Looks like Diva Fever could be back?

Any truth in the rumour that all four acts are going to form essentially a supergroup to be mentored by Nicole? Presumably that would be best, if only one act was chosen, how would they be chosen?

If true, I reckon Diva Fever, Gamu Nhengu, Paije Robinson and perhaps Wagner Fiuza-Carrilh...could work



Don't read on if you don't want to know!


Gamu isn't one of the wildcards.

Cheryl and crew were spotted in Treyc's hometown last week and relatives have been congratulating Treyc on Facebook...

Louis Walsh's wildcard is Stephen Hunter.

The public will choose a 13th act to go through to the competition out of the four wildcards this weekend.

surprised if that is true!

I though there've done it on purpose i.e not include Gamu , cue public outrage etc, then ends up back next week. To be fair that Treyc was bit of a "nobody" - Gamu was always a big character - unless more than one each will come back???
mmm... intresting.

But as I say...
How will the public decide? Would that mean that no-one would leave the programme this weekend or would they have two votes?

That's what i was thinking - I don't think 2 sets of votes is really possible as it would be a bit confusing surely.

Really they should have either revelead the wildcards to vote on last nights show or if they wanted to keep the "Big twist" - do what mosts shows do and have just a wildcard show next weekend, so only wildcards performing.

Unless they have the vote for normal 12 close at start of Sunday show. Then reveal the twist and open the lines again.

I'm not sure the journalists are entirely correct about the wildcards.

This Saturday's show and the following Saturday's are both two and a half hours long.

Which is too long for 12 performances, and just right for 16.

On that basis, I'm inclined to think all four wildcards are through now and there won't be a public vote to pick a 13th act like everyone is suggesting.

Yeah I agree. Although I know its made a bit more drama etc, but then are they really wildcards? If there just put in, without a public vote, then all there've really done is prentended they haven't got through when they have a week later. So if they do it this way, IMO their not really wildcards.

Yep, they're missing a trick with this wildcard business. They could have opened up the phone-lines last night, and allowed the viewers to pick.

A weeks worth of phone revenue and then open the live shows with the result of the public vote.

No doubt there would be lots of public condemnation though, evil money grabbing ITV etc.

Why is Gamu attracting so much attention? She's on the front page of some the tabloids tomorrow. I didn't think she was that great.

Goodness, why can't a choice be made without a cry of racism :

And the usual complainers to Ofcom have been mobilised, as is always the case these days whenever a reality TV show decision doesn't go their way.

A week's worth of publicity is more valuable though. I can't remember there being so much anticipation running up to the live shows before. Plus, ITV would have to keep plugging the phone numbers throughout the week à la Big Brother, which is off-putting to non-X Factor viewers.

Disgraceful journalism there from the Mail. It says that Cole is embroiled in a racism row on the basis of a few tweets. Disgraceful. Has this journalist not got a brain.

The media just love tearing down any high profile celebrity in Britain. I'm indifferent to Cole and all her personal life, but I do not agree with this media slant. It's just lazy journalism.

I've just noticed who wrote this - former Sun TV Editor Sara Nathan... has she been brainwashed by the Daily Mail to only write stories that include racism or cancer? This is a shameful waste of a once good journalist!
