It's a disgusting show and this manipulation is why they are losing viewers. I certainly wouldn't watch if I didn't have a financial interest in it. The funny thing is they haven't worked out that the dirty tricks are to the shows detriment, it's actually quite comical in that respect.

Anyway, I'm laying off £1k@1.9 on Fleur if anyone wants it. There is still too much negativity for her to win it and Ben's fans are just besotted by him.

By:
Laurens fans are going to vote Ben, they won't like last nights show at all. It was blatantly obvious what they were doing to the poor girl while at the same time promoting their prefered winner.

What is the moment you are all waiting for? The most profitable time is show in the final, at Wembley when they call their names out.
I went massive on James Arthur after his fans completely drowned out Jahméne's. It really was a landslide from that moment. The market took a while but did eventually wake up. |

Load of Bollox.
As the show started the voting figures for the series were tweeted and was posted on the ir thread I think more punters were convinced by that than some girly screams |
|
By:
I'm just saying the position I took. I can assure you I'm not lying. Jahmenes support with minimal compared to James and that is a profitable fact.

I refer you to the first line of my last post

I'll try and find it on YouTube for you...

You could just tell me to feck off and save yourself the bother
|

By:
lol, you wouldn't prefer the facts to back up my claim? It is difficult to find the opening ceremony.

By:
I'm pretty meh about it tbh

LUAF, you got it right with James Arthur, but going all-in on the crowd`s cheering has been proved, long term, to be an extremely effective route to the poorhouse. In fact, going AGAINST the crowd has often been some of my better plays, as people steam in, assuming the crowd is representative, and crashing prices to Sillyville.

B2 thread up.........

Big push from Lauren on Twitter to get votes,also from Cheryl.....first time Ive seen this from her.
|
|
By:
It was despicable stuff, hems. Begs the question, why did they allow her to defeat SK & not vote her off last week?
|
|
By:
the plan changed at the last moment when cowell did not want to be the bad guy imo, other wise sk would still be in and lauren out
|
|
By:
Yep...I think they were shames
|
|
By:
yep...I think they were shamed into it,when Lauren was so good in the sing off.
|
|
By:
I doubt it was last minute. I suspect SK were bottom by a long way and saving them yet again may have done damaged their chances of being successful after the show
|
|
By:
Cowell said on ITV2 he was going to save SK but changed his mind after the sing off.
|
|
By:
Cowell says lots of things. Very little of it I'd take seriously
|
|
By:
Easy enough to nobble Lauren in the sing off if they'd wanted to save SK. They've shown that this week and most weeks
|
|
By:
You re-tweeted him yesterday
 |
|
By:
I agree with mach that it was a last minute decision.
They were meant to go to Mel for the last decision but changed it to 2nd You could see she was shocked and confused |

I even retweeted James Jordan once and he talks absolute tosh most of the time
It was his 'Go Home Donny' tweet |

By:
Just checked the market, wow Fleur 1.9. All my green is on Ben, feel a bit of a mug for not bringing Fleur in line on her drift last night. Ho hum
Anyone got any major thoughts on the o/r prices? |
|
By:
i think there has been a massive overreaction by the market, and in reality its much much closer than those odds suggest,,,
Fleur drifted out to 9/4 last night.... and now she is odds on because of 1 performance coz her first song was nowt special her 2nd performance was good yes,,, but i still think this is Bens to Lose |
|
By:
Trying to figure out how yesterdays show has lead to such a big plunge on her?
Final next week not this? |

Fleur is 4th in iTunes...
Saying that SK were the top x-factor act when they got the booted out so iTunes isn't the best, actually it is incredibly suspicious. |
|
By:
exactly Stu....and could she have peaked too soon
she will make the final but she might find it hard to replicate her moment as she had last night theres still next week .. still a few twists and turns in this yet next weeks final... so much depends on song choice and who they duet with |
|
By:
I've heard Ben has Nick Cave and the Goodies are reforming for Andrea
Beyoncé or Bruno Mars for Fleur |
