Default X Factor 2011 Simon Cowell tells acts they aren't good enough – as two face boot this
http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/tv/x-...5875-23536417/

Quote:
FURIOUS Simon Cowell has told this year’s UK X Factor finalists they are not good enough – and two are set to get the boot this weekend.

In an astonishing rant at the remaining contestants, he warned he was concerned about their “quality and dedication”.

He went over the heads of all four judges in a video conference call to the singers from the States – and brutally told some they had “no chance” of getting a recording deal unless they improved dramatically.

Executive producer Cowell, 52, let the acts know he was “not happy” and things had to change “with immediate effect”.

Speaking in a Skype call, he declared: “This is your one chance. You have to take control of the situation and stamp your authority on the show. A lot of you are not doing that right now. Come up with your own ideas and demonstrate you are a recording artist.”

It is the first time he has spoken directly to this year’s finalists and shows he is taking the ratings drop seriously.

And it emerged last night there is set to be a double eviction on Sunday, which insiders say will pile the pressure on the singers and make it more emotional.

A source said: “Cowell wasn’t messing around when he spoke to them and he left them in no doubt they all needed to improve. He can’t be here because he is so busy in the States but he hopes this will help the singers and the ratings.”

Last Saturday’s X Factor was beaten in the ratings by Strictly Come Dancing for the first time since 2008.

But the source added: “We really think we can turn it round this week.

“They’ve lost Nancy Dell’Olio and we’ve got the Cowell factor.”

two out this weekend but which two will go??????????

Frankie will get the least votes, and probably Kitty and Little Mix in the sing off

They were probably going to do it anyway because they're still one person up

If anything I can see more people turning off, people are getting fed up of XF this year. The judges rowing didn't increase the viewers so I doubt this will.

I thought the same too. I wish they would just let it run and leave any changes until the next series.

All this achieves is some fans will end up losing their favourites quicker than anticipated.

So how does a double elimination work ?

Is it still down to the judges saving who they want to save ?

Do the bottom 3 perform again ?

The person with the least votes is eliminated automatically and then it's the next two with the least votes in the sing off.
