IK but I disagree with the judges putting one handpicked contestant in the final...no matter who it is. This years fixing has been so blatant.

Yeah, in a way the public are getting a say by being able to pick the bottom two...however, at this stage its ridiculous for the judges still to be able to overrule the public. I would imagine more people vote in the semi final than in the earlier shows...and it just makes it all kinda pointless.

Mary could have got say 1m votes.
Cher got 500k.
Rebecca Matt and OD 1.01m each.

IK this is very unlikely but its an example...why should cher go through on her 500k votes just because the judges lick her ass? When Mary was so close to the other finalists?
