Gosh this is all too conspiratorial for me at this time of night. Think I'll have a Baileys and go to sleep.
Here let me guess what the Star will say: Matt is decently ahead, followed by Mary, then Rebecca, then Cher. |

Sorry you've lost me GB. Actually as a libertarian I feel quite proud to have experienced the censor's wrath.

I think all of your posts should be instantly deleted.
I trust you will take this as the compliment that is intended |

My guess on the story is, Aiden ,Mary and Matt have topped the votes and Wagner is just sraping through

X FACTOR wannabes are begging producers NOT to sing alongside Mary Byrne this weekend - because they're convinced she's CURSED.
Every single act that has appeared in the same section of the show as Mary between ad breaks has slumped into the sing-off - or has gone home. The contestants are convinced Mary's show-stopping performances mean viewers instantly forget the acts around her, and see performing with her as the new "coffin slot" on the show. CLAIM AN ONLINE POKER BONUS OF UP TO $250! And we can exclusively reveal the wannabes are RIGHT to be concerned - with the Irish Tesco worker storming the public vote thanks to her countrymen supporting her in their millions. The 50-year-old has never been out of the top two in the voting, and was the runaway leader in Week One when she sang James Brown's It's A Man's Man's Man's World. Scary Mary's "curse" hit Nicolo Festa, 21, and Katie Waissel, 24, in Week One, when they both sang in Part Six of the show with Mary. Nicolo, who sang immediately after Mary, came last in the public vote, while Katie was saved in the sing-off. In Week Two she and Belle Amie sang in Part Eight, with the girl band ending in the sing-off. And last weekend it was well-fancied Treyc Cohen, 25, who had to be saved by the judges after starring in Part Five with Mary. One show source revealed: "You know the phrase 'follow THAT' - well that's how everyone feels coming on after Mary. "She's pulling votes in by the million and is the surprise package of the show so far. It's spelling bad news for anyone who has to compete with her for the audience's attention. "After all four of her rivals being jinxed, there's certainly no rush to be the one who tries to break the hoodoo. "It used to be going first that was seen as the worst slot but many acts would happily go first if it meant keeping Mary away from them." The running order is decided in the run-up to the show by senior producers, including Simon Cowell. Acts singing late in the show get more votes that those singing at the start, so the order has long been controversial among fans. » MORE 'X FACTOR' HERE... |

George the Star have just posted new XF articles including the one above, but nothing on the voting (except that Mary is getting millions above). You need to spank your source.
Why not give him a phone and ask him what's going on? |

Is that your opinion A1 (mine too I think)?
Or are you quoting a paper - "The 50-year old" sounds very newspaperish? |

Its in the Star story Henry

Not an awful lot to go on tbh, I would have had her top week 1 and 2nd week 2 2nd in week 3 aint a bad performance though. As the numbers go down her supporters Tesco workers and the Irish vote will sling more votes her way so it gives her momentum certainly to be top 4 or 5. Probably the best trade out of this would be backs of simon and cheryl to 1st to lose all their acts imo.

By:
Oh yes, I really should read instead of impatiently skim.
|
|
By:
She done well to get 2nd place last week imo
She must have people voting for her regardless of her performance |
|
By:
I think her performance has always been strong. Comfortably reliable.
|
|
By:
Henry
Agreed. Three good performances that I'd have put in the top three or four every week |
|
By:
Last week she sang her audition song again
I thought that might have worked against her, but obviously not |
|
By:

Yes I wondered that but she did it well again. She'll have to change it a bit though to really go far I think. |

Also in the Star (but I can't find the article online) they seem to be saying Pep Guardiola is lined to to be the next Man Utd boss. He was 20s a second ago over in Football Specials, until I took the price...

Thanks George, it wasn't all of them but that bit on Mary was useful, worth waiting for imo.

Good spot OTHH although their article, now up, is uncommitted wishy washy. The headline says "United in Pep talks", which is correct? Typical Star if the reality is less than the headline.

Wrong one, Henry. That's a comment piece alongside the main article:
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/160309/Manchester-United-in-talks-with-Pep-Guardiola/ Although admittedly it's not saying he's signed, just that they've talked to his agent. |
