Report validated x Kinda felt like an inevitability sadly, but Let's Go Round Again has been in my head all week. You've done well since coming back Jay

That was a close one for The Saturdays... don't think (imo) it'd have felt right if they weren't in the final! But also a shame to lose CHVRCHES because I've never really paid them any attention before now and some great discoveries from this!! So thank you Ansel Also at both of the Golden Wagners being eliminated, y'all had a secret agenda xx

35 in the end! Not astronomical numbers obviously, but with only 24 actual participants (and only 7 current), it's great that there's been a lot of other support

And in the interest of fairness and no influence on votes in the final, the Semi Final results will not be shared until after the final when - gasp - the competition will have drawn to a close

@JosephBoone @Addy! @King Rollo @vibe @Scene You have until 18:59 tomorrow (13th July) to submit your TWO song choices for the GRAND FINAL of The Pop Factor! Confirm HERE!

The Rogue Trader... if you choose to save CHVRCHES we'll go to deadlock and revert to the earlier public vote. If you choose to save The Saturdays they will be through to the GRAND FINAL and CHVRCHES will be eliminated... Please give me the name of the artist you'd like to SAVE and keep in the competition... "Well I don't know what's happening here because I turned up at the arena door hoping to fleece you all out of some money for some dodgy jobs and now I'm sat on this panel choosing between a day of the week and some buildings. But if I must... The artist I want to save is... THE SATURDAYS!" Which means that The Saturdays, you are THROUGH to the Grand Final of The Pop Factor. Sadly, CHVRCHES finish in sixth place and are eliminated from the competition.

Veronica Viper, please give me the name of the artist that you'd like to SAVE and keep in the competition. "Well f*** CHVRCHESssssss' drag, am I right? Lord knows what these bitchesssss next to me are sssssmoking. The artist I choose to ssssssave and keep in the competition is CHVRCHES."

Snazzy Shaznay, please give me the name of the artist that you'd like to SAVE and keep in the competition. "Well Dermot, I mean RitaBot... Keeping it snazzy, as always... The artist I want to save is... THE SATURDAYS"

Paddy J, please give me the name of the artist that you'd like to SAVE and keep in the competition. "Well, y'know it's a tough one, it really is... but I'm gonna go wit' my gut. The artist I want to put troo to the final is... THE SATURDAYS"

Our guest judges for the Semi Final - Paddy J, Snazzy Shaznay, Veronica Viper and The Rogue Trader - have all decided which of the bottom two artists they want to SAVE and keep in the competition. In the event of a tie, we'll go to DEADLOCK where we revert to the public vote.

Only one more artist is guaranteed a place in the GRAND FINAL... The other two will have to face the special guest judges who will determine who goes through and who goes home. The final artist to make it through to the GRAND FINAL... is... Which means that CHVRCHES and The Saturdays, you are the bottom two artists and one of you will be eliminated from The Pop Factor tonight!

The third artist definitely performing again in the GRAND FINAL is...

The second artist safely through to the GRAND FINAL is...

The first artist securing their place in the GRAND FINAL is...

First of all... The artist with the lowest number of overall points... Immediately eliminated from The Pop Factor in seventh place is...

Opening the Semi Final results show before we announce the FINAL FIVE are... 1 MAJOR BBC DOCUMENTARY SERIES... 5 MEMBERS... 2 EXTENDED PLAYS RELEASED... 1 TOP 3 SINGLE ON THE UK SALES CHART... 1 PERFORMANCE ON STRICTLY COME DANCING... DEARALICE!

7 are about to become 5...
