Do you really believe that Dermot was acting unilaterally there? Consider this. The producers knew Katie was last on the public vote. They decided that they would go to Cheryl second and bump her out of the reckoning; then they have a 2 to 1 and away TreyC goes. None of this, IMHO, happens by chance.

Whoever makes his decisions my point about Cheryl remains. She didnt need to make such a big decision at that point. I cant remember ever in the past when a judge has been asked to choose between their acts as the second judge. They usually always get left until last. Especially since the deadlock thing.

Dermot even asked Simon who he would have ditched between his acts AFTER the decision had been made(when he had two acts in sing off). So he(or voices in his ear) is clearly sh!tstirring for no good reason other than drama.

But my point was that Cheryl going second was part of the script, a script that ensured TreyC went, which is "right up Cheryl's street".

well Im not one for conspiracies..

All Tv shows manipulate. Either way they got rid of the act who was least value to the show. Her sing off performance was offkey too so she didnt blast Katie out of the water when she had the chance.

You're completely correct. I even believe the judges are told after the bottom two are revealed what the public vote is. All smoke and mirrors.
