where you just don't care when Katie finally goes home

She's on the tour, so job done for her, Cowell and the execs

For me it's just going to feel a bit hollow when there have been ample chances to send her packing, but they have found excuse after excuse to keep her in just get her on the tour and bent the rules more than once

Please don't get me wrong, this is not another Katie dislike thread but just can't help feeling cheated that are plenty more acts who deserve the tour more than her, as she has had more than her fair share of fame already with her reality show and her attempt to crack America under different names

Nah, I'm looking forward to seeing her on the tour. Aidan was a good singer but I don't think I'd enjoy him very much live.

In some way I rather like the idea that she is now so tied to the show, can't make any deals etc outside of it, for so many months. She's got to go on tour, knowing many people won't be best pleased to see her there. She can't reinvent herself and try another show/music career/casting couch for many many months. She'll have to drag her parents along to keep those nasty banana skins away. In so doing she'll cement whatever dislike and antipathy there is toward her.

Going to fun. Sure is.

I'm getting to the stage where I want to campaign for a complete boycott of the whole bloody show. It's just pathetic. I feel like a knob even commenting on it, like the Cowell machine has pentrated my brain somehow.

I feel the same ... I've promised myself not to bother next year.

The best possible protest would be in a low viewing figures and if the media were to refuse any more on what's become a joke of an entertainment programme. Not sure if that will happen though

I agree OP, it's too late now - she and they got what they wanted.

It's the tabloids which keep the show in publicity.

Perhaps if someone was brave enough to put their head above the paraphet and say "this show looks tired and manipulated" Cowell might sit up and listen.

I say might however as he seems to have lost all contact with the real world and public opinion of late and even "The Sun" turning against him probably wouldn't bother him.

She couldn't even remember her words in half her auditions. She got through anyway. Then she is in the bottom 2 the MAJORITY of weeks, which leads me to think she has been the bottom act on more than one occasion (definitely last week!), and they save her every week. It is actually beyond a joke now.

Yeah I agree with this. I have been drawn in this year because of Matt who i think is extraordinary but I am annoyed at myself because I thought I saw through it and now I realise I was kidding myself.

I will keep voting this year in the hope that he wins or at least gets far enough to get a recording contract but after that I am done with it.

I don't watch Big Brother or ICGMOOH or any of the other lowest common denominator TV - I think deep down I thought this was a talent show and clearly it isn't.

It's not so much because Aiden and TreyC have gone (neither were going to win it), its just that the last 2 weeks have proved to me that Cowell can control the show and the editing, the staging, the running order etc to such an extent that he always gets what he wants

Ultimately I am sure it will be a 1D and Rebecca final. Once Matt's out I won't watch again - but I'll keep voting till he is

It;s only this year that I've stopped being entertained by it and started feeling so grrrr with it. It used to be a singing contest with the odd 'interesting' character along the way but when it came down to it, the right person always went or stayed. You could trust in the show and although, the more suspsious amongst us, could have debated it being fixed - there was no real need to because the judges were mostly fair and inline with public opinion. Now however, Simon has some alterior motive and some of the desicions that have been made, starting from the judges house stage have been seriously dubious. We are losing faith in it and in Cowell. They say that in business that you can't be liked and respected - well he's lost both of those things. Cowell considers himself to be above the show and above public opinion but I beleive that will be his fall from grace.

Really, then why aren't you complaining about Wagner going on the tour? Does he deserve to still be there?

If the public are going to vote for silly acts, then why shouldn't Simon keep the act he prefers in spite of the viewers

There's a campaign to keep Wagner in, he's made it to the tour, he could even win, but it's the voters who are doing this not Simon.

When we get back to voting for talent, taking the show seriously, them maybe Simon will give the viewers more respect...............voters can no longer be trusted to vote fairly, therein lies the problem

Because he has always said before that they are choosing an artist for the public and they're looking for someone who will sell records. It was never about Judges personal taste before. Otherwise why don't they just phone their votes through like everyone else.

There's a campaign to keep Wagner in, he's made it to the tour, he could even win, but it's the voters who are doing this not Simon.

I think keeping Wagner in is the reaction to Gamugate but as more and more people detect "fakeness and manipulation" the Wagner campaign gains votes.

I think it's the other way round. I think the public stopped taking the show seriously when Gamu wasn't picked as two of the other contestants fluffed lines etc and still got through. The public noticed unfairness before Simon did.
