I'm rooting for them too and I think they have lots of potential too. Being so beautiful, they are very marketable. I hope they stay in the pop/country genre and stay away from the pop/dance acts like Pussycat Dolls, Girlicious. I could see them opening up at Taylor Swift concerts.

I think a group can win and this season that category is doing well in the UK. People always say Over 30s and Groups can't win, but just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it can't. JLS made it to the finals and are now one of the biggest acts in the UK. The first season of UK X Factor was won by someone in the Over 25 category. Also a recent success story is Olly Murs whose been having #1 singles and is also the host of Xtra Factor.

Now this season I can't see a group winning (unless Lakoda MAJORLY improves and Paula picks better songs), but I could maybe see Stacey or Josh winning in Nicole's category. I don't think either should win, but it could happen. I do think they'd need a better, more creative mentor to win. I think Cheryl would've done wonders with Stacey and made her the popstar she wants to be.

I do not see Simon or LA Reid "letting" anyone in the over 30's winning, especially this year. LA Reid is really good with young acts and grooming them into stars. And the winner signs a record deal with Epic records/Sony Records, where LA is the President. I could see him have the most success with Astro.

I really, really love Lakoda Rayne. They are so good! My favorite girl is the one who was wearing the yellow dress wub.png She is so freaking hot & I think she has the most stage presence and charm.

For once I wish there was a rapper who didn't have as much of an ego, "swagger" and attitude like Astro. IMO that is NOT how all rappers have to be. I wish there were more hip hop artists who are confident but don't have that usual persona most hip hop artists seem to exude.

Ugh, Stacey Francis. Stank bitch. I really thought she was gonna go home! I was loving watching her not get called! Her face got more and more scared. LOL. Then she got called dry.png I think she's being kept on for the buzz she's generating.

I LOL every time they play that clip of her saying "I can't die with this music in me, Simon" rolleyes.gif Bitch, PLEASE! You have had a career singing in the past, as confirmed by the SEVERAL reports that have exposed your past. I wonder what the judges really think of her now?

Still don't get what's so great about Drew. I fail to see how her performance was impressive...I thought it was pretty bad. Maybe her voice is good, I just don't like how she sings at all. And LOL at her performance starting with her laying in a bunch of pink flower petals.

So glad the Stereo Hogz were saved. I felt really bad for InTENsity though, omg that little girl crying each time they were striked against was SO HARD to watch! Just devastating!

One thing about the hogz, they seem to rely heavily on that one guy whose always in the middle - LOL he's the only one who sings and gets to shine. That's pretty bad. I want to hear some of the other guys to.

Chris Rene is fading...haven't been feeling him these last 3 shows.

Also did anyone notice during the big performance on the results show, LeRoy Bell messed up and went out of synch with the song laugh.png it was so obvious he was lip synching!! Embarrasing!

Or because she sings very well and people are voting for her.

If 99.9999999999999% of the world didn't hear about her before X-Factor, and they didn't - there's no reason she shouldn't be on the show due to having a few singing gigs.

Simone is crazy in a bad way, lol.

I had felt Paula was crazy in a bad way for keeping InTENsity but their performances were really good. There were definitely about five acts that I felt should have gone before them.

I didn't agree with LA about Melanie but LA was right on about Drew. I don't think Melanie was as brilliant as she could be on the song though. It wasn't everything Simon was saying it was. She did improve from last week and she does rock the Michael Jackson songs.

I've liked Astro and Paula's girl group the most so far tonite. Astro is arrogant but he is really talented.

    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them.
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together
