Simon being tactical? He knew if it went to 'deadlock' vote that John & Edward would go through............hmmmm

Not that I watch it of course!

I think that everyone should now vote for the twins to win and that would teach Simon a lesson - you think he'd like them on his recording label?!?!?!

I think Simon knows exactly how to keep the X factor on everyone's lips. he keeps his viewing figures high, removes possible competition for his boys, and keeps John and Edward high profile to make money out of them in various ways after the series finishes.....He is nobody's fool.

I think Simon did the right thing. He let the public decide. If people were that keen on the girl who got voted off, they should've put their money where their mouths are and voted for her.

Surely, it is about doing the right thing and voting for the people who we think sing the best, so they stay in the competition.

She has a point here.

My husband thinks there must be a uni conspiracy going around that everyone votes for the twins to mess things up a little. Who knows, all I know is despite what I say I'm still watching it but viewing it more as entertaining naff than a decent talent show from now on. It's up to Simon if that's how he wants people to start seeing it.

I ssoooooooooooooo wish BBC would come in with a competitor show for ''real'' talent, similar to that one they did ages ago (forget the name) and all the musicals auditions, they were superb!

I don't see why it can't be public vote every week to be honest. That seems only fair.

Very true xxxxxxx

Fame Academy?

Very true!

I was voting, I liked Danyl, but tbh, I think this is the forgettable year, like Steve and Leon (?) the ones that just don't cut it....no Leona's in there lets be fair!
