He insists though if they were misled it was unintentional (at his press conference today).

About whether there would be a sing off or not.He admitted that they may have been misled on this and apologised for it,but insisted it wasn't intentional.
there's more to it than that. i don't trust a single word that comes out of his mouth anymore. Every word sounds insincere.
there's not an actual link but the articles relating to today's conference have youtube clips at the end
Not letting Louis or Dermot know and still not having it in the X-Factor script is a balls up.
He's been rumbled.
I'm glad he's apologised but it's not been without a lot of wriggling and protest.
shouldn't he bring Mary back, if it was intentional.
Of course it was intentional.Dermot was deliberately vague and ambigious on Saturday and using weird legalistic phrases.They were clearly keeping their options open in case Cher needed to be saved.
Good point : if he acknowledges viewers "may have been misled",does that not put last weekend's result entirely in doubt?
Yeah it's a bit weird because i remember watching all of last years on here unless they upload it in full later on?
He may have made a big mistake there.Ignorance is no defence in law.If somebody actually sued $yco for Innocent misrepresentation I think he would loose now.If the red tops sponsored someone to take $yco to court, who voted for Mary I think they would win.A precident would be set then for other claiments.
Not sure this will happen - but there is an opportunity there.Not sure what OFCOM could do though apart from rap his knuckles a bit.
Hmmm... if it does couldnt he put Mary back in?
exactly,
Ofcom comes out and says that there was no foul play.
Simon comes out and says sorry guys we did mislead you but we didn't mean to hurt you so it's okay.
I don't believe for a second that it was "unintentional". This sums up my opinion:
Cowell has come very close to admitting that Mary was illegally eliminated from the show today,without realising he has done so.
Yes, this - I might be wrong, but didn't he also say something about wanting to make sure it was 'completely transparent'? To me, that's a huge red flag. In the past, he's never made as big a deal out of it when judges say that they're keeping someone, as opposed to sending someone home.
