Exactly, which is why I find the fuss about Jedward hilarious because they were marketable and I always thought the producers knew they would make them a lot of money, plus IMO it was always the plan for them to dump Jedward at the half point in the show to save face with the public.

The public gets a decent winner in their eyes but since then 3 other acts who didn't win from the same year have done better overall with their careers.
