I wonder if Katie has got more than she bargained for.

It's pretty plain to see that Katie does resemble quite a bit how she is perceived - i.e. desperate for fame.

When Simon made sure Aiden was voted out in her stead last night, I think it's pretty obvious why: you've only got look at the reaction on this board and across Facebook to know that it was done to generate controversy. It did exactly that. So Simon has kept Katie in the competition ensuring that people resent her more and more - I'd say that's a pretty big sacrifice for Katie, even with her ambitions. I wonder if she is happy with how she has been used - maybe she is just happy to be in the papers. If it was me I would probably be wishing I had just been voted out.

You wouldn't enter a competition like this if you weren't hungry for fame and Simon didn't make sure Aiden was voted out ... the public did!!!

Well, she is delluded enough to think that she's a good singer, I'd think she is delluded enough to think she can 'win' us over. She also has her back up plan of going back to America where she doesn't have this crummy reputation.

Katie should be a warning for all those kids who think they want to be famous. Not all fame is equal and yes, you may well get more than you bargained for!

The OP is saying, if Katie was bottom of the public vote, it wouldn't have gone to deadlock.

But I agree, I think Katie is being used for publicity, and it's not going to help her career at all.

Katie will definitelty get other "work" outwith music.

What that will be who knows, most probably other reality shows.

There is something a little disturbing about someone so desperate for fame and validation.

Notice how when she speaks it's all about wanting people to "see the real me"...I don't think I ever heard her utter a word to the effect she wants to entertain people/give them a good time or even a good laugh.

I do agree, and its why I dont like her, BUT , remember , the others are the same, they wouldnt be on the show otherwise, they just hide it better.

I agree. She will be a Z list celeb attending the opening of an envelope & offering opinions on those annual Best of TV shows etc.

She will cash in on her infamy with a newspaper deal that is for sure.

cowell clearly paused for effect and thought when deciding where the axe would fall. i'm sure they know who gets the least votes before they vote. jeremy clarkeson wrote a great piece in the sun on saturday (I have clarkeson by the way) - essentially saying, its just an entertainment show, nothing more and really cowell doesnt care who wins cos either way he gets the dough. and therein you have it. he's saved katie again to generate further column inches. the media are to some extent perpetuating the problem. stop talking about her and she's history.

she is now damaged goods though and is about as popular in the UK as audley harrison and equally as marketable. she will never sell records here now. maybe it would enhance her career if she walked off and said i'm being used here?

but her contract will forbid it and that really would be a music-industry suicide note.

she was engaged as the 'desperate wannabe' and the leaks have been designed to make her even more unpopular. it would be difficult to overcome that, but not impossible.

Yes - but I was asking whether Katie has got more than she bargained for. She's got notoriety at the expense of people actually liking her. I think that'd be a tough one for anyone to swallow.

I also think Simon did ensure Aiden was voted out. The judges know how the voting stands. I don't actually care for either contestant - the manipulation irks me somewhat though.

There's a difference between ambition and desperation.

Storm proved that.... Katie has the same psychotic desperate need..... It isn't an endearing quality.

I don't see her relaxing her personalty anytime soon.
