Trick question Kitten, because you said both would win

Thanks Lou.

I was thinking Widdecombe.

My logic is that on SCD they are all successful people anyway so, at the end of the day, it don't really matter who wins in financial terms.

On XF, peoples careers are at stake. I use the word "career" in the loosest possible sense.

Wagner more likely to win than Widdecombe Fair.

There is more of an anti X Factor movement than anti Strictly movement.

and widdi's politics are just slightly to the right of gengkhis khan

widdi as any protest on x factor would be nullified by Rebecca Ferguson who the purists and even wagner has said is a rare talent and
the best x factor has ever produced.

Would did you think of Rebecca's performance last Saturday .... without talking through your book of course?

Waddy over Waggy...  For various reasons.

SCD vote easier to manipulate and no judge's final decision this season.  Ultimately the producers / judges tend to play it with a straight bat.

Whereas the GBP is completely manipulated with XF; running order, song choices, judge's comments.  The tide will turn against Wagner soon.

But regardless of this I don't think either will win.  Ultimately the public will want a worthy winner - and they will outnumber the nay-sayers and protesters.

I tend to say FORTUNATELY  the public will pick a worthy winner but I take your point.

Dizzy is right, although Widecombe won't win either

XF victory for Wagner would require a far bigger spend for the protesters than RATM victory

5,000,000 votes comfortably vs 500,000 record sales (many of which were freebies)

Plus an inevitable anti-Wagner vote in the final 2

Also hampered by the knowledge that you are directly lining Cowell's pocket by doing it

All he needs his weekend is a bit of fist clenching if Waggy gets through this weekend, 'accidentally' caught on camera Grin
