are people going to start voting for wagner now? it's getting to crunch time...

a gatecrash of the final by him would be epic!

also, when does the 2 tunes a week start? got to be this week surely? not heard anything about a theme this week...

[ampersand]

i think i'm going to watch the matt thing on xtra factor. he seemed really down to earth at the judges houses and before. but i thnk he's letting it all get to him and he's obviously taking the bookies odds to heart and is becoming a bit of a cock!

the only thing that mary has got going for her is that she's irish, so loyalty votes. katieweasel twitter has her going and i'm agreeing again. only got it wrong once in the past 5 weeks i think. but that wrong one went this week. cher will get saved every time by the judges. as will katie over mary, i've no doubt. the rest probably won't make the bottom two and even if they do, barring wagner, mary will get voted out. so it seems a sensible bet. 9/2 at the minute.

It was an anxiety attack, not a faint

By 'anxiety attack', I assume you mean she got anxious because she didn't want to do the challenge, and decided to pretend to faint?

[rachbon]

I don't think it was a pretend faint. She was shaking like mad and don't forget, she's quite frail..

Shes a vegan for a start, so even when they get stars she can't eat any of the meat, and then she won't have as many fat reserves as the meat eaters..I'm pretty sure it wasn't fake, because of the way her hand was twitching afterwards..someone who would fake faint would just go straight down and try and stay as still as possible.. If it was an anxiety attack then her body would twitch..

[ampersand]

i want to vote for him but don't want to give simon cowell any money. i probably won't bother but i would love to see cheryl's face if wagner wins.. she probably just assumes one of her acts will win again.

i don't think they'll start singing two songs each until they're down to five people.

[rachbon]

see my post after that one. freedman has confirmed it's two this week!

ah right. so that'll be about 6 songs for wagner!

[rachbon]

i know, that's something that's starting to grate on me a bit. just give him one song! it's actually making it more hard for him as the key change and tempo change inbetween songs, especially hippy shake into hey jude can very easily be arsed up by him.

hope it's a personal choice for one of the songs this week. you've got the loaf needs a full version. though it won't be as good as his acapella!

few rumours going around that wagner is in the top 3 votes wise each week, cowell must be loving this the amount of £££ he's getting in from this series.

according to today's Telegraph, the same is going on with Wagner as went on to get RATM to number 1 last xmas - people trying to f**k with Cowell's head.

Anxiety/panic attacks actually make your blood pressure go up. Low blood pressure can cause fainting so it is way more likely that she was suffering from low blood pressure or sugar prehaps. Low blood sugar and pressure can cause very similar symptoms to a panic attack. It is very unlikely that her 'faint' was a panic attack.

Symptoms of low blood pressure

If your blood pressure is naturally low, you are unlikely to have any symptoms and it's not something you should be concerned about.

However, if your blood pressure becomes lower than normal for you, it can cause symptoms such as:

dizziness or light-headedness, fainting, shortness of breath, chest pain, cold feet and hands, palpitations

Also...

The early warning signs of mild hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) may include:

feeling hungry

trembling or shakiness

sweating

anxiety or irritability

going pale

fast pulse or palpitations

tingling of the lips

Bottom line it she was either faking it or it was something other than a panic attack

[Paul ™]

Its just a shame it was only leaves she fell onto and not a rusty metal spike

[rachbon]

and also hints at a possible double eviction. thanks for that. maybe think twice about mary bet...

[ampersand]

yup, your maths and dates are right.

though perhaps they're doing a 4 act final? maybe that will get more cash with more people to vote for? and to have each judge still in it in the final week?

matt, rebecca, one direction and wagner final. could be!

[Paul ™]

The final is definately on the 12th December.

There is no sing off next week, as the decision rests entirely with the public.

[ampersand]

having 4 acts in the final doesn't guarantee all the judges would have 1 act left though.

could see them having four in the final though. like you say, more people to vote for means more money.

[rachbon]

[ampersand]

either way though we both see a judge with an act in the last 4. whether it's mary or wagner for louis, we'll just have to wait and see

from yahoo..

‘X Factor’ reject Gamu Nhengu is set to battle the winner of the popular ITV1 show in the Christmas charts.

Gamu is to release a Christmas single called ‘Where Will You Sleep This Christmas?’ in aid of a Scottish charity but will have strong competition for number one from the eventual winner of the talent show. Perhaps judge Cheryl Cole’s decision to boot her out will come back to haunt her, as Gamu certainly has a strong following.

There was outrage among ‘X Factor’ fans when Cole picked Cher, Treyc, Rebecca and Katie instead of Gamu. Cole received death threats and abuse following the decision.

The track is in aid of children’s charity Aberlour, which has produced Christmas singles before but is hoping that Gamu’s input will boost this year's effort.

"This song will hopefully appeal to a much larger audience this year and we are so grateful for the support of those who helped to make it happen," said Aberlour's director of marketing, Karen McMurrich.
