    Well they could be laid off now; 16/1 on the Exchange and as low as 10/1 with the bookies. This is so much easier than horse racing (even with a couple of bets going astray)

    Yep. As I said stick, it was only a matter of time. No way can Andrea win. She was the standout performer last nigh and the 8 piece were good also. Fleur is like an already established star. Reminds me of Diana Ross sometimes.

    Unfortunately he stays in but that had to be expected. Bye Stevie. PP now offering 3/1 Andrea. No thanks.

    Glad I backed Fleur last week at 10/3 - I think she is the standout performer

    I had a bit of a Christmas treble yesterday:

    Fleur to win X Factor - evens
    Jimmy Bullard to win I'm A Celebrity - 4/5
    Ronnie O'Sullivan to win Uk Championship - 9/4

    Pays 10.7/1

    Hate to say it but Andrea's version of Wrecking Ball as very good (final material). That may even keep him out of the bottom 2 (his first song wouldn't have).

    Ben didn't have the best of song choices and that could place him in the bottom 2.

    Lauren is a cert to go out this week and Fleur is a cert to be in the final. She is without doubt the star of the show.

    Well we have the shoot out tonight. As predicted from Day 1, Andrea will not be figuring in it. But 2 of my favourites will be. Fleur was odds on fav prior to last night but Ben gave a brilliant performance and he ended up the evening odds on fav.

    It's too close to call. They have both improved tremendously since the auditions and either would be deserving winners.

    This is a no bet final for me. Either could win and I wouldn't begrudge either one. It will depend on the song choices and performances on the night. Hopefully they will both give performances they are capable of and don't let themselves down. Both have futures.

    She'll have to pull out the stops after that performance by Ben. This is an exceptional final and for once I don't care who wins.

    Ben has got this. The "winner's song" clearly suited him better.

    The winners song clearly suited Ben better, I think Fleur will go on to have the better career

    Yes, she is definitely star material. I think Ben could do quite well also.
