Contestants comming in half way through the competition

we have had the sob stories, the walk outs, the thrown outs and the twists

whats next? bringing in their friends and family to perform with them

I dont just see why they dont bring the last one who went out back

If I had spent money voting this year trying to keep an act that had gone out
I would not be pleased that someone who had not proved themselves in past weeks was brought in as a replacement

It makes a mockery of the other contestants that have not had a free ride to half way through the competition

I think they will do a spin off named... x factor living

They're panicking, which is exactly what happened with Big Brother during series 7. Instead of accepting the series as a bad one; taking the decline and working with the basic sculpture to mould the next series into a more successful one, they're just throwing everything at this and hoping something sticks.

Well...something's going to stick but let's just say it's not pretty.
