The x fixta (factor)

What do you think?

Well annoyed with the results on Sunday, I know its light entertainment but such obvious fixing and favouritism (?) for one person is beyond.

Come to the vote, Katie and Treyc sing it out for the judges to decide. Whay they have to decide I dont know, any how both Cheryl's acts.

Dermot asks Simon who to send home = Treyc (even though he admits she better singer and always going on about a singing competition)

Then for some totally strange reason he asks Cheryl who she is sending home, er excuse me! If i'm not wrong the judge who's act it is, always gets asked last??

Anyhow Cheryl stated that she wasnt voting and if she had she would vote last (as usual) and send it too deadlock (lowest public vote). Dermot then strangely decides its become a majority vote with only 3 judges voting and cheryl not.

After this turn of events Treyc gets the boot and bought out of a contract Katie, who has a family who knows a relevant person in the show, gets saved....

Blatent Fixing!!!!
SIMPLES!

  • yeah,i was a bit annoyed with it last night! After Katie's little strop while preforming her save me song i was surprised she stayed in and treyc got sent home. I pointed out to my OH and said that things were not right, like the points you mentioned sinw,and if i remember rightly,previous years,the judges HAD to choose who to send home, they couldnt cop out IYNWIM.

    I dont think im going to watch it anymore because its just going beyond a joke IMHO!

    Simon says "I have to go with who I think the public will want to see.." - what a total joke! Has he not got the picture* that the public hate Katie?!



    *(obviously he has and its all about generating PR for his show)

    As long as that old boy wins surely we are all happy.

    Last time the masses vetoed the Christmas No 1, this time fix the winner.. great.

  • I missed the show last night, but caught it on iplayer this morning.

    I thought Katie's singing on both the saturday and her "survival" song was terrible...the girl cannot sign. And the little strop in the middle of it was pathetic.

    I really want Matt to win

    In reality there has only ever been one winner on each and every series, and that would be Mr Cowell.

    You have to admire his ingenuity :T
