he'll end up being the dark horse winner, but at this moment in time I think both Marcus and Little Mix are probably on a similar playing field (Marcus maybe in the 30-40% of the vote bracket in Little Mix in the 20%-30% bracket) and when it comes down to the final, things really heat up. Support gets transferred on the final night. Rebecca seriously narrowed the gap on Matt Cardle in the final last year.
