Yeah, I think more younger females (tweens/early teens) are into One Direction and more females in their late teens/early twenties are into Aiden. Aiden may have a wider fan base in terms of age, but I think it's then cut in half because people either love him or hate him. When you think about it rationally, it makes sense that Aiden could rival One Direction, but I just don't think he is.

I think with Cher though, she's one of the favourites so it's fine for them to praise her, everyone just goes along with it. It's with the ones which are in more precarious positions, and not portrayed as favourites, that I think the judges comments have more influence.

I think this X Factor series is hard to call so maybe you are right to be paranoid a little but I do think Aiden has a fairly strong fan base now and single males on X Factor do seem to in the end get lots of votes that keep them safe.
I hope he is anyway, there are many more who warrant going out now before Aiden.
If he and Katie were in the bottom 2, I cannot see the judges sending him home over her.Let's hope not anyway but I can't see him being in the bottom 2 this week anyway.
