When she wins, she will romp it, does it call into question how they can bring the show back

I can't see her winning, the injustice of her skipping so many weeks will put a lot of people (myself included) off.

No because if she wins the xfactor will be finished as people who have voted to keep their acts in week in week out will know it was fixed in her favour,

A lot.

And it wasn't really. She was awful in the first week and deserved to go.

I posted on another thread the show is dead if someone misses all these weeks and has a bye to this stage of the competition . Too many people couldn't take her serious as the show winner after that and participants in a competition are supposed to have the same playing field not one given a free pass over several rounds

Wrong , you will see in the coming weeks your opinion is a massive fail.

Wrong that she deserved to go or wrong that a lot of people don't agree?

Indeed, the 48% of people who voted Amelia now have an incentive to watch who didn't in the last month. No wonder the ratings had fallen but have increased again this week.

Doesn't seem to have affected the voting public !

Must be just you then.

I really don't rate her. A shouter at best. She doesn't look well either. Very hard faced

So the votes will have been fixed if she wins ? do you think ITV and their phone operator will risk fraud charges and possible subsequent prison sentences if they were found guilty in order to see her win ?

The real injustice in this show is the amount of singers already fallen by the wayside for the Karoke crew that are still begging a place in the show.

Result doesn't go your way, spits dummy and screams fix. If Little Mix won, it wouldn't be a fix I presume?

Please, enter reality.

It doesn't matter now, the XFactor is like BB, when it falls flat just chuck someone out and fetch in someone else. Winning is no longer important, in fact it is a disadvantage because they disappear for a year while other acts have music out before them and do better.

It is what it is, an entertainment show for when there is nothing else to do on cold winter Saturday evenings.

It would make no difference atall,the contract is already signed and its got another 2 year minimum.If they don't want someone to win they just make sure the person gets bad press.

She deserves to win based on talent and voice, she shouldn't of been voted out in the first place. If Kelly had kept her in she would of got to this point in the show as she has massive support.

IMO she was the best last night, but as a few others have said I thought she was poor with her first song of the competition. On that occasion she was nervous and out of tune, although she was first on to open the show. Time will tell how she will cope with the pressure, and being given wrong songs which are slowed down to talking pace.

All credibility is gone now that she has been re-instated WEEKS into the show !! An absolute farce.

If she wins it........they may as well just cancel the thing.

Its hard to believe such a massive show could literally implode so quickly... but there you go... it has !

Kelly made a bad decision getting rid of Amelia in the first show. I think it would be great for the show if Amelia wins. We just love a "comeback", and she is awesome......

No, the million and one things that happened in the show before her return have put it in jeopardy. If anything, I think she will be good for the show. Certain female contestants need a shake-up and Amelia's just the person to do it!

I think you're being pedantic here.

It's a clear point. She had left the competition. She gave off about it. [Not as important, but it probably affects how people see her.] Then coincidentally, Frankie leaves and a space is left. Oh and look: we just happen to have four spare singers. It's announced the night before that Amelia is in, Twitter knows and the 'leaked' pages. Amelia comes in 5-6-however many weeks in, after the other acts have worked their asses off. It doesn't scream 'fair'.

I'm playing devil's advocate a bit here, but I don't think it was fair to bring back one of those four. It should have been an eliminated but popular contestant.

Frankie broke the rules though so they were valid to chuck him out. He even said himself that he didn't deserve to be in the competition any longer.

The ratings have increased this week, as it was bonfire night last week. Simples
