Does Simon know who is bottom before Dermot announces the result

As Simon runs the whole show it is basically inconcievable that he is not told who is bottom before the judges vote.
Or am I just a sad conspiracy theorist :eek:

I don't think you're a sad conspiracy theorist. Of course Simon knows who has received the least votes. It isn't anything new ... I'm sure this sort of thing has gone on for ages.
Does it matter though? At the end of the day ... the show is entertaining (for all the wrong reasons - but entertaining nonetheless). Who cares if its a fix? I don't. The real singers will get a career out of it in the long run. In this year's case ... Rebecca and probably Matt. It doesn't matter who wins.
When making his decision I am sure he knows who is bottom.
Last week he didn't want deadlock this week he ensured deadlock was the best Aiden could get & knew he was bottom.
I am sure the order the judges are gone to is certainly done with who is bottom in mind.
I am bemused as to what fascination Cowell has with Katie. The public have given a resounding thumbs down & I suspect voting numbers were down this week.
Of course he knows, this is what makes it such a farce!! :mad:
I am certainly not a conspiracy theorist, in fact, I don't think there's any hidden conspiracy here at all. Simon is told who has gotten the least votes, either during the ad break, or the final performances and makes his decision then. That is why Cheryl was asked for her decision second, instead of last, last week - because he knew Katie had the least amount of votes and would go if the decision went to deadlock.
You can always see him chatting to his best mate Cheryl during the final performances - it's not hard to see why Katie has been saved 4 times.
Simon was happy to send both Rachel Adedeji and Rachel Hylton home, for example, because they had been in the bottom two one more than one occasion and he felt they couldn't win because of that fact. Difference was, they were not Cheryl's acts.
I don't understand why anyone would want to waste their money voting any more.
Remember when all votes to TV shows were "checked and verified by an independant ajudicator"?.....now they are just checked and verified........probably by Cowell
Of course the result is slightly fixed, otherwise they would never have the sing-off and would just leave it all to the public vote.
I remember a week in the second series when Brenda Edwards was trailing considerably at the start of the results show but so many votes came in for her during the results show that she was safe by the time lines closed. All three judges' faces were a picture. The explanation for their blatant shock reactions at Brenda being safe had to be made because Brenda had performed well and got good comments that week.
It'll be really interesting if Wagner wins as a result of Cowell's manipulation
I know many people would like to upset Simon but I doubt there are millions of them out there.
Though on the other hand
I don't waste my money anymore as it happens. From last year it has been obvious that Simon manipulates the votes and I gave up putting any of my hard earned cash into his pocket. I'm all for spending some cash on some calls to support my favourite act, but I'm blowed if I am just going to line Simon all mighty's pockets.
The official line is that none of the judges know the result before they vote, but we all know about so-called official lines!!!
It was no gamble. Once he voted foir Kate he knew she was safe. Either by yhe judges or by the public vote
I agree- the fact that he took such a long pause and then looked like the cat that got the cream before announcing his decision, was the deciding factor that he knew the result IMO
He was surveying the audience as if to say "i know something u don't know"
I also look at the judges faces as they come on for the results and thought that it was not going to be another Cheryl Cole one going, she was smiling too much! Dannii on the other hand was not and I then thought this is Paije or Aiden going home. I was not wrong sadly.
Okay so Aiden got the least amount of votes, down to his fans thinking he was safe and also some of them voting for Paije as they did not like Simons comments to him having a Zero chance of winning, and I think there were other fans out there of other acts who voted for Paije it is human nature to back the underdog and the underdog was firmly chosen by Simon on Saturday night the man is not stupid, sadly we the public are by believing this is some sort of fair show, as it is far from that imo.
Stories are leaked to the press etc etc... it is all a GAME, and to be honest not a very nice one.
Simon was shocked by something, now was that how many votes Wagner got or how many Paije got... really think I would love to see Wagner win this now and I have never felt that way before, my fav has always been the one I backed, well sorry I will not be backing my fav as if I vote at all it will be for Wagner, as the show has peed me off for the final time now.
