Place your bets for the final! This is the last week of the contest!

Here are the revised odds for bets made this week leading into December 13th's contest in which only 3 contestants remain.

Alexandra Burke, Mentored by Cheryl, you stake 1,000 casino dollars to win 1,000 casino dollars

JLS, Mentored by Louis, you stake 1,000 casino dollars to win 2,000 casino dollars

Eoghan Quigg, Mentored by Simon, you stake 1,000 casino dollars to win 3,000 casino dollars

Now that the mentors have no more than one contestant I've replaced the mentor's name with the contestant's for this list. The current running bets are

Chezzie on Alexandra betting 2,000 to win 2,000

Chezzie on JLS betting 1,000 to win 20,000

Carolly on Alexandra betting 22,000 to win 25,000

SuzyB on Alexandra betting 2,000 to win 6,000

Kaz on Eoghan betting 1,000 to win 8,000

Kaz on Alexandra betting 2,000 to win 9,500

Mike on Alexandra betting 8,000 casino dollars to win 36,000 casino dollars

As things stand, spot the bookmaker will (depending on the final winner) be up or down from now by roughly

Alexandra down 76.5

JLS up 17

Eoghan up 29

Spot the bookmaker is pleased to note that there are no overdue debts.

4,000 casino dollars are currently due for lost stakes on Diana.

I have never seen so many guys, in one location, cry as much as on this program.

Did you see him? He was more up set than Diana. I think he loves her, I think he loves her...

Go Alex Go! Go Alex Go! :guitarist:yh_pray:yh_clap

I bought that rather antique looking coat for her mother when we were caught in a downpour near Petticoat Lane Market one Sunday morning when she was the same age, walking back to Islington from Wapping. This one looks quite like the earlier model.

Blimey my part of the world ahh.....God the lane has changed so much.My friend had a Childrens Wear shop in Wentworth Street next door the deli that sold all the herrings and stuff.....cor in my minds eye I can smell it all now.As for Wapping....I was there a couple of weeks back when we went to The Tower Hotel for a meal and had a good look round.....OMG the changes. I also had a friend who lived in Reardon Street....I fink it was called that.....tell yer though some of the properties round there now are worth a fortune as you prob know anyway.

It's not so much that I did, it's that Eleanor did too. Felicity's the same - the one in the photo. She's just as able to keep walking indefinitely as her mother was. We walk into the centre of Bristol and back most weeks.

It was so funny, we had our company Christmas party on Saturday night, and people were late down to the cocktails because they were watching the show.

The dinner was going on during the finals, and people kept running out to the bar to see what was going on.

Alex won yippeeeee
