What the hell is going on?! I can't remember the last time one of her acts opened the show or were let alone one of the first few performers. Its such a joke considering that she has always had the most acts in the show.

VOTE WAGNER AND MATT!!!!

It is truely ridiclous.

I thought there was a large amount of bias towards her in the previous two years but this year is something else!

I can't believe people are still surprised, we're in the 8th week and every week has been unfair, why would that change this week?

I agree.

It hasn't stopped her girls being in the bottom two seven times though. That says something.

Cher opened the show three weeks ago, and was on second last week. Katie being last AGAIN is ridiculous though, i completely agree.

And that is why they're keeping her acts away from that end of the show. If Cher and Katie were 1 and 2 and both ended up at the bottom and Cheryl had to choose one, there would be so many tears and tantrums the studio roof would fall off.

Yawn.

Firstly, Cher was second last week and opened the show the week before that. You should perhaps see a doctor if your memory is failing that badly.

Secondly, with 3 acts in the competition which has 7 finalists, probably dictates she is always very likely to have one or two acts in the second half in the show. In fact the only way she wouldn't have one in the second half would be having all three perform one after the other which is just silly.

Thirdly, the running order is based on the production and song choice, not what is fair. Wagner has always been on late because of his big production, this week however he was able to go earlier because of his more simple performance.

Come on, you cannot argue that the running order is not ridiculous this week. Groups and over 28s done before any of the girls appear when there's 3 left?!

And you're arguing that big productions have to go on later... You mean for the first act that appears they don't have all day to prepare for a big production?!

There's clearly some favouritism going on tonight, it's ridiculous.

I'm not a big Matt fan but he deserves a shot at closing the show, hopefully he doesn't do his dodgy rock voice lol, he has a strong voice otherwise!

Looking like Katie to close,otherwise it is three Cheryl acts back to back in the running order.

The running order isn't meant to be fair, it's not based on 1 act from Category A, then Category B, then category C, etc. It's based on what songs people are singing to make for a good show.

And you're arguing that big productions have to go on later... You mean for the first act that appears they don't have all day to prepare for a big production?!
No, they don't. When Dermot starts the show you'll see the stage is empty. They have to clear the stage inbetween each act and every act, different slots in the show allow longer and shorter times to do this.

The first slot is the shortest one in the whole show. The end slot is one of the longest, the longest one of all is the "one act, two ad breaks" slot which they have to use when acts have really big productions, such as Treyc Cohen in Week 4.

So for example this week, the acts with the big productions - Cher and 1 Direction - went in the slots AFTER the ad breaks, so that they'd have more time to prepare the stage (length of ad break + length of VT). The acts that followed Cher and 1 Direction performed slow and simple songs which a) constrasted well with the previous track and b) meant more time could be spent on removing the previous stage.

Granted, you could argue cher and 1 direction could have swapped slots, but then Cher Lloyd performed in that slot last weeks and 1 Direction are often last so this mixes it up.

They're doing two songs, remember, the running order in the second half can (and does) change. Nothing stopping Wagner from closing the show.

Which is why people are annoyed!

They'd also be annoyed if Dermot had to keep stalling if they couldn't clear and setup the stage in time as well.

Of coruse, what you perhaps mean to say is that people are only annoyed when it's happening to their favourite. Wagner has had the later slots on every single show before this week, and yet people still complained about him going first. Go figure.

She's on after the break, Cher or Matt will be last, which is "fair" as this forum always wants as they were the first two last week.
