Raign should have kept her chair.

Cheryl influenced Simon.

Cheryl, 'Raign, I don't like her" when Simon said who he should swap out.

Not liking someone is not a reason. It is surprise to be a singing competition.

    But she did what he wanted and put Chloe back in so he had to take notice

    I think her voice is brilliant.

    Surely a wildcard would be from judges houses left overs?

    I really don't get why people think she can sing she's always off key to me

    That's what I would hope/ assume. It wouldn't be fair for someone eliminated at bootcamp to makes live shows over someone who got further than them in the competition.

    Yeah I think it is so no chance of her coming back then.

    I think she has masses of potential.

    I suspect they can make up whatever rule they want.
    if they want Raign back they'll ask her back.

    I didn't rate her voice, but it might have been interesting to see Cheryl get progressively more annoyed the longer Raign stayed in the competition.

    I'm surprised the producers cut off this potentially interesting storyline so soon.....was sure they'd milk the Cheryl/Raign drama for all it was worth.

    I thought her and Janet were the two decent women in the Overs and both went.

    They showed on Xtra Factor she had to sing off with Lizzy, not sure why they didn't show it on the main show. She was awful in her sing off and that's why she went home!

    The two girls (Raign and the last one swapped out) Simon sent home should have stayed tbh.

    Raign looks like a nutter and I can't imagine anyone wanting to live in same house as her.

    I thought Raign was awful. Not one redeeming quality about her that I could see. A drony whiny voice, horrendous personality with an over-inflated ego and ridiculous sense of entitlement. She was rude and disrespectful to Louis, Cheryl and Mel by saying, at least twice that we heard, that Simon's opinion is the only one that matters! Lol wow, what a sure-fire way to endear yourself to someone, by telling those who are there to judge you in an audition/competition that their opinions are basically insignifcant! She had an attitude that reeked of: "Do you people realise how lucky you are to be in my presence? You'd be a idiot to get rid of me!" Maybe I'm wrong but that's certainly how she came across to me. A woman with delusions of grandeur.

    She just gave off an unpleasant vibe to me. There have been past "controversial" contestants on the show that had the "Marmite" effect, like Kitty Brucknell and Katie Waissel, for example. But whilst they could be very annoying/irritating, personality wise, I always thought they were harmless and probably quite sweet people underneath. I didn't get a "nasty" vibe from them like I do from Raign.

    Anyway, I know I'll certainly be much happier watching the show without having to listen to Raign wailing every week! Having said that I bet they'll bring her back as they seem to like to keep controversial characters on, even if they have little to no talent, just to keep the pantomime going!

    Nope. She's done. They only had her there to try to rehash the 3rd rate tribute act storyline. Even if she has a pleasing voice, her naturally wobbly vibrato and tone are a problem all the vocal coaching in the world cannot fix. It's okay for studio demos, and she can write, so at least she has that. I can't say I won't be glad not to have to cringe through her attempts at impersonating Florence Welch, because the harder she tries, the worse she sounds.

    I'm glad they did the right thing and put her, us, and themselves out of her misery.She seemed like an okay person under the negative editing, but she just doesn't have the charisma,voice or talent to hold a crowd's attention or sing well.

    If the wildcard is chosen by someone other than the mentor then it seems fair enough to have someone that went out at bootcamp in, they didn't pretend that all the judges agreed on all the final sixes after all.

    Yeah, Lizzy definitely outsang her in the sing off.

    That criteria seemed to have gone out of the window many moons ago.

    I don't even believe my own eyes anymore when Simon raises his eyebrows in astonishment and awe and simultaneously stops chewing gum.

    I just pity the poor sods caught up in the cattle market.

    She said this once. The other time, when Cheryl said it was a dig, she used the plural - as in, more than one. And to be fair, she's right. Cheryl or Mel can't just offer her a recording contract, and nowadays, Louis Walsh has as much influence over the music industry as a wet flannel.
