And the winner is (in the 'winner will never in a milllion year will be' sense)…

Not many Leonas in this year's X Factor, eh? It's just as well Same Difference — the most 'Nat & Georgia' pop brother and sister since Natasha and Daniel Bedingfield — are on hand to provide a reason to not be in the pub at half seven on a Saturday evening.

Here is the weekend's second best TV moment.

Amazing. Louis Walsh doesn't have a clue what he is talking about.

This might actually be one example of pop actually being 'just a bit of fun' (usually a phrase used to defence totally un-fun and desperate rubbish), in that the people on the stage are the ones having the fun. It is sort of heartwarming.

In other X‑Factor thoughts, Hope need to remember to get dressed before they go on stage next weekend, Niki needs to stop shouting and Futureproof need to gay things up a bit. We don't like Rhydian much but he might win it. The rest are a big blob of boring and Sharon Osbourne is never ever EVER going to win this year…
