I don't mind 'Edge of Heaven' too much for J and J- it could have been much worse.
Am very surprised at the choice for the Cutkelvins. At the beginning of the series, I thought they were one of the favourites, but Simon doesn't seem to be giving them much, and they are increasingly becoming the sister , with backing.

And BINGO! 'I can't make you love me' I can't stand that song- and it's Grace singing it- which means they really want her to win. it's such a favourite on these shows.

I think Rat Soup doing 'Faith' rather than Sam , means Sam is going home.

And hopefully, the title of Sobby's song is an omen

There are rumours that the quadruple elimination won't happen now. Which is good in a way, as it would probably have left us with Grace and Rat Soup for the next 4 weeks .

So- I'm off to check if dd1's football has been postponed, and then i need to sort out snacks for later.

I'm also a bit confused as to whether all the acts are singing together tonight...

Slightly disappointed that no-one is doing I Want Your Sex.

Ah well, there's always the chance of a wildcard act!! 😂

Snacks & wine have been purchased. See you all later

If Skavko was still in, he would definitely have been doing 'I want your sex' probably in a mash up.

I am at Ikea.i have ginger biscuits and have lost the will to live.

I think the girls got.last pick of the songs..... all abit slow and dull.

I'm checking in for later, I am armed with snacks and

Raahh I think you're right, sobby's song is an omen
Typical they gave Grace that song..

It will be interesting to hear Rat soup sing a song that isn't their own.

The song Matt is singing too is just typical, they just want all the ladies to fall in love with him.

Who left last week? I missed it.

Tracy-Leanne went last week I think Agent

Thanks. I didn’t think she’d last long!

I'm in! Thanks Raahh

Love our George so hope the songs won't be slaughtered. faint hope

I saw Tracy Leanne go, thank the lord, that song from last week was a travesty and my ears are only just getting over it. Shame I couldn't be online reading all your comments about it

See, the other problem with splitting the categories over two nights is look what happens now( assuming they are not all singing tonight).

The boys/ overs only have 2 acts left each. So that would make a very short show

But I can't seem to find anywhere that says whether they are split. Or going back to the old format. And if so- what happens about the amazing prize??

I said on the last thread, the thought of Tracey Leanne doing George in her horrible fake Amy Winehouse affected voice would have made me throw things at the tv. So I am very relieved she left.

Of course, we have Seen and Conor the mumble chums , who Simon thinks so much of, to warn me incoherently through Freedom. So, we will still suffer.

• warble not warn me!

*Sean. Stupid phone.

It seems like they haven't thought the new format through properly!
Unless they just drop the prizes etc and go back to the old format when they have no choice.

I'm watching Strictly and sipping waiting for X factor to start

I just had a little look over on the Strictly thread, they are very serious about it all aren't they

Music oh, they are.

I was reading through and chuckling to myself

I am watching Strictly and wondering what the agenda is this year, really.
They seem hell bent on really crushing the spirits of some of the celebs. I really don't like Shirley at all.

Lloyd is an incredible talent.

I don't like Shirley either Raahh I feel for Mollie, her confidence has been knocked to shreds.
Alexandra.com did well again, looks like she's heading to win.

Interesting choice for Rai-Elle. That song gives me goosebumps when sung by George. I hope she does it well.

I have a problem with Burke.com. They seem to be treating her like the winner already, the way they did right from the beginning on X Factor. It bugs me.

I think Mollie got grief, indirectly, because of the whole Aston backlash, which is really unfair. She looked so upset.

Noisy I love it too. It's my favourite on the album. It's an amazing song.

And when Stevie Wonder himself played it at the Michael Jackson memorial, I was in bit.

I hope so too Noisy

I agree Raahh they are kissing her shoes at the mo.
