This show is just a complete scam! There are act's getting sent home who have proper potential but they keep those two littole idiot's on. they are a joke. Who in there right mind would pay real money for an album they would release? I would like to see something brought into X Factor so that people can see how many votes have been givin to each act and for an independant body to be brought in to oversee this. There is no way those two are gettin voted to stay in each week. If this is how the show will continue then i'll be switching the channel and I hope other people feel the same. I feel sorry for those who do call and vote as there money spent is obviously not going to the people they want. the show is an absolute scam. Very dissapointed.

I dunno what's going on ... I think there are people voting for the twins ... but who?

I can't imagine that their teenage following have THAT much pocket money to spend on voting ...  I notice Heat magazine are doing an 'in depth interview' with them and featuring them on the front cover next week .... could there be some sort of block voting going on ???  Could there be something lucrative in it for someone if the twins continue to stay in ....

You just never know with the media these days.

I wholeheartedly agree. I have already decided I have had enough and am NOT watching it any more

It is time that the powers to be stepped in to sort this mess out. At least they got the biggest BOO!!!!!!! Louis Walsh should be thoroughly ashamed of himself allowing them to stay,I don't know how he can face the acts that have to leave

Once again it's not Louis Walsh that is keeping the twins in the show it's the BRITISH VOTERS that have kept them out of the bottom two. What is the point of having a public vote if the public can't decide who they want to stay.

OMG, OMG, OMG, it is so totally A FIX. What's going on, we should all complain to ITV, we should go down to that there London and storm the studios, we should lock the twins up so they can not perform anymore and then the orld will be back to normal

 

Of course, it has nothing to do with the huge media campaigns to have the twins win this thing that's keeping them in. IT'S A TOTAL FIX

Here Here. Totally agree. I will boycott the next series if the twts, sorry twins win this year.

It is a complete joke this year rachel did so not deserve 2 go the creepy twins hv 2 go dnt evn thnk i'l b wtch it nxt wk so annoyd.And 2 top it al off my friend phoned for miss frank last wk x3 and it said "thank u 4 votin 4 john and edward" if thts not a fix then wot is??????

I think that the problem now is that it just a little bit farcical .... the first week or two okay .. they were funny and it wasn't any great shakes that contestants were going a week earlier than they might have done if the twins weren't there. But as every week goes by you have to wonder who IS keeping them in ????

Teeny boppers with loads of pocket money to waste???  People with a wry sense of humour who want to pee Simon off ??? People who want to sabotage the show ???

No-one in their right mind would imagine that they are being voted for because they've got talent 

IF they continue to stay when the good singers start to leave I will definately wonder what's REALLY behind it and the simplistic ''british public voting for them'' thing won't hold any water with me

You aren't the first person who has reported that to be the case.

Agreed.  I stopped watching X Factor last year.  Sounds like more of the same.

How did that woman get kicked out?

I don't understand this.

She had two votes, he had one.

Cowel didn't vote... that equals 2 for her, 1 for him and one no vote.

Why wasn't he kicked out?

Because Cowel didn't vote it goes to public vote?

Why?

If a judge doesn't vote then that's zero votes for each from that judge.

It was 2 to 1 in her favour, she should have stayed.

Even with the public vote, that makes it 2 votes each... she got votes from Dannii and the wee irish guy, he got votes from that footballers wife and the public.... 2 each.

 

This makes no sense at all..

The title of the show says it all really. Who has the X factor? Imho, you do not have to be the greatest singer in the world to have he X factor, but you have to have that something! I agree that the twins are annoying, but the so called adults booing these two young lads is disgraceful! They are doing what they are told to do every week, they get slated every week, and they still come back smiling. At least they are doing it live ( which is more than can be said of Britney Spears last year). I used to sing in pubs many years ago, and it was sooo nerve wracking, I can not begin to imagine what it must be like for youngsters like the twins and Lloyd to sing live in front of millions every week! If you don't bother to vote, then shut up. If you are voting for your favourite, then so are people voting for the twins. I'm proud to say that the majority of people in the U.K. have a heart, and they will always vote for people like the twins who are being ridiculed every week. If you don't want them to win, then start to vote for who you want to win and stop whinging about these young kids!   They are there because there are people who like them! End of!

 Until full independent details of the public voting are actually published for us all to see the voting truth will never been known and the conspiracy theories will continue unabated. It is particularly telling that despite years of viewers complaints in relation to this very point  NO BBC SPOKESPERSON HAS EVER EVEN ATTEMPTED TO OFFER AN EXPLANATION WHY DETAILS OF THE ACTUAL VOTES ARE KEPT SECRET !

Because Cowel didn't vote it goes to public vote?

 

Simon did vote, he has to. He voted to take it to the public vote so therefore in doing so voted to send Rachel home.
