paige was given the worst slot racism and they tried to get rid of him it didn't work the zombies need to turn this off for goodness sake, i am surprised at the vast majority of morons who think it is based on real talent .... if there is any justice wagner will win

Racism---no. They just tried to pick on who they thought was in the weakest position after Wagner and got it wrong.

hotchick2, do you have any idea what genuine racism is? You clearly are young and very naive, and have a lot to learn. Racism is a serious and deeply unpleasant thing. Your childish post is trivialising it.

Clearly the show must be racist - how else did Leona and Alexandra win. The success of black people in this show is actually disproportionately greater than their share of the population of the UK.

We'll get rid of Paige next week.

And then we'll have the snowy white finalists that we all really want.

Or something like that!

When in doubt, throw several in-conceived arguments together in one post and hope one of them sticks.

There are different levels of racism to be fair - it's not all burning crosses and lynch mobs.

Don't agree with the racism part but dumbing down of society is true. Hilarious that still even when it is clear as day, as if on purpose how much the show is fixed/manipulated, is that people still buy into it. By voting and by watching week in and week out they are aiding the Cowell manipulation and lining his pockets.

Well I think you have a point. I thought Paije did extremely well to avoid the bottom two. And over on the BBC, the only black contested was voted off Strictly Come Dancing. A programme which has never had a black professional dancer though does have a mixed-race judge.

It's appalling. One pence for a carrier bag and now this. This country is falling apart.

You forgot to mention mixed-race Rebecca closed the show and a boyband containing an Asian performed second last, with a Brazillian being on 3rd last.

Favoritism - maybe
Nepotism - perhaps
Racism how ?

They asked Cheryl to vote but she refused I don't think that was pre-planned
And the only colour Simon is interested is the colour of money

The public steer the vote so it can be about talent, entertainment or maybe one of the acts singing a favourite song which prompts them to vote that way

Or as the result of lots of fans not voting and an orchestrated campaign for a particular act

Paije is doing fine but I fear he may have a fickle fanbase so could be in trouble for that reason.
Instead of looking for racism why not start a positive campaign to help him ?

Is it just me or id this racism card wearing thin now? Aiden went tonight so is that because people were racist against him for being British? All the ethnic minorities(?) in the country voted against poor Aiden. Sorry for the rant but I get fed up of the racist card being bandied about in a country where the only people who suffer from racism are the British public. Rant over, this is about x factor after all and not political relations lol
