X Factor Prediction League 2014

ibarelycare

This is really hard. I really like Fleur but think she'll get lost amongst the others and I'm not sure what demographic she'll really appeal to. She's only 26 but might seem too "old" to the young voters, and too young to the older voters.

So this is my prediction:

In case of a single elimination
Bottom 2 - Blonde Electra and Fleur East
Eliminated - Blonde Electra

In case of a double elimination
Bottom 3 - Blonde Electra, Fleur East and Only the Young
Eliminated - Blonde Electra and Fleur East

Chip Whitley

I agree with you about Fleur ibc, but I wonder will people like Chloe. Then again, Kitty Brucknell lasted a good while and I don't know who was voting for her! Plus Chloe has Cheryl 'Britain's Sweetheart'™ as mentor so I reckon she'll get votes from that.

It's a tough one. Especially as I have been avoiding papers and gossip sites so I'm not sure how people are reacting to the finalists.

I'll say:

In case of a single elimination
Bottom 2 - Blonde Electra and Only the Young
Eliminated - Only the Young

In case of a double elimination
Bottom 3 - Blonde Electra, Only the Young and Fleur East
Eliminated - Only the Young and Fleur East

Loughc

In case of a single elimination
Bottom 2 - Only the Young and Blonde Electra.

Eliminated - Only the Young and Stephine Nala.

In case of a single elimination

In case of a single elimination

I'd like to see them all perform live before predicting - things can change so dramatically on the night - but here's my two cents based on what I've seen so far;

Single elimination - bottom two
New Boy Band
Stephanie Nala
Eliminated; Stephanie Nala

In case of Double Elimination;
Bottom three;
New boyband
Stephanie Nala
Blonde Electric

Eliminated: Blonde Electric & Stephanie

I think, realistically, there are at least six contestants at risk of being bottom two tomorrow (some of the songs are bad!), it's soooo hard to narrow it down to just two or three!

Anyway, my predictions are:


In case of a single elimination
Bottom 2 - Blonde Electra and Fleur East
Eliminated - Blonde Electra

In case of a double elimination
Bottom 3 - Blonde Electra, Fleur East and Steph Nala
Eliminated - Blonde Electra and Fleur East

MelanieC

Oh,are we allowed to know the songs before we predict? I thought the idea was to predict spoiler-free. Wish I had waited to post my prediction now coz knowing what each act will be singing does give you an advantage in predicting the bottom two. :-(

Butterfly25

Tough being the first week and all so I'm basing my prediction entirely on song choices alone.

Ben & Blondies seem to have gotten the short straw in my opinion. Ben singing Bridge over troubled water :eek: Come on, we've been hearing that song on talent shows since the Hear Say days! :rolleyes:


Single Elimination:
Bottom two: Blonde Electra & Ben Haenow
Eliminated: Blonde Electra

Double Elimination:
Bottom three: Blonde Electra, Ben Haenow, & Only the Young
Eliminated: Blonde Electra & Ben Haenow

The songs are usually posted in the spoiler thread a few days before the live show. It's up to you whether you want to read it or not, some people prefer not knowing. But there's no rule against reading that thread before making your prediction.


You're welcome to change your predictions any time up to the start of tonight's show though

This week's results!

Hopefully that's viewable, let me know if there are any problems or if I've made any mistakes.

Just a couple of things:

1. I messed up in the OP on how I would do the scoring if it was a double elimination So the points have been awarded as follows:
- 2 points for each correct bottom 3 prediction
- 3 points for each correct elimination prediction
As one Overload Generation was a wildcard entry, no one scored full points this week, but well done to the 5 who are currently sharing top spot

2. I thought the best way to keep track of the overall predictions was to keep them in the sheet from the start, so everyone who took part in that round currently has 10 points from it, and I will remove these points if your act is sent home.

Loughc

Thanks for all the work on this! It's great and I'm loving the idea of the 10 points for the overall winner until they get sent home!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Always nice to see your name right at the top of the list...

To be honest when I saw the live show on Saturday I had convinced myself my predictions were way off - thought Blonde Electra were better than several of the acts on the night.

Thanks for putting in the hard work ibarelycare - I realise how time consuming combining all those scores actually is...

ibarelycare

Ah not at all, it's very little effort really. And sure what else would I be doing in work on a Monday morning
