Simon Cowell owns the X Factor. Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne are his employees. Do you really think Louis and Sharon can be cheeky to Simon and get away with it? It's all staged, the eliminations are staged, the real winner is never the person who comes first place, it's the person who comes 2nd, or 3rd, because they don't have to do exactly as Simon says when they win the recording contract, they can get a deal they want from a record label who want to make money but want the star more. Notice how Steve Brookstein and Shayne Ward both went down the path of pathetic ballads that nobody really likes apart from girls who quite like the idea of romance. And Brookstein is a nobody these days. Shayne is rapidly following him, I know he released more than That's My Goal, but I can't even remember how the song that he next released goes. I haven't heard him on the radio in a very long time. So you see, I actually am starting to hope that the MacDonald Brothers win it, or go out now, because if they do, they'll fade into obscurity very quickly.

Shayne's second single went to number 2,he's had to have an operation to remove nodules from his vocal chords which meant he couldn't sing for a while but he's on tour with Will Young in South Africa now.He'll be back with a 2nd album soon,hopefully he wont be all ballads for his sake.

I was totally shocked when Nikitta went. I believe that we generally have a good bunch this year, they've all been really good and I was shocked when a few other members left too.

But not everyone can win, if they all want it that badly they have their futures ahead of them.

I'm still extremely shocked that Nikitta went over Ray though!
