Rachel Hylton to go as Laura White sings again?

X Factor fans have been up in arms this week after Laura White was cruelly ousted last Saturday.

It is thought that show producers could decide to let another act go tomorrow and then let Laura re-enter the competition next week.

The unlucky act that ends their X Factor journey tomorrow won't be happy if Laura takes his or her place.

Rachel Hylton and Daniel Evans are favourites to be in the dreaded sing off.

Dozens of customers have requested odds from Sky Bet on ousted Laura making a return to the show so the bookie is quoting 14/1 for the Bolton lass to make X Factor history and be reinstated.

Helen Jacob, Sky Bet's Head of PR, said: "Laura's early exit does seem unfair and fans clearly want her reinstated but we're not so sure that Simon Cowell will be as keen!"

Whether or not Laura rejoins X Factor, numerous record labels are expressing an interest to sign her up and Sky Bet quote 12/1 for her to have a UK number one single by the end of next year.

Following last week's shock vote, all eyes are on who will leave the X-Factor house this weekend. Sky Bet has yet again installed Daniel Evans as the odds-on favourite to be voted off the show this Saturday at 8/11, with Dannii's other two acts close behind. Rachel Hylton is 5/2 and sing-off veteran Ruth is 9/2 to be eliminated.

Despite Dannii being the only judge in the competition with all three of her acts left, Minogue is Sky Bet's outsider at 11/1 to produce a winning act this series, with Cheryl Cole as favourite at 4/11. Cheryl's young star, Diana Vickers, despite suffering from laryngitis, is even money favourite to win the show.

This is bollocks. The producers should just deal with all the complaints, because they're hardly valid seeing as its a show where the public have a lot of control, and if it doesn't go certain peoples way they shouldn't go mental. I was really upset and angry when Austin went, as were a lot of other people, but because it's down to the public vote it would have been ridiculous to blame the show itself. Fair enough the judges chose Ruth over Laura but that's the public's fault for not voting for either of them enough. As a lot of people have already said, it's blatantly obvious that a lot of people complaining didn't even vote, because if they had been as set on keeping her in as they are on getting her back, she probably would have stayed.
It's stupid to change the format just because people aren't happy with the way it went.

HOW THE HELL IS IT UNFAIR LAURA WENT??

People didn't vote for her. It's their tough luck. They shouldn't be so tight in the pocket with money or so complacent. They should have picked up the phone and cast a vote to save her.

What IS unfair is if Laura is let back into X factor.

If Laura IS reinstated then i'll actually make a formal complaint for the first time ever. If Laura is allowed to come back then why not Austin? However I think the chances of Laura coming back is slim to none.

Don't worry it's just a magazine trying to get people to read the stuff it prints.

Here is a statement from the ITV and the producers of the X Factor, that shows how much magazines like this live on rumour and sensationalism.

Quote:

“We would never reveal the voting figures during the competition, as it could give contestants an unfair advantage and spoil the competition for viewers.

At the end of the series, we are more than happy to reveal the voting pattern to the public which will very clearly demonstrate who the viewers have been voting for each week.

We would like to reiterate that there were absolutely no issues with the phone lines or the voting system during last week’s The X Factor, they are subject to rigorous procedures and protocols.

The viewers vote for the act they want to keep in the competition and last Saturday the simple fact is Laura White and Ruth Lorenzo were in the bottom two because they had the least amount of votes.

There are no plans to bring Laura White back to The X Factor.”

I Agree, and whats even worse is that people blame Diana for her going, but Laura would still go even if Diana had to leave the competition

The thing is that I have seen a number of articles (daily mirror, etc.) which suggest that rachel should go instead! But she wasn't in the bottom 2!! Ok maybe she should have been, but that's not the point. Laura does have talent, no question about that. But her support last week, as with ruth I'm sorry to say, was not strong enough to keep her safe.................
