So McDonalds in the final then.

Very interesting that the judges no longer have a vote.

On This Morning the viewers vote had Leona first, Ben second and The Macdonalds third.

I don't often watch X factor but hear or read about it most weeks, heard the clips from last weekend on Moyles show on Monday. Eton Road did sound awful (one of the members of the team called it one of the worst X factor performances ever). Given the reaction in the studio following their performance on the night, it does make me think that those in the studio hear a different performance to the one that goes out on TV too. I was amazing the cheer that Eton Road got afterwards.

And Simon did contradict himself when making the final choice, saying it was based on who he thinks will progress further NOT on the best performance on the night.

I'm not sure what you mean, the judges make the final choice for those in the bottom 2 don't they?

[ManicKangaroo]

Not any more

[Tom]

Does it change from now on then? Because from what I've seen throughout each week for the final 12 the judges have saved someone in the bottom 2.

[ManicKangaroo]

Yes, thats what 'not any more' means

You're right, up until now the judges have been given the choice - now its just public votes

Ray is surely toast this week

What he actually said, when making his decision, was that Eton Road were much better the second time, and based on performance it was pretty much neck and neck. He then went on to say that he had to choose based on longevity, given that the perfomances were equal.

So it wasn't a contradiction, it was just an extension.

Hopefully . Pretty dodgy song choices too - Jailhouse Rock and The Way You Look Tonight.

Ben looks very solid this week - Live and Let Die and Your Song

Eton Rd - Somebody To Love and Can You Feel The Love Tonight

Leona is apparently ill this week and hasn't been able to practice, but will sing Lady Marmalade and I Will Always Love You. Could be great, could be a disaster if she isn't 100%

MacDs are playing their trump card this week - one of their performances will be 500 Miles, the other When You Say Nothing At All (I thought Louis had fallen out with Ronan)

Ray is the bookies favourite to go!!

Ray doesn't have the power for TWYLT

Ben cashing in on Bond

Leona lovely choices

Don't like Eton Rd's choices. Didn't G4 tackle both of those?

Maccy D's should do 500 Miles second!

[Paul]

G4 did Circle of Life rather than CYFTLT. Probably the finest ever X Factor performance but somehow found them in the bottom 2

[Thor]

Very dull, is it movie week? I'm finding it hard working out the themes

Wasn't Mariah supposed to be featuring this series?

[Paul]

It is supposed to be movie week, but some of those choices are only very tenuously related to films, like 500 Miles

There were a lot of rumours about special guests, including Mariah, Robbie, Elton and hilariously Steve Brookstein. I presume none of them were true though. Take That and Barry Manilow are apparently appearing in future episodes.

[Thor]

Well the Mariah one seemed to be true because they've been using her songs throughout the series

oops, sorry

[ManicKangaroo]

Barry Manilow should really be this week as his album is out on Monday

I assume it will be next week then and it will be 6os week

[Thor]

Is anyone else still really missing the Unconventionals?
