29-09-2014 10:12am#1****Please don't make any "normal" predictions until the week before the first live show. For 10 bonus points you can predict the winner between now and before the start of the first judges house episode on Saturday 4th October. Please see post #2!****
It's that time of year again
Link to last year's thread if anyone wants to have a look
Let's see if someone can steal Kiwi_knock's crown!
********************************************************
Following on from previous years, your predictions every week should look like this:
In case of a single elimination
Bottom 2 - Act x and act y.
Eliminated - Act y.
In case of a double elimination
Bottom 3- act x, act y and act z
Eliminated - Act x and act y
You should always include a prediction for double elimination, just in case it is sprung on us as a surprise.
********************************************************
Points will be awarded as follows:
In case of a single elimination
Single Bottom 2 act correct -3 points
Both both two acts correct - 6
Correct act eliminated - 6
In case of a double elimination
Single Bottom 3 act correct -2 points
Two Bottom 3 acts correct - 4 points
All bottom 3 acts correct - 6 points
Eliminated act correct - 6 points
So the maximum points awarded each week will be 12.
In the case of twists in any week, I will review the formula, provided we are given notice prior to the live show.
I will tally up the scores as soon as I can after the Sunday night show (probably on a Monday) and will post them as a spreadsheet. If anyone sees any mistakes, please let me know!
********************************************************
A few rules...
1. Predictions MUST be posted before the first performer on the Saturday night show. Any predictions posted after that time will not be counted.
2. Please keep any discussion about the show to the main thread.
3. Please feel free to join the league at any stage of the competition!

I haven't seen much of bootcamp this year but from what I have seen I am really liking Andrea Faustini. Very likeable and a decent voice. I'm going with him as my overall winner!
Thanks IBC for doing this! The prediction thread always makes the live shows more enjoyable! 0 -

I'll second this. First year taking part and I'm really looking forward to it!0 -
This is really hard - I'm torn between a few, as there's no standout winner for me so far. Paul has been slightly deramped, going by the arena show and I suspect they'll mould him into a more old style soul/r&b type singer for the show. I can see him making top 3 though.
Andrea was given a fantastic edit at arena stage, but I can't see him winning the whole thing for some reason. I could be completely wrong though...he's a dark horse for sure.
My personal favourite is Lola, but given her final arena performance, I'm not even sure she'll make it to lives, which would be a shame. She's much better than that one dodgy performance suggested.
I really like Ben too, just not sure if he'll be swallowed up by other similar guys in the show this year.
So, on reflection, I'm gonna go with my gut and predict the 8 piece boyband will win. Ugh.
Boybands always do pretty well, but none have ever actually won. They're creating the most buzz at the moment and with more and more 'older' viewers choosing to switch over to BBC on Saturday nights, the younger voters may see them all the way to the final win this year.
I'm probably completely wrong, but that's all the reasoning I can come up with at this early stage! Sorry for the long post

Handy little video to help you with the names in these early stages.

So as per the discussion in the main thread, we've decided that since we don't know how the wildcards are going to work, the fairest way to cast your votes this week is as if it was just the final 12 that we currently know.
The final 12 are:
Girls
Chloe Jasmine
Lauren Platt
Stephanie Nala
Boys
Paul Akister
Jake Quickenden
Andrea Faustini
Groups
Blonde Electra
Only The Young
New boy band
Overs
Fleur East
Ben Haenow
Jay James
Your predictions should look like this:
In case of a single elimination
Bottom 2 - Act x and act y.
Eliminated - Act y.
In case of a double elimination
Bottom 3- act x, act y and act z
Eliminated - Act x and act y
Best of luck everyone!
Edit: We won't be making wildcard predictions for points as these will most likely be leaked this week. If you want to make wildcard predictions for the craic, go ahead. But no spoilers please 0 -
My predictions are as follows
In case of a single elimination:
Bottom 2 - Lauren Platt and Blonde Electra.
Eliminated - Blonde Electra.
In case of a double elimination:
Bottom 3 - Lauren Platt, Blonde Electra and Only the Young.
Eliminated - Blonde Electra and Only the Young.0 -

Ok here goes
Single Elimination
Bottom Two
Blond Electra
Fleur East
Eliminated: Fleur East
Double Elimination
Bottom Three
Jay James
Fleur East
Blonde Electra
Eliminated: Fleur East and Jay James
Of course I'm totally wrong, no points this week
Can we make a few extra points predicting the wildcards.
e.g I predict the wildcards to be Lola, Overload, Jack Walton and Janet Grogan and as I don't predict any of these will be in the bottom, my actual predictions don't change. But others might.
Edit: Sorry just read the other thread Re: wildcard predictions are out but I'll just leave above for the crack to see how wrong I was.0
