Rylan had the rebound vote, I think we're all underestimating Chris' popularity and Ella, James and Jahmene are never going to be bottom two (well, you'd think not).
That combined with the boybands splitting the vote/fan complacency led to tonight's result. Have to admit after last night's show and both of them putting in good performances I was questioning whether this'd still happen, but I still had a feeling earlier today that this could have been imminent. And I think that's why Dermot called a break mid-results for the first time ever, because everyone knew this was such a big result between the three left and I think it would've been less of a shock had Chris not gone through after all that excessive tension building.
Mind you I have started to question next week's result already now. If Union J get the rebound vote and Chris and Rylan end up in the bottom two, surely Rylan will be saved again? That could then send him into fourth place with Union J in fifth...imagine that
