We are missing Girlband (http://xfactor.itv.com/finalists.htm) but they are so terrible I think they'll get the boot in the next couple of weeks. Let's keep the market open and if Girlband wins we'll void it (and then I'll leave the country).

ha. I love the way Nigel pretends he read up the finalists on the internet. We all know you've watched every episode and that Girlband are your personal favourite
I've edited Danny to read 'Other' to include Girlband. Despite my own perchance for the generic named group they are 150/1 with the bookies.

I thought Alexandra Burke was a good bet for this after her audition. In the finals she seems to be getting better each week. IF she ever gets in the bottom two then its hard to see her being booted off by the Judges - not Louis Walsh anyway after he stopped her a few years ago. There have been a couple of shocks recently but I think Alexandra should safely make the final at the very least.
@olbg - I think you're spot on. Diana seems to be way too fragile to win. you need to be tough if you're going to make it in showbiz (I guess!) and the judges know that. Diana was a wreck on Saturday night. She can sing tho!

Because he is savvy, clever and hard working. There is nothing wrong with that. All the participants of X-Factor can read their contract, if they don't understand it they can ask a lawyer or the citizen advice bureau if they don't have their own. If they
