Someone raised a good point on DS the other day in that the third voter will have a lot of power (this is assuming the vote is 1-1 based on the judges saving their own acts as usual), as if they opt to send home the Flash Vote loser, they will be going home regardless of how the fourth judge votes. Now I'd say it's likely many of the third voters won't be brave enough to do that so if they send home the 24 hour vote loser, effectively the fourth voters vote is worth two and they take on what is essentially a 'Head Judge' role, since even if they tie the vote, that will send the Flash Vote loser home...which is just illogical, how can a tied vote end up in that vote being the deciding one? There's no sense to that.
This idea really hasn't been thought through properly.

They are also mentoring the acts for goodness sake, that means halfof the judges automatically have theri votes decided no matter what the final sing off performances are like.
It drives me mad, just have a sing off at the start of Sunday's show and open the lines again and let the public say who goes out.

I believe as part of the terms of the legal case Simon Fuller and Pop Idol brought against X Factor back in 2004 was that to distinguish the two shows the 'bottom two' format had to remain and thus the judges vote, or else the two shows could be considered identical. The terms also included the category format too, so there isn't really any way around it. |
