I don't even think I'm annoyed about the outcome of the sing off, just the fact it was there in the first place. The final should be consisting of the top three (or four in the case of this year) contestants by virtue of how many votes they received. Adding a sing off in the semi final means that the least popular contestant can still go through, even if it turns out that Cher was more popular than Mary this weekend, it's still unfair to give Mary false hope like that/put Cher through that worry and vice versa. Not very happy with the X Factor but I'm still going to watch the final and I'm still not going to have a favourite, I just think this series has been a bit of a farce all round - bad presenting (mostly from Konnie Huq but Dermot's been pretty bad too), bad judging (Dannii Minogue's the only one whose opinions I'd say are valid criticisms more than half the time - the other three either snipe at each other or don't actually give any kind of criticism of the performance) and awful last minute changes. It's been controversial for the wrong reasons this year, I hope next year's show is a bit better.
