People that are on the fence may vote Paije over Aiden/Mary, because they think he's in more danger.

It wouldn't surprise me if Simon wanted Aiden and Mary out over Paije, because he may think they have a better chance of winning, and obviously he wants 1D to win. Although this would be stupid because let's face it, there's practically no way Aiden or Mary will beat 1D anyway. Then again, he seems to like keeping more interesting acts in, and that's Aiden. Who knows?

Maybe I only noticed this because I'm paranoid about Aiden's somewhat precarious position on the show, but it seemed suspicious to me. They must know how voting works, and it seemed very manipulative to me.

I wouldn't be too sure of Aiden not beating One Direction, most of my student friends who are female, are far more for Aiden than One Direction.

We know no voting figures,until one goes in the bottom 2 there would seem no cracks in their armour as yet.

The Judges praise Cher every week and she is still voted for.
