I read in the paper that one of those young boys and another group may be disqualified for already having recording deals.

Avenue are the group and they did get disqualified. Not sure who the boy is but I think it might be Ray 'Antnee Murray' Quinn.

Yes Avenue were disqualified but it is now Eton Road and Ray who are in trouble.

I think two of the boys in Eton Road are more than friends.

Hmm, let me guess..... My prediction is that a female might win as only male winners in the past (including all male group G4 - allegedly the real winners in 1st series) Time for some girl power?!!

From what I have seen so far I would like a female winner, but I don't see it happening.

That's exactly what me and my friend were saying the other week. It just gets boring after the first auditions. My favourite was the woman who sang "Like a Prayer" - she was hilarious!

Do you think there is much of a gap between the filming and the programme being shown on TV?


I have noticed there were several people at the bootcamp stage who didn't get featured on the programme much and they were the ones who went home.


I think maybe the programme makers know who goes through and they want you to get attached to a particular act.

There was a couple there from Sunderland and I read their story in the Sunderland Echo about 3 months before it was shown on tv.

I get bored for a couple of weeks, but once the also-rans have been eliminated from the live final (usual a crappy group and someone old they put through out of sympathy) I decide who I want to win, and I get excited again.

A lot of them seem to have sob stories this year.

Every week someone had a sob story. You know when it's about to happen: cue sad music, and a sad womans voice saying "Three years ago Angela here had a car accident, broke her back, lost all her hair, and then all of her family died in a house fire..."

Sharon almost always let people through who clearly didn't deserve it (ie. the boy who did the splits). What's wrong with her? It won't make her look evil to tell people they're rubbish when they are!

Who do we think will go first? I think it will be one of the groups or the over 25s - possibly The Unconventionals (or The Misfits as my sister calls them!)
