(I really thought that the fan site above was a joke from one of the regulars here! Apparently not.)
So has anyone heard of any of the other contestants getting work after being on the show? I was so sceptical about them getting something, but everyone I watched this with seemed to believe it was a big break for them all, and none of them would come out of it jobless.

According to someone at DS who spoke to Keisha, she's "going to be in a film". Hopefully it'll be something classy, and not like every other film reality-rejects have ended up on ie - shot on a Handicam in somebody's back garden in Rochdale.

Jodie's now ex-fiancee has done a fairly nasty kiss and tell in the News Of The World. Having "snatched" victory from poor Jessie, she's now become the West End's Heather Mills.
The best allegation is that she didn't meet him salsa dancing, but on sugardaddie.com.

I bet it was all Chief Press Officer Buckley's doing. Bridgey xxx

He was so sweet bouncing around in the front row; that's very sad. But any sympathy I may have had for him is utterly destroyed by him going to the NOTW.
Whatevs. I didn't vote for Jodie because of her romantic JOURNEY.

News from WhatsOnStage: Nancy 'Nancy' Sullivan (remember her who didn't get in the final 12, but blatantly should have?) is to play Eponine in Les Miserables from next week, while Niamh 'GothNancy' Perry and Keith 'Supermarket' Jack are to appear in a new musical in Edinburgh over the summer.

That is just the most amazing news ever!! I boycotted the lowculture sweep because of her unfair dismissal- I still remember how she took it with such grace and good humour. And as an added bonus I had already decided to see les mis next month. Hurrah!

And Leanne from Maria? is cast as Cosette. I was like "Who?" Here's her pic, she does exist. Cam Mac had this to say "In a press statement, producer Cameron Mackintosh commented, "It is very exciting to see new talent coming into the West End at the moment. Thanks to Andrew Lloyd Webber and the success of BBC television programmes such as 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria' and 'Any Dream Will Do,' new audiences are coming to the theatre. These programmes have also helped unearth some tremendous talent, many of whom have gone on to star in many other West End productions. Although both Nancy and Leanne may have missed out on the respective roles they were vying for in these shows, their talents did not go unnoticed. I was delighted to give them the chance to win parts in Les Misérables which I'm sure they will be terrific in. I also recently cast Daniel Boys, one of the Joseph finalists in BBC's 'Any Dream Will Do,' in Avenue Q where he has enjoyed great success. Katie Hall, who [was] featured in early episodes of 'I'd Do Anything,' has also recently been cast in the ensemble of The Phantom of the Opera – where she will have the opportunity to cover the role of Christine.""

Sparkle has this to say - "Fuck off, CamMac, you ungracious miserable patronising bastard."

I can't remember if this has been posted on here yet, but Amy Booth-Steel (the first Nancy eliminated in the public vote) is going to be in All Bob's Women in the West End.

Except it closes on Sunday after being pummelled by the critics. Six performances in the West End for poor Amy. Not even EIGHT SHOWS.

There was a letter in the Radio Times about Jodie/Jessie, and while I didn't see the first one, this was the reply:
Yes, Tony, were you in the chat room celebrating with the people from here?

I saw the first one, and it was part of a multi-letter pro-Jessie spread. I think she must have a fan at the RT.

There was a letter in whatever TV mag it is my mum gets moaning about how Jessie was robbed due to John Barrowman's 'favouritism' towards Jodie. I hope he's flattered that someone thinks he has that much influence over the voting public.

So Cam Mac saying 'Jessie IS Nancy' wouldn't have any effect? Funny how judges are only influential when your favourite loses, Mrs Letter Writer or Mr Letter Writer.

HELL TO THE NAW: Don't you fucking dare, CamMac. Don't you fucking dare. And apparently Bill Kenwright wants Jessie for the tour of Cabaret, too. Sally Bowles could totally be Irish, right?

Wouldn't that be like putting Nikki back in the BB house? Shouldn't the voters in the final get their money back, since they voted for Jodie to be their West End leading lady? I say TV PHONE VOTES SCAM, and I am writing to the Daily Mail.
EDIT: Wouldn't you love to see Rachel's face if Jessie got Sally Bowles, after her audition performance of Cabaret on the show?

Sally Bowles is supposed to be a desperately mediocre nightclub performer, full of cliches and awkward stage presence. Jessie could pull that off without even trying.
