              this week should, without any last minute surprises, see a straight-forward fight between Cher and Mary. Matt and One Direction should make it into the final. It’s possible a poor week for Rebecca could let one of the other two female’s in, but if so surely only Cher’s capable of an upset.
              Mary would probably have gone last week if the show hadn’t rigged it so they could finally get rid of Wagner. If Rebecca does manage to fall into the bottom two you can’t really see any of the judges getting rid of her (same goes for Matt and One Direction, particularly the latter as who would have the nerve to go up against Cowell). It’s not quite so clearcut Mary v Cher. Obviously Cheryl and Simon would vote Cher, and Louis is likely to back Mary. Which leaves Dannii as the swing judge. What would Minogue do? Cher, most probably.

                FWIW, I think the prices are completely the wrong way round and that Cher should be fav to go.

                FIRSTLY NO JUDGES DECISION THIS WEEK. IT'S A STRAIGHT VOTE.

                Mary positives.

                - Mary has a rock solid fanbase, ie - Irish vote.
                - Getting massive publicity over here last week or so, being mentioned on every news program.
                - Bad weather gonna ensure a big viewing figure Saturday/Sunday, so plenty of Irish votes.
                - Bounce factor from being in bottom two.
                - Mary qualifying gives all mentors one act in final.
                - Mary more suited to final, as bring in massive Irish figures, great story (checkout lady to superstar) as well as older, granny, larger lady vote. A huge amount of which sit at home, eating icecream, watching Mary fulfil their dreams. Cher's fan's more likely to be spread.
                - Star gonna publish voting numbers on front on paper this weekend.

                Mary has already beaten Cher before in week when Cher was bottom two. We know Cher can beat Mary (last week), so if it's gonna be tight, how can we not go with Mary when she seems to have so many more positives over Cher.

                Prices look wrong to me, I've been betting accordingly last day or so.

                    No judges decision. Gotta do your homework.

                              More exel help please. Need to graph / represent this data.

                              I want to show changes in Alpha* b* and c* as p and q change. I'm not sure at all how/what it should look like though!

                              edit to say p and q are dependent on each other, so need to factor that in

                                Agree with C Kid here. Surviving the bottom 2 is the best thing that can happen to an act. it ensures the people who thought about voting pull the trigger this time around. Rebecca + Cher need the big weeks imo.

                                  Meant to say as well Mary got two songs that she gonna smash as well, as much as i dislike her.

                                  - The Way We Were by Barbara Streisand (Gladys Knight version)
                                  - Never Can Say Goodbye (Gloria Gaynor version)

                                  They are her rumored songs, she's smash them surely.

                                  Let's as a nation on this bad weather weekend, and in a time of unprecedented time of turmoil for our proud country, get behind a true working class Irish hero, who never stole our money or told us lies, and send Mary to the X-Factor final.

                                  We will send a message to the rest of the world that we may be down, but we are never out, and with Mary as our spiritual figurehead we can pull ourselves from our Tesco check-outs to the hallowed lands of an X-Factor final.

                                  FOR MARY AND FOR IRELAND.

                                                        Suppose better put the warning that this year has seen more changes than any other from the general X-Factor format, I mean wouldn't surprise me if two went this week with a super SHOCK elimination, but either way would mean we getting the same bet as bottom act would be least votes anyway.

Its pretty small an adequate for 1 person i guess but the guy that usually lives here does not even have a tv and very little worldly possessions.

                                                                              It just goes to show most days there is little real actual news, just filler.

                                                                              It would be refreshing if on occasion when you tuned in, they just acknowledged 'Not much news today, now for an episode of The Simpsons', or summed up the actual relevant news in 5 minutes and dedicated the rest of it to funny animal clips.
                                                                              X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
