Default Coincidence?
Do you think it's a coincidence that Cheryl's been given the strongest category this year? Dannii Minogue won with Leon last year; in her first year as a judge. Is this some new, bizarre way to prove that the judges are qualified to pass judgments? Find out next time, on the FiX Factor!

well i think she will win if not then its a travesty because her 3 girls are by far the best catgeory this year, not really suprised, i'd rather she won because then at least each judge has won at least once, tho simon's won twice so far

Cheryl's got the strongest category for sure and she knew it as soon as she got it. I don't think the boys were that strong last year. If it wasn't for Sharon's ineptitude then a girl might have done well last year. The over 25 was probably the strongest category last year with Nikki and Beverley but they got Louis as their mentor. What rotten luck for them.

I agree with you about last series, had it not been for Sharon and Louis' collective screw ups, there would not have been a final with Same Difference in it, that's for sure.

It was painful watching Same Difference go through week after week after week.

You know this how? have you seen the polls/bookies/Facebook?

Cheryl has the strongest category, all 3 girls are the best singers, if she doesn't win it will be a travesty IMO. The boys have nothing on the girls.

School is the key word. It tells you something about the audience she appeals to.

Anyway its not a coincidence. Its been clear from the start thats the strongest category and they probably want Cheryl to win to show its worth her being there.

Its not, they just gave Cheryl the strongest category to show she can win the programme. It wouldn't be any good hyping her up as the new judge then being lumbered with the groups would it?

The girls are by far the strongest category (even in the final 6, 4 of them deserved a place in the final 3 unlike other categories) so if Cheryl can't win with the girls, then she probably won't be able to win at all.

Yeah I agree Tom, it defo isn't a fix though. I really hope one of Cheryl's girls win, if not then I want JLS to win. Rachel has no chance of winning, I do like her though.

It's not fixed but it is strange how the new judge has landed the strongest category.
