Fix Faxtor strikes again! Can't say I was a Frankie fan, but this is discusting. It's clear that they wanted to make room for The Risk on the XF tour. They say that talking about drug use breaks the golden rule..So does that mean that racism and bulling (from other contestants) is ok? I didn't hear of anyone else getting booted.I hope Frankies voters get a refund.

It's true that Frankie shouldn't have gone through to the lives, but he did, solely on the decision of the producers. I also don't believe for one minute that Frankies partying was all his own doing. XF want us to believe that Gary told Frankie not to party and to stay in, then as soon as his back is turned Frankie goes out, scrambling together the XF camera crew and all their equipment in the process. If his behavior was so unfamily friendly then why show it on the VT and why show every tabloid headline on Xtra Factor? Frankies whole personality was scripted and shaped by producers from the start to attract the media to the show.

Then *shock horror*...pet project,The Risk, were voted out in 9th place meaning they don't go on tour, but if another contestant was booted they would fill the 8th place so it's bye bye Frankie, welcome to the tour Risk.

Don't get me wrong, if Frankie was booted out by public voting I'd be cheering along with the rest, but to over-ride the public vote in such a way is discusting. Will Frankies voters be getting a refund?

I won't be watching the rest of this series, not as any sort of boycott, but because I honestly have lost interest in the whole show. We can all see the show is fixed and that viewers are manipulated from the start, but for me overriding votes when they don't give the desired result is a step too far.

I believe Aiden went out ninth last series and was invited on the tour nonetheless so it seems there is nothing set in stone.

I would like to see Johnny benefit from being on the tour myself.

It does all seem rather convenient so that the Risk can go on the tour, I'll give you that.

I also agree with you on Frankie with the crew, Frankie getting to and from nightclubs who the hell drove him to them if not an employee of the shows! they wanted this wild child, and then when it suited them they wanted him GONE..

Also agree on the other two who have bullied and been racist, that seems to be acceptable though!! if true both should have been booted off as well.

Johnny finished 8th so I think he'll be on the tour

There's no doubt they wanted Frankie out partying. Olly said on the Xtra Factor that when he was in the house they weren't allowed to go out, So this rule was obviously changed so that Frankie could go out

Plus where the house is, there is literally nothing except a village shop and a few quiet pubs. In order for Frankie to go clubbing, the producers must either have laid on transport for him, or at the very least, let a taxi through security. If they hadn't, there is nowhere that he could feasibly have got to by his own means.

They shouldn't have let them go out past a certain time of night. I know the over 18s are technically adults and they can't exactly imprison them, but they could certainly give them a curfew.

Mind you, encouraged or not, all the contestants should be using this opportunity as a job, and making the most of it. If I consistently turned up for work drunk, off my face on drugs, or even only having had 30 minutes sleep, and then performed really badly, I'd have got the sack. It's no different really.

Can you provide solid evidence that Misha was bullying contestants? No. Stop making stuff up for goodness sake. Frankie ADMITTED to taking Cocaine, a highly illegal Class-A drug, would you want your show associated with that tripe? I didn't think so.

You realise that they can add whoever the **** they want to the tour, right?

Just like last year.

Just like in 2007 with Futureproof.

The only thing reaching a low around here are these conspiracy theories. At least put a BIT of logic into them.

Ah, I see where your problem is. Let me help you out.

The bullying accusation was made and retracted by Louis Walsh. It obviously didn't happen, so no-one would be booted out because of it.

The racism accusation was made by Derry and denied by Kitty. Some contestants supported Derry's version of events, whilst others supported Kitty's. An investigation was done by the show. Seeing as Kitty wasn't booted, we can safely assume there was no evidence she had made any racist remarks.

It's been reported that Frankie had either taken cocaine or boasted about doing so in the X Factor house. It has been officially announced that Frankie has been removed from the competition for breaking a "golden rule." We don't know for sure if it was due to coke, but we can safely assume that the investigation by the show found good enough evidence to support that accusation that he broke the rules. Frankie himself has admitted to breaking the rules, has apologised publically and has left the show without fighting the accusation.

That's the difference. Misha and Kitty are still there because the accusations against them were unfounded tabloid bollocks. Frankie is gone because the accusations against him were true.

All very simple, really.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
