IF louis had voted katie...
 

Right, so cheryls vote was disallowed. Yeah, she said she would have took it to deadlock anyway, so thats fair enough(although pathetic of her).

BUT, if louis had voted for katie to go home, does anyone else think they would have then let cheryl vote...so that it went to deadlock instead of kicking katie out?

Of course they would but i guess Katie had the lowest votes tonight and they thought "lets just totally screw Treyc over"

I bet they bloody would!

Nah I dont think so, Dermot seemed pretty set on Louis' vote being the deciding one before he said it.

This. The fix is so obvious its embarrassing. I hope there's a big back lash this week and Katies out next week.

i think they would so they can keep katie.

Katie has to go next week and until she does its a fix.

Seeing as though Dermot said it will go on a "majority vote" straight after Cheryl refused, obviously not. No conspiracies here.

She better be :mad: I hated Louis before but him "going by his heart" is ridiculous, 3 times in the bottom 2, this applied to the reason Rachel went home last year! :mad:

Exactly.

LOL

Simons reason was more laughable than louis tbf :laugh2:

That's true, why is it always this week (Week 5) in the bottom vote in the series that he sends home the better singer (except maybe between Ruth and Laura coz Ruth was better :))

This. Really don't know what the problem is. He clearly stated the rules. Essentially Cheryl lost her role as a Judge, and thus the other three were the only ones entitled to vote. Konnie has since confirmed this on the Xtra Factor.

Would it have been the same if Louis had voted Katie out- I wonder

guess we'll never know because this will all be swept under the carpet by this time next week :rolleyes:

I was surprised but delighted when Katie was saved.

Main reason being that I thought Treyc did well in the sing off and I thought Katie lost it in the middle. Katie isn't playing the drama queen she is a bag of nerves and pretty broken by her bottom two placings.

I though Katie's performance, singing aside, was incredible. And I would rather listen to the Katie than Treyc anyway, Katie is much smoother - I thought Treyc had toned it down and was smoother than usual in the sing off though.

agree Simon is becoming the least credible judge - whatever happened to Simon Cowell

Of course they would have let Ms Cole vote in those circumstances, and more to the point the selfish Madam would have insisted on her vote to then be included to force deadlock.
She got the result she wanted though and passed the buck,cowardly,on to Louis to decide the outcome.

Again, even in a sing off, Katie forgot the words of a song, the sing off is supposed to wipe the slate clean and you are judged on that,she failed even there but still goes through.

There is no justification for Ms Coles actions and if Louis had 2 acts in the bottom 2, she would be laughing her head off at it and expect him to make a decision.she's not normally stuck for words and while it was good to see her shut up last night,if she isn't going to do the judging part of the job right then she shouldn't be allowed to be a judge at all.

It is all about protection of Katie but her attitude last night shows she is not the vulnerable person we are being made to believe she is.

Simon allowed X Factor to be really discredited last night and also gave a massive rebuff to the best singer in the sing off and to all the people who had spent money trying to keep her in too.

No because I think they all knew already that Katie had the lowest votes so deadlock would be pointless which is why they went to Cheryl second so they could avoid deadlock.

I 100% agree with this, I am not one for conspiracy theories normally but this explanation from you is the only logical reason for last nights events.
Completely unfair and set up, no matter what they say now.

of course they'll say absolutely nothing about it though, I was dying for the judges phone calls bit on Xtra Factor so someone could give out about it but of course not one caller did...........funny that:rolleyes:

Like me,I guess, maybe you are of the view they wouldn't put any calls as to that on the board in the first place. Very suspicious and a very unsavoury smell to last nights events overall.

of course! I mean I'd bet my life they were flooded with callers giving out about it.

if ever there were to be evidence of a fix, that HAS to be it!! As if nobody would ring about that??? what planet do they think we live on? planet Uranus or something???

This, you're all running away with yourselves. He said it was going to be a majority vote before Dannii voted. There's no conspiracies here.
