I don't recall saying it was a fix, anyway all I know is and I watched Lorraine and This Morning this week and none of them knew for sure that there wasn't a sing off this week, they were even specualting how it would work with only 4 acts.

Why then did the X Factor team feel the need to say midweek that they had decided the semi final vote for the final would only be down to the public now, if that was already the case,further why didn't Dermot say as they do every year normally,last Saturday and Sunday, that it was now only down to the public for who gets to the final.

He didn't because they were keeping all options open for whatever reason.Not a fix, I never said it was,I only said what most presenters and others were saying right until midweek when X Factor themselves announced,(never been done before either for the X factor team to announce it midweek), that only the public would decide who goes to the final and that there would be no sing off.
