*Mary Byrne*, well she certainly has the likeable factor and is doing for the mature bbw everywhere; she looked fabulous and gave a salutary performance which impressed me a lot! She sang’ This is a Man’s World’ by James Brown and the place went crazy for her, she was note perfect!

Betting: Mary will get massive support from her home country Ireland and her Tesco colleagues and a Top 3 finish at 2.75 with Unibet 30€ Bonus! has to be grabbed.
*Nicolo Fiesta* was not given the best song choice and this was to his determent, he sang ‘Just Dance’ by Lady Gaga

The result: Voted off. Out of the competition.
*One Direction* is the boy band put together via the judges in Boot Camp. A cute performance; they sang ‘Viva la Viva’ (Cold Play). I don’t think they have the same chemistry as Belle Amie (yet) however they have much scope to develop and I can image being teenage pin ups as they are a good looking young group.

Betting: One of the BIG favourites, and Unibet is highest with 5.75. I need to see more before any recommendation. No bet.
*Wagner Carrilho* the last wild card, he sang ‘She Bangs/ Love Shack’ (Ricky Martin/ B52’S)and was very entertaining to watch. Ok, so he is not a great singer but he was entertaining and that’s part of the package! I don’t think the judges knew what to make of him, but I was cheering him on along with the rest of the public.

Betting: Bookie favourite to be eliminated this weekend. Ladbrokes 50£ in Free bets! offer only 4.50 – but I think he will sail through to the next round!
*Aiden Grimshaw* was brilliant! This Blackpool lad looked and sounded like a star as he performed ‘Mad World’ by Gary Jules. It was great! Definitely one of the judges favourites and I’m sure he will go down with the female fans he is accruing very quickly!

Betting: Boylesports 20£ in Free bets!’s winner odds down from 10.00 (last week) to best priced 6.00. NO BET.
*Treyc Cohen* was another wild card with real stage presence on stage. A pleasant surprise! ‘One’ (U2) was sung with grace and power, she has a great voice and looks amazing. However I just can’t put my finger on it, something is missing!
The song: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheXFactorUK#p/c/87A4836EB1B0E8B7/14/ielo1D1XQCQ
Betting: Good singer, but not close to the quality of previous winners like Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke … NO BET despite Unibet offering winner odds of 20.00.
