I can really see how desperate the producers are to get Misha in the final (even though she is clearly not very popular with the public) so expect crap songs, bad slots and neg feedback from the judges for Amelia next week
It depends on how strong her vote this week was. If she's doing really well they might pimp her to win to avoid a Marcus win (as I don't believe Little Mix are topping the vote)
Do you really believe that Mischa is the chosen one?
It's apparent that she is unpopular with the public having been in the bottom 3 so often so everyone involved in the show know she cannot win.
By keeping her in over other more "popular" contestants who were more likely to get votes in the final weeks leaves the road open for the real chosen ones, Little Mix.
The show has never had a group win & a group of girls put together by the show itself would be a real headliner.
Eliminate the competition using a proven unpopular contestant and they have a free run.
No need for sabatoge...Amelia is more marketable in pop mainstream,but Misha is the better singer with more potential...it will come down to which is preferred.I prefer Misha,but there is no way to know which of them will be in danger.
Well they haven't confirmed if there will be a sing off - but they didn't last year either for the semi.
I fully expect Misha to be last in the vote (as she probably was tonight) again - and bottom 2. Its hard to call the other place - but a semi final sing off stinks.
Let the public decide now - whoever is last in the vote next week goes home. No fixes, no oscar winning performance from Kelly - let the public decide!

Little Mix are no way the chosen ones. They were fodder until ET and Gary has derided them for weeks.
How are they going to say it isn't fixed when Misha gets to the finals when she has been saved so many times? They are scared that Amelia will make it, either way this is a PR disaster.
Janet is better off out of it, she doesn't need The X Factor and Little Mix will be fine too.
I think Janet wanted out, I do not believe an Indie kid would choose Mmmbop even as a guilty pleasure.

Exactly. If she sings a great song there is no excuses. The fans will be at fault if she doesn't get through.

Good point. I think we will see the work done by all the other tactics - VT, judges' comments, song choice, place in the running order - rather than overtly by a sing-off.

No she's not, she's unpopular with the few thousand people who vote on X Factor, and are brainwashed by the producers to vote the way they want them to.
