These people don't seem to realise the obvious though.

Somon WANTS this kind of thing to happen. More votes = More money.

Yes, I totally agree, it is madness for Wagner still to be in the competition and John out and TreyC also in the bottom two! Quite, quite ridiculous! I would love to know who is wasting their money on this idiot!

As much as I loathe Wagner I would laugh if he won - just to see the look on Cowell's face.

I found this as well.....They apparantly get free calls to the x factor voting lines...


American Website votefortheworst.com are supporting Wagner on X Factor!

Are you wondering how the Hell Wagner is still on the X Factor after knocking off yet again another legitimate contestant? Well, the answer may be the very well-known (and somewhat infamous) American website votefortheworst.com, the people who brought you Sanjaya Malakar.
They’re a satirical website and Forum that makes fun of American Idol and other similar shows (such as The X Factor), and in the process annoy the judges and fans who take this show way too seriously.

VFTW is supporting and voting for Wagner and mobilizing all their UK Worsters to give The X Factor the winner they truly deserve!

So come by and visit the site if you’d like but more importantly, spread the word about votefortheworst.com’s efforts throughout The UK any way you can and next Saturday night right after the show, check our site for Wagner’s number get ready to vote 24 hours straight for Wagner! The longer Wagner stays on the show and the more contestants he knocks off, the more and more upset the annoying fans and judges will get (trust us, we know!). I’m confident you can help as one thing I know for sure, nothing is more VFTW than The UK!

At the moment, I think Cowell is pretty much putting on a pantomine act when Wagner gets through. Wagner's name is called as safe, cue camera to look at Simon's shocked expression for the night.

I am sure though that he doesn't want Wagner to get near the final or heaven forbid win the thing

I don't loathe him, but agree about seeing Cowell's face.

The RATM campaign was such a success last year that maybe the public see a way to react against SC's manipulation by derailing the show's remaining credibility. It's arguable that it effectively killed off Joe's career before it even started. It may even be that this years xmas number one is not the fiXFactor finallist again. Some say that the RATM campaign was a one off, but I personally think it could have just been the start of people power. People have seen what they can do against the mighty SC machine, and are hungry for more Simon bashing IMHO.

Don't get me wrong - I liked John. However, he didn't really deliver in the live shows and wasn't marmite like Chair and Weasel. But if Wagner gets to the final and it's a choice of voting for the better singer or punching Cowell in his smug face, it's the latter that would win in our household. I don't believe that Simon is just interested in phone revenue. Of course that's a factor, but despite all the machinations and scandals the show has to shake out a credible and just winner at the end. Having the joke candidate win the thing would be a disaster for Cowell.

I think by voting for Wagner, voters see it as a way of sticking up 2 fingers to Simon and the X Factor.

But yes, you're right, at the end of the day Simon still gets voters parting with their cash... he doesn't care by what ever means (or which contestant) he gets it through...

Hi Everyone.
I am sure Wagner is a lovely man and I am sure he could entertain. But he is not a singer. Who keeps voting him in?
There are good singers being axed because of this

People are voting for him. I was gutted John went, but people didn't vote for him. TreyC is the same ol' XF crap. Cannon fodder. Wagner, meh. I don't like him as much as John & Edward but I get the fact sometimes people like to have a bit of a laugh at XF as well as sitting through contrived sob stories and over-blown-but-meant-to-be-taken-seriously performances. Sometimes you want a lemon to look like a lemon Wagner epitomises the XF, it baffles me how people take it so seriously.

In short, get over it Put up or shut up. If you want to save the others, fight fire with fire. Yes, it means more money for Cowell but if you believe he's in it for the right reasons *cough* then it's all you can do.

If Wagner quit the show on Friday...John would still have been in the bottom two and would still have gone.

All Wagner staying does is delay the inevitable result by 1 week.

NO..there are not. They would still have gone with or with or without Wagner being there.

At worst Wagner being there made it so John was 12th instead of 11th.

No, I disagree. If Wagner won, X Factor would lose all credibility and I can't imagine any of the judges signing up for another series.
It is a disgrace Wagner is still in and as much as I would love to see Simon's face if he won the thing, I love X Factor and that would be the kiss of death.
It would also be grossly unjust for the other - genuinely talented - contestants.

Simon Cowell just signed a three year deal with ITV

Also if they didnt do it because Wagner won then wouldnt that be fair considering he is just as equal to every other person in the comp

I'd like to see how Louis could explain quitting the show because an act he chose to put into the final 16 won it. Ahem. Go Wagner!

I started a thread about this a few days ago and asked if it was likely, and the popular opinion was that it wouldnt' happen!

If anyone thinks that Simon would really care if Wagner won, I reckon they're sadly mistaken

He'll be looking at how much money Jedward have raked in without doing anything particularly credible or original, and rubbing his hands together at the thought of all the novelty songs he can release with Wagner.

It's just sad that as the competition continues, Wagner - the joke act this year (which was funny for about one show), may outstay genuinely excellent singers with a chance at winning and going on to great things. People who have had dreams of this all their life, and Wagner just stands on stage and takes the pee and gets votes.

Funny about 3 weeks ago, got old quite quickly.
