Groups bet still looks a good one to me - not sure I can take it since I can't watch the shows at the mo and dont know what the potential acts are, but with Cowell in charge and no previous group winner I think we will see them being ramped like crazy by the producers.

14-25 women were always gonna struggle after Leonna, over 25s have no appeal to producers and limited appeal to public...this does look a straight 14-25 Male v Groups face off, and while the former should always be favs in such a situation, all the other factors make this one look not too far off even.

Cowell always plays a clever game when it comes to voting people off and choosing his comments carefully, and I would hate to be sitting with a bet on someone else while Cowell + the producers put all their powers into engineering a groups victory.

That's my take anyway, just depends if they have the necessary fodder.
