in all honesty im not that durprised if aiden got the least votes. he was dire, and for me the worst performance of the night. so although it was still a shock, i think there's a method to this madness!

It isn't rigged, Katie had more public votes than Aiden, end of.

so anyone who wants to pretend there isn't something going on.... think again!!

So yeah, they'd want to be fined Ł6m again just so that someone wins a talent contest? :s

Thank God that we did go to the public vote and we found out that Katie was not rock bottom. She got through on merit.

Let's face it had it gone to the mentor's vote this week we would have had made up headlines like Aiden got ten times more votes than Katie and other vindictive c**p about her not being able to sing.

The more ridiculous the personal attacks on Katie the stronger she will get.

I really doubt that Treyc got three times more votes than Katie last week.

People didn't vote simple as, you can't blame anyone but yourselves.

Do you not get it? There's no rule stating that an act can only be saved a certain number of times. I find it oustanding that after seven series people are still failing to grasp this point that this rule does not exist. Simon, Cheryl, Dannii and Louis can save an act as many times as they wish - that is, after all, what their vote is for. It's their opinion and their vote. Not yours, not mine, not anyone elses. Once two acts are in the Bottom Two it is not up to you, me or anyone else who goes. It's up to the Judges [and, in the eyes of some people - the producers, Syco and ITV]. It has been that way for seven years. The public's opinion is totally irrelevant unless of course it goes to Deadlock. The Judges are entitled to vote which ever way they want, for any act they want. It's got nothing to do with 'fairness' as rules which prohibit them from saving acts numerous times do not exist. If they want to save an act seven times - they can. That's what their job is - to Judge, mentor, and cast votes. Not your votes, their votes.

If you don't like them casting their votes on your favourite acts then I suggest you and the rest of your favourite's fanbase vote for them, because that's the only way they stand any guaranteed chance of surviving. Like I said, once they're in the Bottom Two - the public's opinion is irrelevant unless it goes to Deadlock. It has been that way for seven years. Get used to it.

...and that's relevant because? I've bolded the keyword in that post. 'Used'. He 'used' to. Yes - but he doesn't anymore, does he? Is he not allowed to change his ways? He's certainly got a lot nicer in recent years - so he's changed that about himself. He is allowed to change, you know. Change his opinions, beliefs and morals - just like everyone else is. He's still human.

His fans obviously didn't vote enough then, did they? Most of them probably assumed he was safe so didn't vote - so I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. In future I'd advise everyone to vote for their favourites if they don't want them in the Bottom Two.
