By showing that Chris and Rylan are way out in front, they are probably hoping that their fans will stop voting.
Xfactor has got very ugly this year, and it's turning into Big Brother almost where the personality (or lack of it) is the deciding factor. To be honest it has been going this way for a few years.
we are not talking about 'this' sunday,
just future sunday nights results shows of next series (assuming there will be one)
I think it would be totally unfair to introduce something like this part way through the series. Particularly when it would definately appear as if it was done to manipulate the result which wasn't going as the producers/judges wanted...
If anything it could make the situation worse as if you see that Chris/Rylan are soo far ahead then it becomes even more obvious that voting for james/jahmene is a wasted vote so they could end up with fewer votes the following week.
I read somewhere they were thinking about doing this. Kind of skipped read it, but it was connencted to Cowell and the fact they felt that showing them would boost viewing figures and voting figures. The whole idea being that if you saw your fav was in the bottom two, you'd pick up the phone and get voting. I think it maybe a way of trying to make sure that Jahmene, James and Union J didn't end up being at the bottom. Don't think they'd be too concerned about Chris or Rylan though! But of course, if they were the same could apply to them, in it could get their fans voting more.

It depends. The idea would be if your saw your favourite at the bottom. You'd obviously vote again and the 'middling' acts would be in danger.
It's a way of SyCo encouraging you to vote more - increasing their revenue. Don't do it!
I don't know why people believe what the thread starter said anyway, with no source of any kind. If people believe this then it's no wonder they also believe "sources" or "a friend" in newspapers too.
It's probably a last ditch attempt to get Maloney out. People are going to be horrified when they realise how high he is polling.
Yes, it sounds like a stunt to stop Chris winning.
But it will also mean revealing to everyone that he is very popular with the public : it's a double edged sword that could seriously backfire on them. They probably assume it will make people vote for the other acts but it could end up boosting his own support too.
If anything it'll make viewers tune out not tune in. If its true we will know who's going to win from the first week so what would be the point in tuning in for rest of series???
IMO its made the us version very boring we already no who the final 3 will be on the us version.

There's plenty of articles doing the rounds but they're about bringing it for *NEXT* year's show

This. ^^
It’s a move that’s apparently set to be applied to the UK show for the first time in a bid to boost ratings.
However it won’t be seen in action until next year’s series, The Sun reports.

Good prediction will look forward to Sunday to see if this is so.
And this is what I read.
Said that days ago ... *smug*
Jahmene
James
Christopher
Rylan
Union J
Hope James goes. Should have gone last week, not Ella.
Guess so. What happens one the UK show happens on the US show and now vice-versa.
It's a way to tell the voters who is - and most importantly - NOT safe. Were this done last week Ella and James may have been saved by the public.

Yes yes yes
Should have started week 1 , X factor needs to be more transparent so I'm happy they reveal the vote from now on .
it? I haven't heard anything about a surprise this week, where have you seen this?
