iT IS ANNOYING WHEN PEOPLE THINK IT IS A FIX.

iT ISN'T. tHE PUBLIC VOTED. tHEY WERE IN THE BOTTOM.

TreyC (stupid spelling) sounded crap for the past two weeks and even worse in the singoff tonight

This!
It's really getting tiresome now with judges calling Katie a fighter,she gave up last night just as she did in the judges houses and didn't complete the song.It's not Katie being a fighter that keeps her there ,it's the judges.

It's sad really as Katie has been a mess for a few weeks now and I really don't think they are doing her any favours keeping her there.I know Simon has invested alot in her financially to get her out of sony record deal but the poor girl looks as if she is on the verge of a breakdown.
Ah well it has everyone talking about X-factor this morn so Simon will be happy.

I'm glad Katie is still in, let's face it she is one of the most interesting people on X Factor ever, Treyc was a good singer but she was boring.

Exactly.

Ah clever Simon - he made a comment about the negative press and said it was better to have that negativity than no press at all. If you look at it that way the right decision was made for the show because Katie keeps it high profile with her spoilt drama queen antics - carefully mentored by the queen of drama Cheryl - just a shame that his message to us is that our votes are pointless.

yes and also that the sing off is pointless as well.

Simon's manipulation has hit new heights IMO

For 'interesting' read ' free publicity'. I personally dont find Katie interesting, I find her manipulative, childish, petulant and untrue but not interesting. I would suggest to Simon that her being in the bottom 2 3 out of 5 weeks tells a story that the voting public ALSO dont find her interesting. Headlines are one thing but peeing off your voting viewers has taken it to a new level.

I think Simon needs to take a reality check - he is always saying that the show belongs to the public and that he has great faith in the public and that they usually vote in the right way ... if that is the case Simon then why keep arguably the most unpopular contestant ever in? Surely this is prolonging HER agony, giving her more negative press, building on the bandwagon of hate etc etc etc, this cannot be good for her in any way

If you are in the bottom 2 3 weeks out of 5 then what chance do you actually have of selling records in the future?

And regarding Cole, well I do find it unfair that Dermot went to her 2nd, she should have been last so that if 3 majority decisions had been made she would be spared but if not then she could have forced the deadlock. HOWEVER ... you are a judge, there to make critiques (which musically and vocally you dont do), you are there to make a decision on who out of the bottom 2 should go home (which last night you didnt do). You get paid millions, have a huge budget for your hair . makeup / clothes yet flit off and leave your acts midweek for your own personal gain without a word to them ... IMO the backlash is deserved on her

Katie-WTF
 

What does she have to do to get elliminated.Shes fluffed lines of the song at her audition,judges house and now in a sing off.People slag off Wagner but at least he finishes the song-and Louis usually gives him two to perform on the night.Flopping to her backside like a petulant child while pleading with us not to give up on her.Katie,you are all sizzle and no steak-a complete chancer of the first order.

Looks like Simon was engineering a fix to keep her in which Cheryl played along with.Dermot usually comes to the mentor last if both their acts are in the bottom 2.This would most likely have sent katie packing.

all true

Peeps should have voted for TreyC more then:p.
