proof Paije shouldn't have gone.

Am surprised how badly Wagner did every week.

Can't believe there were only 15 million votes all series

2008 series got 16,469,064 votes in total. Total figure for 2009 doesn't seem to be listed anywhere but the final racked up 10 million votes.

Thought you'd like to know. Seen as everyone's got X Factor stat-crazy at the moment.

[Vicky.]

According to the public then...katie would have gone first week

[Novo]

15 Million votes is ****e, thought it would have been something like that for the final alone

[Adamw92]

Confused as to why Cher has 6.65% of the 2nd vote freeze when she wasn't even in the competition then

[IheartBB]

Gah, all this fuss about Wagner and he was never even close to topping a weekly show, let alone winning the whole thing! Same with Jedward last year.

Jedward only had up to 15% of the vote, they also never came bottom of the voting even on the sing off they went against Olly, where they were second bottom.

The point remains. People got their panties in such a twist this year and last about these acts potentially winning the whole show and they never got close.

I see it as a business. Matt will be the best thing since sliced bread until the next batch come along...

[Mr XcX]

Wagner struggled each week lol

[Callum]

15 million votes for one entire series is really poor considering how many people watched the shows

Surprised at Mary Byrne doing so well in the first few weeks

[Alexandrose]

As much as I hate them, I'm surprised that One Direction didn't even make the top 2 in at least one week.

[StGeorge]

So the highly controversial wk5 cheryl missed vote shows how much of a fix this show is.

Treyc should sue the show organisers who cheated her out of the opportunity to advance legitimately and be on the tour.

I agree it's harsh on TreyC but even being kept for an extra week, she might have gone the following week had she stayed and was never going to win..

Ironic coming from me as a Cher fan and my favourite got saved by the judges 2 times but she was marmite anyway and never going to win.. these won't make a bit of a difference now the acts are moving on to the next stage of their careers!

Yes, but i believe that was the cutoff for those going on the tour, so she has been denied the chance for further promotion and earning rights.

Im not too bothered about other weeks, as the judges vote system is something we are used to....butthat particular was manipulated as cheryl wanted to take it to deadlock and said quite clearly so....she was denied that and hence Treyc was denied further earning potential which she should employ a lawyer to look into.

[GiRTh]

So Cher was bottom the week they had the last minute sing off? Thieving fix of a show.

EDIT:No need to comment on the fact that TreyC wasnt bottom week5. I think we all sussed that

[Z]

I'm bored and have nothing better to do so I went through everything on Excel

CHER LLOYD 11.57%


Pretty bad going from the judges but no real surprises!

[bbfan1991]

^ Producers obviously want to keep controversial people in for business sense, more PR etc.

[Jack_]

Diva Fever got more votes than Belle Amie that week? **** the Judges

[joeysteele]

It just totally discredits the voting/judging system used on X Factor and it needs to be updated and changed in the future.

[bbfan1991]

I think we're all hypocritical though because if our favourite finished bottom or got lowest votes the week someone else went we would be relieved and happy they are still in, whilst the other person might be another favourite or you don't like them so it doesn't matter to you but it does to their fans.

[Mystic Mock]

if they had stuck wagner on early and moved katie to 3rd on the week aiden went,i have a feeling aiden wouldnt have been in the bottom two.

im glad paije kicked chers anarexic ass,and he nearly toppled wagner.

[*mazedsalv**]

Loved how Matt won all weeks bar one.
Loved how 1D never was in the Top 2 despite the huge praise and screaming on fans.
Loved how Wagner was no where near as popular as we though

Didn't love the fact that TreyC went when she got more votes than Katie, same with Paije against Cher, and Katie during all those times, she would have been out in Week 1 if it went to deadlock, FYD would have stayed.

How about the fact the John got more votes than Treyc in week 3 but was eliminated? Of course you don't mention that This works both ways.
