I agree with Vicky here, and we will only know the motives behind the change at the end of the series because:

if it turns out Treyc had the least vote, then all conspiracy theories dont really work,

if it turns out Katie had the least vote, then quite rightly the fix looks like a ploy to prevent going to deadlock and so save Katie, and also save Cheryl voting off Treyc which she would of been slaughtered for like after her judges house fiasco. This scenario would be hard to prove but insinuates that the judges are pre-warned of a deadlock outcome so as to leave the act the producers/show/Scowell want.

IMO all this has left a bad taste in the mouth and as someone has said in another thread, Big Brother tampered with the format and crashed and burned....X-factor should be careful as it's lost all credibility this series.
