Half of them probably don't then live in the uk

I agree, it's not as appealing as IAC. I also agree that young people have heard of vpn.

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 16:55

We don't need to guess that he has been bossing the pv anyway, in my view. Enough people have been turning up already to make them panic. However, or whomever.

So you think

By:

So just to confirm your chips are very much still stacked on George to win?

By:

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 17:05

I'll win on the series if it's not amber. But G is the better result at this point

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 17:09

And you are not going to change position before the final?

By:

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 17:18

It's quite likely to evolve. I tend to bet on specials instinctively. Though it's pretty clear what my thoughts are at this point.

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 17:19

Has there ever been a favourite ranging between 1/2 and 1/3 with all the bookies going into the final and lost? With full producer backing?
I can't think of one in the shows history.

You've got a decent position on Karen, why not take the opportunity to back George now he's 2/1. Just to 0 so you can't lose. I'm on Karen No 1 but I wouldn't be surprised if George wins, regardless of what the prods want.

Has the market swung on the basis of one (flawed) opinion poll? I don't think the market changes what will happen on Saturday. And as I've repeated quite a bit, it is easily explained.

Fig you posted way back iirc 2.9M views for George's Charleston. What meduim was that?

Was contemplating sticking a monkey down on him, just so I'm not fully burnt if he pulls off the upset. My thinking is he'll drift after the first dance so probably wait until then

Which would explain the immediate flip, but now how much she's continued to shorten the following day

By:

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 17:37

Believe it or not, there are plenty with your mentality and follow the money. She must be leading the vote etc.

By:

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 17:38

It was the same after her first mega ramp.

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 17:50

Yeah but then the voting insiders pulled George back on side. They've given up again now.
There is no doubt her samba week was a set back for her in the outright. Fully back on track now

'force to be reckoned with'

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 18:56

Kaz show dance sped up- and ends same as their CC

By:

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 18:58

lol

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 18:58

Video from one of the singers from Texas for Kaz who is her friend
That's the Scottish vote sorted.

By:

Henry VIII When: 17 Dec 25 19:03

She just admitted to stealing the Peaky Blinder's hat. What a disgraceful role model to young girls.

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 19:07

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 19:08

That's the brummy in her

By:

Henry VIII When: 17 Dec 25 19:08

Yeah, worse than scousers.

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 19:12

All joking aside it's a masterstroke from the prods using her song/dance choices to soak up 2 massive regional votes. They are taking no chances.

By:

Henry VIII When: 17 Dec 25 19:16

Yes, she even said she's reprising the dance for Birmingham.

By:

Henry VIII When: 17 Dec 25 19:17

I think Bear is a Brummie iirc. (I was only joking, nobody's worse than scousers)

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 19:21

I think any one would have known that was a joke!

By:

Lifter When: 17 Dec 25 19:24

Karen is likely winning the vote from those who watch weekly, but George has the much larger, loyal fanbase. Think Ginge. They need to turn up.

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 19:27

Who wins then? Cos pretty sure you had it done and dusted for George last week

By:

Lifter When: 17 Dec 25 19:29

Why do you keep confusing me with people

and relax man

By:

Lifter When: 17 Dec 25 19:30

Not following it that closely, I've just backed George pre-show and left it, only on the basis of his core support. Thought he had it in the bad maybe a month ago, but havn't been following it closely. Seems like a toss-up now, although I'd lean more towards George winning from his core support

By:

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 19:34

George would be winning in a canter with the scd audience if it was a fair battle. It never is, but worth pointing out.

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 19:49

And it would be the most underwhelming winner we ever had. Possibly only rivalled by Joe Mcfad

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 19:52

Certainly in the after Brucie era when I started watching

By:

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 19:58

Whether you think that is irrelevant to the point. G wouldn't be relying on his online support if he had a fair crack. But since the show has been stacked against him, he might need it. And the fact that he hasn't had lots of great dances is because of that very fact. They have deliberately limited him. Even the production for the Charleston was pretty underwhelming and dull with no fanfare ending.

By:

Bobbasauras When: 17 Dec 25 20:01

Maybe the pull one final surprise this weekend and go full ramp mode on George, and push him for the win, knowing they will have the winner involved in the tour.
As unlikely as it seems, it's about the only plot twist left to pull in a series of confusing decisions.

By:

Cider When: 17 Dec 25 20:08

So he picked the Charleston one himself, obviously. Which will be his most successful dance, not withstanding the show dance.

What was the best music they gave G that was appropriate for the dance, would you select, outside of the self selected one?
