What a load of bollocks
 

Judges vote in the semi final...so basically, the judges get to pick the finalists? What a joke.

I'm guessing cher must have been bottom in the voting...instead of mary who was expected...

It should definately go to deadlock, but we all know it wont

I cant see it being deadlock...not with cher in the bottom.

If it does and cher was not actually bottom of the voting after all...then I will stop thinking this show is fixed. But its all so convenient :/

Yeah this is why actually.

Yep, welcome to the joke that is the XFactor.

So much for the public being in charge Simon eh.... so much for putting the competiton back into the public's hands.

Her fans were so few that Cher is in the bottom two.....

This. it's the only thing that will convince me too.

it will go deadlock i feel. Very much doubt Dannii will vote cher and of course louis will vote mary.

The show was always meant to be an hour though so it would have gone to a final showdown regardless?

cher was bottom of the votes and simon wants her in the final.

Its a fix now for sure

This lol..

and simon got dannii to save cher i see.

They even changed it from who you want to send home to who they want to save just so Cher wouldn't get sent home by any of them :laugh2: pathetic.

This show is such a ****ing fix it's unreal, Simon, Dannii and Cheryl need to go asap.

Imagine the scenario if Matt, Rebecca or One Direction ended up in the bottom 3 and had a chance to save themselves and you were a fan of them.. of course you would be in favour of this:p.

Simon's show. Simon's payroll. Simon's rules.

It's not altogether a surprise.

It's Simon's twist on 'giving the competion back to the public'.....

fiX-Factor.

Actually no I wouldnt.

I'm a Matt fan, and even if he had been in the bottom I would still think it was **** that yet again they have took the power away from the public.

The public have not had a say at all this year.

it would not surprise me at this point if they decided to have a singoff in the final.

They kinda said it would be a 'final sing off' before they did it. And there was time to do it, so I don't think they were just doing it because Cher was in the bottom two. She really isn't going to win, if I have to put up with OneDirection for one more week then you have to put up with Cher for one more! Lol :D

Controversy, Ratings and Cash!!! All these 4 acts are marketable and all the producers care about is making lots of money from them as possible...

Yep, pretty much this. Quite clear to anyone that Dannii aint too keen on Cher and did seem pretty keen on Mary so her vote does seem dodgy.

Although gotto admit, Cher did perform well in the sing off, and i actually preferred her performance. Did Danni perhaps have a change of heart after the sing off? Possibly, although i admit unlikely.

Cher sounds so kareoke nowadays.

They never said it was all down to the public vote, everyone just presumed :shrug:

So stupid, public was supposed to be in control now, just shows how much we aren't. Should have gone straight to the public vote. I still think Mary would have gone but it shouldn't be the judges decision now.

Simon kept Katie in all that time and now it's Cher, and he had the cheek to say people were trying to derail the show by keeping Wagner in

I didn't even vote yet I do feel a little cheated, its supposed to be down to the public to select who we want in the final, not the judges, I did want Mary to go based on last night but there's no way she should have went based on that sing-off
