Didn't Sami get eliminated in Week 2 after the sing off? According to this it should have been Kitty against Frankie, or is it just a mix up?

Sami was the following week. She's there in the ratings at the bottom with Kitty.

to anyone that watched the xtra factor, did they look at what names the judges had predicted as the winner and sealed in an envelope way back when...?

Yeah, nobody got it wrong. Tulisa seemed annoyed and claimed she never made the prediction that came out of her envelope (New Vibe IIRC). I cant recall everyone but I think Kelly predicted Misha B anyway, Dermot for Janet. Tis all I recall for sure.

Gary predicted Frankie
Kelly predicted Janet
Tulisa said it wasn't her prediction in the envelope -I couldn't read what it said.
Louis predicted that it would be a Janet/Frankie final

Dermot voted for Misha I think.

Caroline voted Craig
Can't remember Ollys prediction

Frankie Cocozza was Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh's predicted X Factor winner at the Boot Camp stage of the competition.

On The Xtra Factor tonight, Olly Murs and Caroline Flack revealed the judges and hosts' golden envelope early guess on who would win the show. The prediction process and golden envelope reveal has become a tradition on the Xtra Factor finale.

No judge or presenter could pick the correct answer this year, because girl group Little Mix were formed after the Boot Camp stage of the show.

Barlow singled out Cocozza at Boot Camp as his favourite act, while Louis Walsh supported the teenager and Northern Irish singer Janet Devlin.

Kelly Rowland also backed Devlin for victory, while Tulisa Contostavlos supported boyband Nu Vibe.

Dermot O'Leary was another Devlin supporter, Caroline Flack tipped Craig Colton, while Olly Murs got the closest to a finalist, backing Misha B for the title.

Cocozza was kicked off the ITV1 talent show during the live shows after breaking a "golden rule" of the competition. It was reported that the Brighton singer bragged to production staff about taking cocaine.

Barlow defended his selection of Cocozza, who was booed by audiences during the live shows, claiming that the teenager had exciting star quality during the early stages.

Yea and look at the difference the following week...she turned on the tears and BAM she gets major votes!! :rolleyes:

ricero

glad little mix won i think they will be the only musicians successful from a very poor x factor imo

JP Liz V1

4 million viewers down from last year's final Simon isnt happy

sgb

Probably the worst X Factor ever in terms of excitement and talent but still found it compulsive viewing, roll on next year

Silvio.Dante

What a dreadful winning act hopefully Simon will quietly bury them and we won't see much of them in future...

Oh yes Kelly could choose between her two acts back then :rolleyes:

missbelle

I think Sophie might have flourished had she been given another few weeks...aw well we'll never know now!:p

dr gonzo

In a totally manly way i think i may be smitten with Little Mix, they seem to get more beautiful every time they're on my tv! Glad they won too, they're a great little band, not like some of the other gob****es that have come off this show.

Bella mamma

On ITV's 'This Morning' Show when asked about geling so well, Jessie from Little Mix said that initially she and Jade were roomates, as were Leanne an Perrie, and when they all became friends they decided to stick together in the hope that they'd be made into a group!!!

I thought the judges put them together in boot camp (at least on screen anyways) :rolleyes:

Pacing Mule

You could interpet that as they were room mates at bootcamp, got along well and then decided to hang out together as a safety net (knowing full well that for the past few years eliminated singles have been put into bands)

So tell the truth - who's going to watch next year? I swore throughout this series that I was finished but if I'm honest, I will watch the auditions, bootcamp and judges houses. I think I'll decide at that stage and if I'm screaming at the telly if it's as plain as day that an act or more should have been put through and instead they're picking acts based on personality and/or publicity potential, then I won't be watching.

emeraldstar

Good or bad, I'll be watching.

Butterfly25

I think I watched it more this year than last year!

Last year I was sick of Cheryl and Simon TBH!

I though the judges were good this year, they looked alot more involved than Danni/Cheryl/Simon.

2 things annoyed me this year -

1. All the stories in the papers
2. Frankie Cocozza

I think they should abolish the categories after bootcamp so each judge gets one boy, girl, group and oldie to mentor for the live shows

That would be more fair on the mentors but then judges' houses would have to be abolished and the judges would have to decide on the final 16 together, and then have them divided between the four of them.

Maybe they should get rid of judges houses (lets face it, they're not their houses!) and do a different format.

Maybe make it regional, seeing as they go on and on about how cities need to vote for their acts. - So each mentor gets to choose an act per category - per region - with maybe a wildcard element.

It would suit Louis down to the ground, he always wants everybody to vote for the Irish - good, bad or nauseating.

Yes, that's exactly what Jessie was saying! It's a pity she said it as I'd been totally 'taken in' that they were somewhat randomly choosen from the group of girls that we all saw huddled, and upset, after they didn't get to Judge's Houses. In 'reality' producers were very likely looking out for solos for a group while they were practicing their harmonies! I'm so naive :eek:

Great idea but it makes for better TV when Louis get the crappest category!

I think this would only work if they did it as a twist after judges houses. However, it would still be quite confusing trying to remember who's in each category. It's grand as it is.

It's tough to know what changes could be made for it next year. First and foremost I'd get rid of Kelly anyway and bring back dannii if I could. Tulisa and Louis have to be kept on, not sure about Gary but who is there really to replace him?

I'd like to see a return to the Saturday night results show. I understand this will probably never happen as it's all about the money but it was more exciting when both live show and results were on the saturday. Or maybe have double eliminations on certain weeks in which one goes on Saturday and the other on the Sunday results show?

I actually look forward to seeing what Simon has in store for next year. He needs to pull something out of the fire to improve on this year's poor ratings.
