X Factor Top 35 Countdown - Week 1

It's the ONLY chart that counts!

Welcome to the first Fantasy X Factor chart, 35 runners and riders taking part this week so let's see how you've got on.

Scoring:

All acts score +3 points for singing this week, except for Girlband who were in the bottom two who score +2 points and Bad Lashes who were eliminated and score only +1 point.
All judges still have all three acts in the competition and score +9 points, apart from Louis who only has two acts and is therefore only worth +6 points.
Predictions. Anyone picking Louis as this week's losing judge walks away with +3 points. Anyone predicting Girlband would be leaving scores +2 for a near miss, but two managers correctly predicted Bad Lashes would be out on their ear this week, and score a massive +9 point bonus.

So that's how the points break down, it's time for the top 35 countdown!

As you can see, you can refer to this chart to determine who your team is if you forget. The only thing we keep secret is your current choice of winner.

And congratulations, it's number one with a bullet for Mika and Sam B who managed to score the maximum of 27 points this week with some inspired guesswork. It's an early lead, but anything can happen!

What you need to do for next week:

Now you've seen them perform live, if you want to swap one of your acts or judge out for another (this is highly recommended if you have Bad Lashes in your team, as they will score zero from now on) then you should use the form to write down your transfer. Transfers will cost you 5 points.
You need to make a prediction for next week's loser. No prediction = no points.
If after yesterday's show you think you're backing the wrong horse and you think your winner's prediction is wrong, you can change it! But if it does come in, your new prediction will only be worth 36 points at the end of the series. If you need to know what you've put down, ask me in the transfers and comment box and I'll get back to you.

Until next week, good luck pop pickers!
