Like Simon said Diana's like Marmite , people like Eoghan and Austin are going to be more appealing to more voters and plus young boys usually do well in this sort of competition

Austin is looking like a good bet, I'm pretty certain that he'll win so I'll consider putting my EMA on him when I get it.

Yeah but she is the fave on this forum and DS it looks like. Not sure if the general public actually generally like her or not.

Not sure why. I think she is underated. She is this years Nicky. Nicky was 2nd least fave before the first show, and then after Show 4, she became fave for 2 weeks or something, and lasted a long time.

Because nobody is going to vote for her. What demographic does she appeal to? She doesn't have a sob story, she doesn't even havea regional vote, she's one of the performers that will only get through on good performances, whereas Austin and the likes would get through on a below par performance, but Ruth won't.

Because it is pretty clear that Ruth isn't going to win, she could get far but is not winning material. The only people who have a shot at winning IMO are the ones up to Rachel on the odds, and even that is a stretch.

But Leon ended up in the Bottom 2 in Week 1, had odds of 40/1 to win, and he won overall.

By all we know, Ruth could win.... Girl Band could... i doubt it, but its possible.

True

I think she should be above Rachel in the odds though

No, after Show 1, he was at the bottom end. He only came above 15/1 after about Week 4/5. Futureproof and Nicky were the faves

I have a feeling Girlband won't go next week. Because last night the girl group voters were split between BL and GB but now there's only one girl group, I can see them surviving for a little while. It's fantastic that all of Cheryl's acts are in the top three.

A band wont go out for a few weeks now, producers will make sure of that. Scott, Daniel and Ruth will be in the most danger of going next week.

Scott is safe. He'll get a great song next week and wow everyone. Ruth v Daniel, Daniel out.
Then it'll go Ruth v Girlband = Girlband out.
