PAIJE @ 5 to go the value?

good trade if he is bottom 2

Cowell would save Waggy over Paije if Paije is bottom - nap

possibly, esp. after the 'you can't win' comments

paige is the bet

Paije has survived singing from really tough slots and with ropey songs.  Not saying he is safe, but it would be odd if he finally found himself in the sing off when he finally gets a decent slot and a great song whihc he performed really well.

I know what you're saying but atleast one person who hasn't been in bottom 2 yet will be, and I strongly suspect Katie will escape the bottom 2 this week as its rare for a show closer to be in the bottom 2 and arguably she gave the performance of the night imo.  Betting Paije is basically betting he will be bottom 2 and Wagner won't (even then a slight chance of deadlock).

You say a decent slot, but it was the worst slot of the 3 to leave market leaders

Sound reasoning for me grendel

Ironic, Paije was pretty good. I just don't see how he increases his vote. At this stage you have to

I bet Rebecca to go.

Admittedly a longshot but there is past form for decent-ish singers to go unexpectedly at this stage on the strength of one bad week (happened at least twice).

At these odds you don't need to get it right often to turn a nice profit.

Just watched him back, he had a a great VT focussing on how hurt he was by Simon's comments last week, a great performance of a great song, brilliant smile as usual, very good judges comments and to top it all its his birthday.  I'm not gonna stick my neck out and say he's safe, because very few are safe this week, but I would be surprised if he went.

I think he's been relying on the "OMG WE MUST SAVE HIM!!" vote up til now, whereas this week Katie has stolen those votes.
