According to today's Sun, John and Edward Grimes topped the poll in The X Factor last weekend. And we know that Simon Cowell's favourite, Danyl Johnson came next to last.
That will explain why Simon called an emergency meeting on Sunday evening to discuss why the story board was veering so far off plan. Simon's bank balance could not accept the twins winning the show in December? What to do?
Expect them to be on stage first on Saturday before most viewers have settled down or switched over from Strictly Come Dancing - and with a weak song and not much choreography. Brian Friedman has excelled with some excellent choreography particularly in diva week. And if other good singers like Stacey Solomon just stand there like a statue and sing with no emotion the viewers may continue to vote for the act which brightens up their weekend viewing.
Simon will be well aware that Pop Idol was trashed the day that Michelle McManus won the second series. A franchise that went on to become the most successful in the US with American Idol ceased to be broadcast on British TV - and allowed him to launch The X Factor in the UK two years later. Simon would not like to see history repeated just yet.
