What is rediculous,is that in a programme like this which has since 2004 when it began, had the same set format of eliminations and transference to the public vote only in all series,now has so many questions as to what it will be doing next in this series.

There is the whole show on a Saturday followed by the Xtra Factor for an hour on ITV2, then the results show on the Sunday,again followed by an hour long Xtra Factor on ITV2, and never have the viewers been so badly informed or not informed at all as to what will happen the next week.

I wonder why?

We have always been informed as to whether it's going to be a Double Elimination or just a single, Dermot announces it as soon as the lines open at the end of Saturday's show every single week. It has never, ever been unclear as to whether it's one or two people leaving.
