Do you think because of being accused a bully people automatically went off her?

I personally could never warm to her, I found her to be unbearably smug when she got through week 1, and I find her put on baby voice and fake smile a desperate way to turn her into a victim.

YES. Her and Louis. Without question their comments have been a big factor.

hell yeah!

I don't think people do blame Tulisa anymore - I think they are blaming Misha for when she confessed.

Tulisa didn't accuse Misha of bullying.

And to answer the question, no. Misha wasn't all that liked before bully-gate to begin with.

No, I think Misha's to blame for Misha being in the bottom. Her singing style doesn't appeal to everyone.

Very much doubt it. Tulisa's probably to blame for her still being in the competition after last week though.

Misha ain't all that folks, flat and shouty with an unlikable tone, a personality that seems to change as much as her dreadful sense of style, a history of bullying, and getting rammed down viewers throats with contrived sympathy vote VT's do not a popular contestant make.

We'll see when the voting figures come out I guess. My thinking is she wasn't that popular before the who thing anyway and isn't popular now either.

Misha is boring and hard to like. I wish they'd stop saving her every week, can't they see we don't want her in the competition anymore?

Considering this program appears to have become more of a personality contest than a singing one, it's quite possible that Tulisa and Louis's comments have had some effect on Misha B's votes.

I thought you had decided to move on yet you just cannot hep yourself. Singers are either flat or shouty thy cannot be both. Just because you obsess over one trick pony Janet.
Tulisa is not dumb and wanted to win at all costs, there is no excuse for what she did to Misha. She showed what a conniving, underhand person she was.

Tulisa did not call her a bully btw.

No. The excessive hype for her is the reason for it. People don't like a teacher's pet and as we are constantly told she will have a successful career anyway, why would anyone part with their cash and vote for her?

The more the judges try and ram a contestant down the public's throat, the grater the gag reflex will be.

Tulisa's comments were clealrly scripted by the producers. I think they were hoping it would give her a vote boost as it did with a contestant in X Factor Australia when a judge made the same remarks to him a couple of weeks before.

Louis went off script with his "bully" accusation though and was made to apologise for it. Misha is a victim of idiotic production decisions.

No I really did want to "move on", but some people just wouldn't let it go. Not you though, you've been alright for the most part.

Anyways, no, there were some notably flat parts, and at other times it was just shouty.

She is in the position she is in because of her own behaviour, not Tulisa's.

She even admited the following week she was a bully, and rightly, the UK public are not supporting a self-confessed bully.

I don't think Tulisas comments helped much, but can't really pin it on just that.

Despite what people say she is incredibly talented, she could wipe the floor with every single act on the show.
But she has zero likability, she is very arrogant, then the bullying stuff and then the show clearly favoring her doing everything to make her look nice and sweet (which of course backfires as always).

The mud stuck as most people wernt aware of her behaviour and then she compounded it by admitting she was a bully at school.;

Could turn out to be a good thing! They hardly ever kick out the controversial acts. At least not until the end.

No. Misha's at the bottom because she's awful.

At the time I thought that Tulisa and Louis were fearing Misha and capitalized on the opportunity to take her down a peg or two.
I think they may have over-estimated Misha as competition and didn't expect her to end up in the bottom two so quickly.

Once that doubt about a person's character enters the viewer's minds then it's hard to silence it.

Tulisa was quite careful about how she phrased it and just said Mischa was quite feisty back stage and said Mischa probably didn't realise she was doing it but her comments could come across as quite mean.
It was Louis who waded in quite clumsily with the word bully. Kelly should have diffused the situation but her reactions just inflamed it.

But I am not sure it would have made that much difference at the time and should be water under the bridge by now.

It is quite difficult to get to know the real Mischa as she seems quite measured in her responses rather than giving more natural replies. And I think she has lost a bit of her identity and individuality as she tries to soften her image. I much preferred her early performances in the live shows.

Based on talent I definitely think she deserves to be in the final but I think she is probably a lot of people's second or third favourite and therefore does not pick up the votes.

I think the producers knew Misha's bully history would surface eventually, so they decided to try and preempt that, turn it into a sympathy thing. But the fact is, it's backfired, and blown up right in their faces, just like every cheap trick they've tried to make this unpopular contestant popular.

Pathetic thread, FMs need to stop bullying Misha B.
