Well,they threw the kitchen sink at trying to keep Rylan out of the bottom 2 and failed this week,having to resort to some TV Gold moments in the sing-off to save him.Question is....does he get the traditional bounce this week,or is he so unlikable and useless that he's a bottom 2 certainty?
If he is bottom 2 would they have the neck to save him again?

Mel wasted her pimp somewhat. It'll be interesting when we get the voting, if you fluff your pimp it could be worse now voting is open. Can't think many people would put that as their fav performance, nothing in vt to encourage voting. Terrible styling imo and as I've wrote think the milf comment was unhelpful.

This is from the same poll on the same day Lou. it seems the responders dont view it so much as a singing contest as you do

haha hemsby enjoyed that post!

and the tvpolls which tv shows do you use. i tend not to take notice but that LM stat could sway me over!

and i now know its mk2 and district 3, x factor tbf has got a wide range of acts this year so it will be interesting from that point. thats why i have district3 down as dead dogs as theres alot of diversity and their just surplus, theres no need for a potential battle of the bands as theyve got too many different acts imho.
