I really don't know to be honest. But one thing I do know, it's definitely affected the shows integrity. Whether real or imagined, the popular perception is that it's become too farcical.

I don't see why they would fix it, no skin off their backs who got thru, plus if they did prefer Lilly, they would have an idea the public would vote her back in,,,,,she should never have went in the 1st place, Janet should have, i like Janet but she is nowhere as good as Lilly

Option 3. If you think this was a conspiracy, after all the negative publicity generated for this show simulating The Fonz water ski-jumping a shark damaging the show's brand and integrity then I think you are a bit crazy; and more critically Amelia would never of sabotaged her own future prospects in this show by her & her family attacking the show after her shock Week 1 elimination.

That's what they want you to think. I won't call you crazy for believing there's no conspiracy because I don't attack other's beliefs. I won't even call you deluded. I won't call you naive and won't call you anything because that's just rude.

Well I will.

If you think Simon Cowell with the help/advice of his show's producers and his PR manager Max Clifford would premeditate the last few weeks which are like a simulation of Big Brother Series 7; Celebrity Big Brother 2007 & Big Brother 8 that helped trainwreck that previously very successful franchise in terms of ratings; advertising revenue & lower phone revenue because of all the twists and controversy that occurred that generated a huge amount of coverage in the media/tabloids but severely P***ed off the watching public then you are crazy *.

* Unless Simon Cowell's intention this series is to deliberately sabotage his own brand.

No way was it planned, stop being so paranoid.
