how many of you think Xfactor the show is a Fix ??? lol
i personally use to wonder especially when Rhydian was robbed to dull Leon who put everyone to sleep !! people even wrote up saying they couldn't get through to vote for Rhydian !! so it does make you wonder
and Rhydian was the clear winner that year and even had success after

And the year when Matt Cardle won i tried voting for Rebbecca Ferguson and funnily enough i couldnt get through either !!!!!
but i got over it because Rebecca got signed to a record deal and became more successful than Matt Cardle

[Firewire]

It's not a fix lmao it's 2014 get a life

[Vicky.]

Kinda..up til final night..as the judges could technically pick one person at the start and put them right through to the final. I dont think its a fix in terms of the public vote though

[LukeB]

I couldn't get through when I was voting for Rebecca Ferguson either. I assumed it was busy

Funny that ,as Matt is still touring and is about to release his 4th album,just because people don't shout it from the rooftops doesn't mean someone isn't doing well,i would wager Matt is doing far better career wise than Rebecca,but it matters not really, Matt pulled away from Sycho and is now doing his own thing which was his best move ever.It's not fixed at all,just sour grapes from losers.

maybe that's why he dissapeared then if he was with syco apparently they're a crap record company
but it did feel like he wasn't doing as well since he released his winner's single
but if he's releasing his 4th album then good luck to him even though i wasn't a fan of his

I believe the public vote but I do think the judges may be told to try and keep contestants in who give the show publicity or are being talked about on social media more.

Prime examples:

Jedward saved over Lucie Jones
Rylan saved over Carolynne Poole
Katie Waissal saved over TreyC Cohen
James Arthur saved over Ella Henderson

[Black Dagger]

Nah it's manipulated through running order and song choices to eliminate who they desire but not through voting

running order has nothing to do with anything

He's doing well ,Matt, who has sold more than 2.2 million records worldwide after winning The X Factor in 2010 , Ferguson has sold over 1 million albums worldwide. seems they are all doing ok.

Yes that's why Mel B is sick. Because she was told Fleur is going to win and she doesn't want to be there.

all fair/'correct' decisions (and i liked treyc/lucie).

[Cherie]

Its manipulated for sure, but fixed in as much as the judges having the final say takes out someone who might have had more votes, and when it goes to deadlock they know the voting percentages, but it is not vote fixed

Yes, much like Big Brother, these sorts of shows have moved on from any hint of traditional literal "fixing", they just play psych games with the sheepy general public to manipulate the vote. Just like politics, really.

[Crimson Dynamo]

totally

come on...

With the way Lauren, Jack, and Paul was treated this year, the way that every Simon act was pimped in one way or another, the fact that Stereo Kicks never got to perform on early in the running order should prove to everyone that this show is a fix.

It's entertaining to try and fight the fixing but it is still a fix.

[ruiphillips]

Leon won over Rhydian due to the female voters, simple.

[Mystic Mock]

Aiden Grimshaw being told that he was worse than Katie Waissel is another one too.

And that result is just a disgrace.

Matt is twice the singer Rebecca ever was and his stand up attitude got him respect, so in life its better to live for a couple of years on your feet than 20 on your knees. Matt all the way.
