She has that kind of Stevie Nicks, gypsy kind of look to her, and is initially appealing but I now find her boring.

Whenever a competitor is eliminated I'll rebuild the odds. Any bets placed after the elimination will be at my new odds regardless of whether I've announced them before the bet or not.

I agree, although he really got the hearts of the judges last week, but he isn’t strong enough to carry that through every week.

I dislike his makeover also, why change him to ginger? It doesnt suit him, he looks like a pub crooner..Eoghan and JLS maybe in the bottom two with Daniel but they have a better chance of staying,,imo:D

It's sat there to cushion me against those horrendous losses I might end up paying!

The only thing that'll let me avoid these risks would be more people placing more bets please. I don't have enough yet to start pushing out longer odds anywhere. Bring in more punters, that's what we need now we've worked out how to do this.
