Not a homophobia thing here, but how many people on these singing reality-competition shows have won the whole thing and have been openly gay. Sure there was Will Young, but he only came out after he won the thing. I don't think anyone has ever won the show like this while being openly gay or bisexual. Prince Poppycock got close, as did Branden James–and Steven Retchless would've gone farther if Piers didn't have some unnatural hatred towards the guy (which, unlike the hatred towards Those Funny People, I don't completely get). He'll do fine.

Anyways, I agree that Calysta and Brian are safe, Clairvoyants are safe, and Viktor is the underdog of the entire competition and SHOULD go through; after all, he's my current favorite contestant still in the competition, so how could I not hope the best for him? My fear is that he comes down into the Judges Choice against a singer, where Simon will automatically vote against him because of the singer (likely Jayna). That fifth spot should probably go to Brundage, but will likely go to Jayna.
