What's the worst robbery in the history of X factor?
 

Poll incoming...

Ryan Lochte's

#findgamu

Gamu and Laura White. Rebecca and Matt were the best two voices so that was right :nono:

I agree but in terms of what Cher and one direction went on to achieve and how much airtime they got throughout the series I'm suprised they weren't the top 2, Matt and Rebecca flopped but then again so have Cher and one direction now

Out of those I'd say Laura White, but I came here to say Maria Lawson. She was the best that series and her elimination was a big controversy at the time.

Also a robbery is Fleur not winning(also being sent home so early in the X factor game but we won't talk about that haha)

Matt is still going, didn't hit the big time like One Direction but he's actually still going unlike One D are now :p Plus anyway I don't even think that matters, imo he was more talented than Cher and One D so deserved to win, he may not have been as marketable but he's still used his platform to probably have a solid enough career for a good long time and anyway it didn't even matter to One D that they didn't win, Simon Cowell was always going to snap them up regardless

Jedward saved over Lucie Jones
Lauren Murray saved over 4th impact

Cheryl continuing her racism by not putting Gamu through

Rita Ora being racist and only sending a POC home each week :bored:

Lucie Jones going over Jedward was a travesty. She literally sang perfectly in the sing off - I think this was honestly the turning point as far as Simon's credibility goes. Carolynne going over Rylan as well is a joke.

Laura White deserved to go home. I liked her but Ruth outsang and outclassed her.

That was justified. 4th Impact were overrated, they screeched every week and dhould have gone home way before they did.

Not when Rita Ora was the reason they went home with her racist vote and comments all week about basically how Asian dress sense wasn't marketable in the UK, vile woman :umm2:

for me Carolynne Poole leaving in week 1, i thought she absolutely slayed with that version of Starships


and the Ella vs James sing off, they were both too good to be in the sing off in my opinion :)

Jamie going over Lloyd.

Will always be Lucie ;(

The ones who I think were robbed in my opinion

Daniel De bourg voted off week2 in season4
Austin Drage voted off week4 season 5 and he sung the best in the sing off by a country mile
Harmoney Hood sent home at the judges houses instead of jedward season6
Ethan boroian being sent home at judges houses instead of Lloyd Daniels in season6
Duane Lamonte being sent home at judges houses instead of Rikki Loney in season6
TheReason being sent home at judges houses instead of one direction in season7
Paige Richardson being sent home at judges houses instead of Nicolo in season7
Marlon McKenzie being sent home at judges houses instead of Aiden Grimshaw at judges houses in season7
John Wilding being sent home at judges houses instead of Frankie cocozza in season8
Joe Cox being sent home at judges houses instead of James Michael in season8
The Risk had the least votes in week5 in season8
Amelia Lily was voted off in week1 in series 8 instead of Janet devlin
TimesRed being sent home at judges houses in season9 instead of union J
District3 being thrown under the bus for union J in season9
Melanie McCabe not in the final in season 10 instead of Abi
Next of kin not getting a chair in season 10 but Gary Barlow gives kingsland road one
Concept being sent home at judges houses instead of Stereo kicks in season 11
New Kings Order not making the final 12 instead of Reggie and bollie season12
Havva Rebke not making the final 12 instead of Keira weathers season12

I voted Gamu, but I just remembered The Risk lol. They were so underrated.

I don't know about Cher but Matt certainly hasn't flopped,he's just done his forth tour and is about to release his 4th album,he's not in your face and in the press all the time but he is still going strong.

All of the options in the poll were justified and/or hilarious. Carolynne going was the funniest night on here with the outrage over a ****ing wannabe Shania Twain. Only one in the poll that was a bad decision was Laura

Joe Mcdull winning over Olly

What kind of hot mess

its x-factor

ie something charismatic that makes a star, its like opposite day when that dick won

Wagner not winning

Here is my list of contestants being robbed-

• Series 1 - Cassie Compton being sent home over Tabby Callaghan & G4
• Series 2 - Maria Lawson being sent home all together! She should have won!
• Series 5 - Laura White being sent home!
• Series 6 - Stacey Solomon not winning! Also Lucie Jones being sent home over Jedward
• Series 7 - Gamu not making the live shows. Also Cher not winning
• Series 8 - Sending Jade Richsards home over Janet. Sophie Habibis going home (IMO she should have won!)
• Series 9 - sending Amy Mottram home over Lucy Spraggan. Jade Ellis being sent home before Rylan. Also Carolynne Poole going week 1
• Series 10 - Relley C not making the lives over Abi Alton. Tamera Foster not winning the show
• Series 11 - Fleur not winning, Stevi Ritchie keeping his seat at 6 chair challenge and Janet Grogan being sent home
• Series 12 - Monica Michael being absolutely sabotaged and then being sent home

Welcome to the forum :) it's clear your an X factor fan, we have an X factor game on this forum you might be interested in playing?

I forgot a robbery... Rachel Adedeji being sent home over Lloyd Daniels even though her sing off was incredible

I voted for the 2014 Cheryl's crap decisions. Sending Steph Nala and Chloe Jasmine (sorry) over Lola Saunders and Kerianne Covell was a ****ing outrage. At least Lola got her shot though and did better than the other 2 who shouldn't have been picked (although I did like Chloe Jasmine and she could have been the wildcard).

Sophie Habibis went way too early, some bad song choices that didn't match her voice really messed with her votes. Her voice is probably one of my favourites from the show still

Emily and Keriann should have been put through instead, thankfully Emily is back now

To be fair there is something about Stephanie's voice I really liked when she was in the luminites but when she tried going solo it just didn't work for her

Cheryl usually makes bad decisions though on her live shows

Ellie & James
Carolynne

Laura being sent out was not a travesty, the public voted stupid that week. Ruth totally out sung her in the sing off and deserved to stay.

However everyone who got sent home over Chico was a travesty

Worst robbery's of each series (I watched):

Series 2 - Maria Lawson going home, especially when she did.
Series 3 - Nikitta going over Ray.
Series 4 - Uhm...
Series 5 - Diana going over Eoghan and JLS. Final 3 should have been Alex, Diana and Ruth.
Series 6 - Lucie going over Jedward, this was the moment I lost any respect in Simon's credibility.
Series 7 - TreyC going over Katie after Katie had just given up in the sing-off.
Series 8 - Janet being voted out based on her mistake in the live show and not on the actual sing-off.
Series 9 - Ella going as early as she did.
Series 10 - Melanie McCabe not making the live shows.
Series 11 - Lauren being eliminated in a stupid sing-off, the semi-final should be down to public votes alone.
Series 12 - 4th Impact and Lauren going home before Che and Reggie n Bollie.

Katie waisell not winning

Katie Waissel > Gamu, Cheryl made the right choice there.

In terms of the votes being a joke I'd say that Carolynne Poole being 13th out of 13 in week 1 was a joke when Jahmene, Rylan, and the two boybands were in the competition.

Katie Waissel being there fullstop was a joke, let alone when she started beating people like Aiden and Treyc.

And Jedward beating Lucie Jones when Simon had bashed them all series was also a joke, even though I actually liked Jedward.

Well I'd argue that Aiden and Paije had the best vocals that series.
