DUMPED diva Brenda Edwards last night said she expected to be voted off The X Factor - because most of the show's fans are women and prefer "cute young guys".
Next week's final will be an all-male sing-off between Shayne Ward, Andy Abraham and Journey South brothers Carl and Andy Pemberton.
And mum-of-two Brenda, 36, who has lost 35lb since the series began, reckoned: "It's definitely to do with there being so many women fans.
"You have a lot of cute young guys and they are far more likely to be voted for. That's just the way it is so I wasn't surprised I went out."
After losing out on Saturday despite stirring performances of Respect and Without You, Brenda sped across London to sing at G.A.Y.
She went down a storm - unlike poor Journey South who were booed for beating her to the final.
I dont think journey south were booed for beating her to the final the audience were booing at the fact she was voted off at all. I entirely agree the andy should have gone he was by far the weakest performer, for the last 3 weeks. journey south have a very strong following so i doubt they were being booed for their performance which was excellent. brendas trouble is that like maria she was far too good for the competition she was by far head and shoulders above all 12 acts. I sincerley hope she gets a record deal as would certaily buy it.
