The X Factor 2016 - New voting twist

In case you missed Dermot announcing it:

Quote:

On Sunday night, the three acts with the fewest votes will be put up for elimination.

There will then be a SECOND round of 'flash' voting during the live results show. This vote will last for approximately 4 minutes and will only involve the app.

Viewers will be asked to vote for their favourite of the bottom three acts to SAVE them from the sing off.

The act that tops this vote will avoid having to sing again and go straight through to next weekend.

The remaining two acts from the Bottom 3 (who may or may not actually be the two with the fewest votes from the weekend) will then sing-off.

From there, the format returns to normal with the judges deciding who goes.

If the panel's votes are tied, the decision goes to deadlock and reverts back to the public's vote.

It's the latest shake up to Sunday night's live show following another twist announced earlier in the week.

This shouldn't be too bad tbh. Deadlock remains intact and it sounds a lot better than the 2013 flash vote.

I like the sound of this, although I'm slightly concerned it means we could lose an act who actually finished 3rd bottom, 9th out of 11 etc �� But it'll also open up the pool of singers at the bottom which will be interesting to see how it effects voting.

This doesn't revoke deadlock like the awful Flash Vote did so I don't have a problem with this

Hopefully the voting window will take place over the last break before they return for the sing off, so that the results announcement isn't changed either
