I don't think it's a conspiracy to get her to win, because it will never happen. But she is one of the better performers of a lacklustre lineup, so I think they want to keep her in as long as possible to keep the live shows watchable. I imagine she is a goner next weekend.”
This is so wrong it's laughable. The people who would buy a MishaB album probably don't vote in the popularity contest that the X Factor has become. Those people tend to support their artists if they prove themselves in the long run, rather than the flash-in-the-pan, fickle support from the pre-teen girls watching on a Saturday evening.
