If someone says to me there are no 2nd chances then that should mean no 2nd chances.
Since they have mucked about so much this year just to keep happy a certain mentor/judge, then its time those votes were taken away altogether from the judges now.
Ben Shephard did work on the show years ago but he was talking to Jeff Brazier who covers the X Factor for THIS MORNING and also is usually involved on Finals night.

The funny thing is Jack, but I talk to a lot of people who watch X Factor from fellow Students, to Friends and Family and also people around me where I am at the moment and the thing is they too would like to know why it hasn't gone to the public vote only yet, or why for the first time in 7 series the public have not been the sole deciders of who was in the semi-finals.

I think you may find more people would like the answers to that then you think.
Most people I talk to whether I know them or not, think there is loads fishy about the way X Factor has been done this year.

I think its time to have the format as, the acts perform,then the bottom 2 once known sing again,then their lines are then opened again for a while to allow the public to decide each week who goes.
That's what they do for the finals and then it would put an end to all suspicions and doubts as to the integrity of the show.
