Nancy (epilogue)
What did I tell you? The public, in their infinite wisdom, chose the worst of the three in the final of 'I'd do anything' on Saturday night. Sigh.
Personally, I think that Jodie won in the same way as Michelle McManus did on Pop Idol a few years ago (2003, actually) - she got the 'fat vote'.
Then again, none of my favourites have ever won any of these Saturday evening talent shows. The British public has no taste.

Well...
My, what a remarkable posting! Not that you were in any way swayed by Rachel's "come hither" smile or Samantha's hot pants.
It was their fine vocies and lovely personalities all the way, I know, I know.
And, for the record, though I felt several of the girls could have played the part, since the beginning I honestly believed Jodie was the most complete actress there. When it came to the final two, Jessie might produce the best one-off song, but she is no actress and I would have thought a probable nightmare for a director (as proven through the run of this show where she could not take direction week after week & they had to resort to 'Oh be yourself').
So there was cheering here.
Though as for the other talent show on at the same time, I was following your criteria and rooting for Escala. It took me a while to notice they were playing instruments, which made them even more talented.
I think you're giving me a bit of bad press here. While it would be accurate to say that I considered Jodie the least attractive of the final 3 (or, indeed, 4), that wasn't my primary selection criterion.
Looks aside, I thought that Jessie had the best voice, and the fantastically sexy asymmetric smile was just a bonus. I thought that Samantha was - by far - the best dancer of the lot, but I didn't actually find her that attractive; she wasn't my 'type' (as you might say; I'm not really that interested in skinny things in hot pants...).
And for the record, the person in this house who most wanted Rachel to win was my wife. I don't think the 'come hither' smile came into it there.
Escala? Well, they were far too posh to win a talent show on ITV. I'm sure they were all called things like 'Pippa' or 'Bunty' and still refer to their parents as 'Daddy' and 'Mummy'... And if I was judging by looks rather than talent, Escala wouldn't really have been my first choice. Well, one of them might have been...
But once again, the public showed a tremendous lack of ability to judge talent. While the wee boy was quite good, he wasn't even the best dancer in the final, let alone the most talented.
OK, OK, you're not shallow.
Mind you, as for looks, when it came to one of the finalists in BGT, one of them was a real dog.
