I think that Simon hopes for a One Direction final with 2 of the girls,I don't think he's bothered which girls,he has seen Cher and Katie(the usual resident there 4 out of 7 weeks) in the bottom 2 and he likely feels with his group and 2 of the girls in the final the female vote won't be split that much and more votes will go to One Direction.

It is clear to a great many people, not all though, that he has voted to send better acts out than Katie and that he is being way over generous to her.
Never, even with his own acts have I ever in any series known Simon not to slate someone in the bottom 2 repeatedly and its unheard of for him to give 3 second chances to anyone let alone 4 second chances as he did when she was there again with Aiden.

So Paije is likely just telling it like it really is.
