Did anything happen tonight to change the status quo?

I thought they were all crap bar Cher.

Not helped by some sh1t song choices and dressing Rebecca up like one of those dolls my nan used to put on her loo roll.

So no real change which means matt wins easily.

How much voting tomorow a factor, I'm wondering?

still looks like Matt then Rebecca to me.  I don't get the OD price plunge.

I genuinely don't think Cowell has thought through the "unintended consequences" of his One D ramping...

Matt - rubbish
Rebecca - rubbish

Matt was rubbish because his voice is fooked and now sounds like a squeaky comical mouse.
Rebecca had awful staging on her first song, along with an awful song...then lost her confidence when Christina started doing vocal gymnastics.

Tomorrow Rebecca is likely to be a lot better, Matt will still sound daft unless he recovers. Will it matter though? Not based on tonight ..existing fan bases - 1 on the night performances - 0

Is it likely do we think that the voting will be settled (i.e. big enough gaps) before tomorrow's show, or will tomorrows voting make a big difference, I'm trying to figure out.

The final needed Wagner

One D backers have not thought it through ;)

I reckon everybody already made their mind up long ago, so I would suggest tomorrow makes very little difference. I too am amazed at the 1D price shift when they are clear third in all known polls I've seen. 5/2 a very fair price to lay off much of my remaining green on them.

That they'll have to hear them 'sing' again?

You doing twitter as usual fig?

Off to bed now anyway. Think I have desert lag

my biggest red is on one D

but i would be more than happy to see them reach the last 2.

because they will then get wiped out.

Surely by time it's final 2 there won't be much voting time left aa?

GB - I've just done the to win comments this week. I'll post them up

enough ..they both have to sing the winning song
and it's a 2 hour show..with 3 acts.the songs only last 2 mins.

i'm not expecting them to be there then.

n1.

Now?  Just off to brush teeth

Rebecca's price came in from 5.8 on the news of the duets and the expectation of 'Beautiful' being a game changer.  We now know that it wasn't so her price is rightly moving back to its previous level.

just seen Cher being asked by Konnie: who's gonna win and as quick as a flash without even thinking about it she replied wiyh no enthusiasm - Matt Cardle.  Looks like it's all over to me.

Can i have a monkey at 50s on Putin for next years XF

I agree with Figgy. Od were awful tonight. Cardle bad due to illness. Rebecca destroyed by Xtina. Cher stole the show. This is coming from a non fan. Cardle walks it
