well, i remember reading in i think it was The Sun newspaper mid week last week that Paije had loads of bets of £100 or more on that he would be going this week so the odds of him leaving had to be lowered, so there must have been some inside knowledge there!

Or it could be the big campaigns that are making people vote for the others to guarantee they go out..

After the whole fiasco that ITV have had in the past with regards to fake winners they are being very very carefull about things and everything is open to scrutiny including the vote counting which gets sent to OFCOM.

unless your saying that OFcom are in on it as well?

It isn't about talent, it's about having the X factor.

If the story about Wagner being kept in by people paying Simon Cowell thousands of pounds to register votes in order to get at Simon Cowell, it is quite amusing. Just goes to show you about a fool and their money..

The voting figures are given to OFCOM to validate, so I'm guessing they are correct.

Pretty sure with technology it would be easy to fix, it would only need to be a few auto diallers set to the numbers they want to keep and bobs the proverbial relative.

With the budget of a show like the x-factor, do you think Cowell would really leave it to the public to decide, just for the sake of a few thousand £s in votes?

Wagner is still there for only one reason, the publicity it makes Cowell and his show.

X Factor is about talent. But only marketable talent, people that can make Simon even more money. Even Jedward have talent, not in singing obviously, but a talent for annoying people! Wagnker (as I call him) also has this ability.
