Tonight is the Final Night..

[trickrick]

Ok chaps..After 90-odd days we are at the end of it (thankfully..)

Here are my predictions which is most definately my heart/money ruling over my head..

1st Rex
2nd Rachel
3rd Mikey
4th Sara
5th Darnell

GO REX

[Beanie]

5th Darnell
4th Sara
3rd Rachel
2nd Rex
1st Mikey

That's from the head, altho I'd like to see Rex win and think it could be very close in the end.

I doubt the voting numbers are particularly high this year, which means it all probably depends on the edit tonight, and any of them could still win, altho given the coverage so far, Mikey and Rex are the two most likely to get the favourable edits.

Then onto 90 days of the X Factor!

Holy shoite. I'm on Rex @ 16.00's and had completely written it off. I cannae believe he's in with a shout.

[trickrick]

Rex currently 5.5, Rachel 4.9...How long before Rex becomes 2nd favourite?

[Bigkegman]

Im on the Rex band wagon as well - got him at 13/2

[trickrick]

Wasnt having another bet, but I like this one - the greedy fool I am..

10 pt stake on Sara to finish 4th @ 2.6 (2 pt saver on Darnell @ 6.0) (Betfair)

Can't see either not in the bottom 2

[Beanie]

Woah - 14.9% for Darnell - that's v. v. high for a 5th spot - this could be an unpredictable night as all the rest are gonna be pretty close!

Cmon Rex, that's a nice big Darnell vote to transfer over

[trickrick]

Fcuk me - didnt expect that ! A bet too far that was..

How in gods name did Sara beat Rex

Well congrats Mikey on the win...

[Beanie]

Oooo Rex 4th, lines never opened again so no time for the Darnell votes to count. Big shock there...22.5% from the 4.

That means of the original vote, 60 odd % covering the top 3, with the least not less than 20% for 3rd.

[Beanie]

As far as I know, that 22.5% is expressed as a %age of the remaining 85% after the darnell vote, ie Rex got 19% of the original vote.

[Cinny]

Have Rachel @ 4/1 and had a small bet on sara @ 14/1 both boylesports. Rachel still seems to be up against it though, Mikeys now around the 2/7 mark.

[Beanie]

By my calculations Sara beat Rex by about 1%, with Rachel and Mikey not much ahead. Cant be more than a few % between them, altho Mikey will probably pull away now.

[trickrick]

All I can say is thank god that Sara is now out..

[Beanie]

Wow, look at the AOL poll:

Who do you want to win?
Results: Votes Per cent
Darnell 2,207 12%
Mikey 5,293 29%
Rachel 3,857 21%
Rex 3,351 18%
Sara 3,694 20%

Total votes: 18,402

Bang on so far, within 1 or 2%. By the %ages so far there is only 6% max between the front two tho, and this hour is a special situation - are the casual voters picking up the phone, or will the Rachel fanatics hammering redial win through...
