Jordan's solved it, The producer's probably voted 5 times (all you'd need this series) to put Union J ahead

Christopher obviously was popular. Ironically being in the bottom 2 helped with James as his stats until that week look pretty meh.

LOL at Chris

Lucy wasnt doing as well as I thought.

It was VERY good for James being in the bottom 2 I think. Though if it had been Ella who stayed I think she would have won too. It reminded their fans that they have to actually vote, not just assume others are voting...by the looks of it. Going on his percentage afterwards anyway.

[Munchkins]

James 6th in the first 3 weeks
then 6th in week 5, one off bottom
god the bottom two really did help him!

[MTVN]

[Maia]

Maloney just slayed the lot of them

[Apple202]

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Vicky.]

Im so confused. It looks like they are merged, but posts (including the OP of the other thread) are missing

[Jamie585]

It's a sign, The world is ending!!!!!!!!

[Maia]

Right

Afterall the effort they put into Jahmene yet he never topped a vote.

And I can't believe how close we came to saving Melanie over that **** boyband that even teenage girls didn't give a toss about.

He got 2nd every week bar one...
James got 6th for three weeks..
Jahmene was popular

[bbfan1991]

Jahmene was very popular, but it turns out James fans did not start voting for him properly until that controversial week? Complacency?

I liked Ella, although I am glad that James got more votes than her that week.

Everyone here seems to have missed how the judges and Cowell started pushing and championing James after his bottom 2 placing. They revved him up with such intensity that I think the public fell for the hype. Cowell tweeted that he wanted James to win, Gary said he wanted James to win and Tulisa started mooning over him big time.

Thanks for all that info Conzors, it makes really interesing reading. Really surprised Christopher was top for so many weeks.

[Doogle]

King Rylan didn't do so badly, shame he flopped on the Spice Girls week

[Mystic Mock]

I think James got lazy and when he hit the bottom two it gave him a kick up the backside to do better performances.

[Jack_]

The Baloney support is astonishing. He didn't just top the votes, he walked them. For seven weeks wtf. Honestly cannot fathom it. I just...don't get it.

Glad Union J were never bottom when they were in a sing-off, so there can't be any criticism there. They didn't do too badly when they weren't in the bottom two actually which surprises me. Pissed off Baloney was so close to going last week though and they left because of it

[Marc]

What a joke. Thank god the world of X Factor'ness sorted itself out.

[Mystic Mock]

I've got to say Jade done well in week 4 considering she was only 0.1% off a boyband that had teenage girls on there side (or should have teenage girls on there side) and it was her worst performance of the series by far.

The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is why not take it to deadlock then? afterall she sang brilliantly while Union J were flatter than a Pancake.

Chris is a bit like Eoghan Quigg - dominated pretty much the entire competition and it was only when a favourite was surprisingly in the bottom two (JLS/James) that the votes changed - meanwhile the one the show was pushing didn't really come into their own until the last couple of weeks (Alexandra/Jahmene), only difference being that James succeeded where JLS didn't. The show tried their absolute hardest to sabotage Chris Maloney, he should be very proud of himself that he soldiered on through it all.
