There will now be an eviction on Saturday night as well as Sunday night after pep talk from disappointed show boss


Simon's warning: 'You put out a rubbish record it doesn’t chart. If you do a rubbish performance on the night, you’re out'

Angry*Simon Cowell*has ordered all the*X Factor*contestants to his office and told them he’s adding an extra eviction this weekend because he’s so disappointed in their singing.

There will now be an eviction on Saturday night as well as Sunday night this weekend in what Cowell called a “wake up call” to the singers.

Speaking to the contestants, Cowell said: “There’s going to be another double elimination again this weekend, and the difference is this week is there is going to be a twist.

"And the twist is, on the Saturday, the person with the lowest vote is going to leave the show. No sing off, just whoever is in the bottom is out. And there’s a sing off on Sunday. So there are no second chances.

“This is how important the conversation is now and how important the performance is on Saturday and Sunday. We decided to do this because I think you all need a bit of a wake up call.

“And I think you’ve got to understand what I’m saying isn’t just words, it’s reality, you’ve all got to build up your game now and you’ve got to be the best you’ve ever been because this is really what the music business is like.

“You put out a rubbish record it doesn’t chart. If you do a rubbish performance on the night, you’re out.

“This isn’t a gimmick, because I actually can look at each and every one of you and look you in the eye and say, you are all genuinely all capable of winning this competition, every single one of you.

“I’ve never been in this situation before, it’s the closest we’ve ever been. Okay, some of you haven’t had the best performances, some of you haven’t had the best songs. But, from here on in, I wouldn’t put a bet on who’s going to win, and it’s all on you now.”

Cowell hopes the pep talk and extra eviction will lead to an improved show at the weekend, as he tries to catch up with Strictly in the ratings.

A source said: “Simon called all the contestants to his office to give them a dressing down. He hasn’t been very impressed with the sing offs so far and feels there isn’t any excuse for people performing badly, as this is when they should be really fighting for their place in the competition.*

“That’s why he’s decided to introduced an elimination on Saturday to give the contestants a bit of a wake up call and get them to up their game.”

But not all the contestants took his words too seriously, as some of the X Factor singers were seen out partying at nightclub Mahiki just hours later.

Bands Stereo Kicks and Only The Young risked the wrath of Cowell and Louis Walsh by partying

Could be bad for OTY since they were in the bottom two last week. :worry:

Because he's disappointed in them....... as opposed to it being a production decision to try to breathe some life into this dull series.

Great idea, hopefully it gets one of the bore males out of the competition

mel b better give jack a great song then :(

Hope Lola is utter wank again.

Yeah for some reason he seems to get the worst/least fitting songs each week. He's my favorite act but so far I've only really enjoyed his week 1 performance.

loved his performance last week to be honest, i voted for him 20 times

moorangu at mel b

Yeah Mel B needs to get her act together when it comes to song choices. I'm also so bored of Andrea getting the biggest songs each week. The favoritism is unreal.

i wasn't keen on andrea on his audition, i knew he would be the boring one, he is the boy version of sam bailey

You've got more of a chance of Ben getting a good song choice off Simon than this.

Looks like they're trying to get rid of Stevi. :think:

Tbh Jack's a gonner unless he pulls something amazing out of the bag.

Wonder if this is actually true as I don't think the schedule will allow it

Agree we need to get rid of the males especially the twat with the guitar

noty.

It'll be someone sort-of unexpected (ie. haven't been bottom-two yet) on Saturday, then, and the bands will battle it out on Sunday I should think. If I had to guess, I'd say we're saying tata to Stevi and Only the Young this weekend.

Really hope Only the Young are safe this week, I can see Lola leaving this week and maybe Jack (really hope not :( )

I really don't like this idea! 10 minutes being able to vote :( i'm worried

Hopefully Lola or Stevie are sent packing then :fc:

it most likely be jack, OTY or stevi

i could live with a Jack elimination tbh, he's been a bit wank during the live shows, wouldn't be a great loss to the competition.. but then again, i don't think he's shown what he's really capable of yet.

I reckon Paul's in with a chance of going, too.

Jack and Stereo kicks/stevi out please!

Ahh, I like Paul but i agree with you, he isn't warming to the public very much.
