X Factor - what a fix!!

OMG what is wrong with this show? Its supposed to be about talent - clearly the judges do not have much talent at "SPOTTING TALENT" as they have voted off great singers and have kept WAGNER!!!:mad::mad::mad:

He's never been in the bottom two. so the public feel he's talented.

If he'd been in the bottom 2 and had stayed then possibly it's a fix, but as things stand, the public are simply voting to save him week in, week out.

At least his voters/fans aren't as fickle as some of the other contestants

1. The judges only get to vote on the 2 that the public vote leaves in the bottom
2. It isn't a talent show. If it was, it wouldn't be thrown open to the public. How many of the young girls voting for One Direction are going purely for them on talent alone?
3. Wagner isn't just being kept in by people who like him. There's a campaign to keep him in from ant X-Factorites who want to get at Simon, who would have to work with him and give him a nice big contract if he wins
I watch the programme but have long since given up on it being anything to do with musical talent...Jedward last year anyone??

Same as Ann and Anton on Strictly, can't believe the way some people vote.

I dont realy watch Strictly but at least on the clips I've seen Ann seems to have a bit of fun about it. Wagner just creeps me out and keeps banging on about how he really is taking it seriously...maybe he should try listening to himself back, then listen to Matt or Rebecca and then try to honestly say he deserves to be taken as seriously as them

blame the judges for putting him through in the first place

I stopped watching it, I can't stand Simon, I wish I could vote him off.

If its that bad then stop watching it, its a load of rubbish as it is

Theres a big internet campaign to get Wagner to win so Simon has to sign him. Hardly a fix.

Surely the purpose of the X Factor is to get the public so wound up with the contestants and the judges, that the public will:

1. Watch the show, just to swear at the TV and make money for Simon Cowell as this will keep the show on air.
2. Ring up to vote, putting more money in the pocket of........... Simon Cowell

The only one who has talent is Simon Cowell, BUT his talent is making money for Simon Cowell.

I think that these shows can be easily fixed.

Public phone and vote, results announced. However - how do we (the viewer) TRULY know that the result being portrayed is real, and not just what the programme makers want us to hear, to keep us watching.
