I think there’s a select few people that I can only see being faithfuls (ie James Blunt, Amol, Julie, Joanne)

I can see Rob and/or Romesh being a traitor very easily, same for either Michael or Richard

Miranda, if she is a traitor will be another Alan/Linda and u have no complaints whatsoever about that, similarly applies to Joe and James Acaster

Bella can be fantastic in both, I can’t wait to see them in this series altogether

Jerry, Kenny and Myhala i don’t know them too well (var Jerry on strictly but she seemed quite cold when she did) so I can’t say what I think on them

Maya I imagine being either a traitor like Rachel in season four or Armani in season 3

Leigh-Anne and Hannah I feel will be the detectives of the crew - but I feel like Leigh-Anne could fall prey to a similar fate as Tameka and Clare from last series

Sebastian I think could be in a similar league if Niko as a faithful with traitor vibes from outside the castle

Sharon and Ross I feel may be faithfuls that get a small amount of screen time but
Make it quite far - similar to Kate and David last year.

Thoughts?

It’s an age old question, but in the last recent years, a lot of contestants have been if recent fame, especially dancers in global competitions and singers who featured in stage before trying to go solo (I’m referencing the likes of Sydnie Christmas and Nic Vani). However in these cases, I don’t see it fair to classify ensemble cast as “previous fame”

In terms of legitimate breakthroughs, I’m thinking more along the lines of Susan Boyle and Diversity, arguably the most difficult to choose final three (alongside Julian Smith) ever.

George Sampson was a great discovery and has done a lot of acting as well as dancing, but I haven’t seen masses of him in recent years.

But my big think is Calum Scott. In the last decade since his audition, it’s now the most viewed BGT audition online ever, and his career has grown so much.

Is there anyone else that maybe wasn’t a winner or even top three though that has become so enormous?
