“"John and Edward have their most ambitious performance of the series tonight and have needed lots of rehearsal time to get it right but it has gone down like a lead balloon with some of their competitors, who feel the boys are getting special treatment," says someone in the know, perhaps one of the ghosts they'll be eliminating. "Some of the acts think it gives them an unfair advantage in the race to win the X Factor recording contract and have been bitching and moaning about it. In fairness, it isn't Jedward's fault. It is their most elaborate routine to date and they need to practise but the others are getting pretty fed-up."
And it's not only the routine itself that's rubbed some of the others up the wrong way - there are scheduling issues too. "Simon Cowell isn't an idiot," the ghost goes on. Really? Do explain why. "He realises that many viewers will be tuning in specifically to see them. He wants to keep them watching right until the very end. But this has upset some of their rivals. Everyone likes to perform towards to end of the show as it is closer to when the voting lines open and their performances are obviously fresher in the minds of the voting public."”
