Fame Academy - Alex Wins!

Doesn't surprise me that FA got axed. The judges were complete unknowns.

Richard = OK so he started Foxy's career, but who cares, really?
Carrie = Who?
I can't remember the Dave Beson-Phillips look-a-like
Robin Gibb = their only saving grace, he's a good lad.

Pop Idol

Foxy = Capital drivetime and presenter of the most popular of the three Sunday Afternoon Chart Shows, Hit 40 UK. - it's on all but 2 stations where I live so you can't say he's not well-known.

Cowell = Pop Idol 1 admittedly, but he did a far better job at making a name for himself than Mr. Parks.

Waterman = The words "Stock" and "Aiken" mean anything to anyone? Kylie wouldn't be the MASSIVE star she is today if it wasn't for this man. Maybe he should take Holly and Delta on!

Chapman = Made her mark IMMEDIATELY on the ORIGINAL show of the genre, "Popstars".

It's all about the people I think.

Fame Academy hasn't offically been axed. That tabloid tale has been denied for now so until it is confirmed by the beeb that more is or isn't to come from Witanhurst House in 2004 and beyond future of the show is at present unknown and not offically axed.

JM you are an odd one.

So what is the current leaving order? I'm thinking
James - Carolynne - Peter - Alistair - Alex.

James thinks Audley will make a comeback and win
Alistair thinks Alex will win
Peter thinks Alex will win but he also thinks Alistair has a good chance.

I didn't hear who the girls thought would win.

Agree that it'll be James this week unless, and I hope this doesn't happen, him and Alistair get saved. Aaaaaarghhhhh!

Then, I think it could actually be Alistair, presuming that the public will save Alex, the teachers will save Peter and I reckon that both Alex and Peter would vote in Carolynne. So that would leave Alistair going (which is good as he really can't win it although I do like him)

So it recap, it'll be, I hope, James and Alistair with the final three being Carolyne, Petter and Alex, with Alex winning and Carolyne taking second place.

Does anyone know when the final episode will be shown? And will the CD single be out straight away (week after). Has this info been released yet?

Well I was listening to the streaming the other day and James was telling Kevin an album featuring the 4 last people will come out the week after the final but they are not sure when the winner's single comes out

The final is on the 4th October. Just 2 programmes to go beforehand

Is that it! Two more shows?!! Could'nt they milk it any more. It feels too sudden. And why have they not moved to the Shepperton (sp.?!) studios yet? Thats place would be much better for a grand finale!!!

I'm sure they could milk it more, but what would they do after they ran out of students!?

They HAVE to do another Celebrity version. That was brillant. Whens Children in need... lol!!

It'll be in November like normal.

I'm not sure - the celeb format had worn off for the second CBB so it might do the same for CFA.

I wish they would broadcast from the Trafford Centre though - I'm sick of replays all day.

if they got interesting celebs like last time then it would be just as good. ruby wax, doon, and jo made it fantastic viewing, if they managed the same again with outrageous celebs mixed with ones who can actually sing it would be just as good. almost.
