Why are people so surprised at this happening? From the moment the format was devised this was always going to happen. As lots of people have said already, the format is seriously flawed once you start giving the judges power to directly influence who stays and who goes.....especially when the judges have such poor taste .

You wait..next week if Cassie or Scabby go a note wrong and end up in the Bottom 2, Simon will have great pleasure in getting his own back on Sharon. I'm just hoping for Cassie's sake she performs well nest week. As for Scabby, I couldn't care less

Oh wise up, Sharon loved 2 to Go, she said it in the earlier show,and last week, whereas she wasn't as impressed with Verity at all. It was not to do with Simon, everyone who is saying that she is is just trying to find an excuse for why she voted of Verity rather than admitting that Verity actually was bad and was the weakest singer on the show. It was obvious that Sharon would vote Verity of as soon as it was announced who the two bottom ones were, judging by what she said earlier about the two acts and why shouldn't she vote for the ones she thought (and who did do) did a lot better, to stay. Two to Go deserved to go through more than Verity.

yep, but that was last week and this isn't. What's this crap about her feeling sorry for her decision? Balls, she didn't hesitate or look the least sorry. That was personal

It's perfectly clear that it's Louis & Sharon V Simon.There is no secret about that.Sharon wants to see Simon fail so that is why she got rid of Verity.Earlier on in the night Sharon had some sympathy for Verity but how quickly that all changed.

I thought Verity was better and disappointed sharon voted her off but thats the game...
in saying that, i just dont get 2 to Go. I don't enjoy listening to them at all and find them very 'ordinary', there is nothing special or different about them.
I don't think they are particularly good singers and think its a shame when the better performers get voted out, ie roberta last week is soooo much better than 2 to go and verity.

I don't believe the 'rivalry' between the judges is anything but choreographed theatre. They're pretending to feud, and everyone is lapping it up.

Its funny how now that Verity has been voted out, all her fans come out to protest You should have voted for her then. Sorry but it has happened now and yes I agree she was better than 2 to go tonight, but her nerves affected her a little and she wasn't the X Factor at all. She needs a big confidence boost to sound okay. This just teaches you a lesson...if you want an act to go through, vote for them. The judges are being very tactical in who they are going to choose.

Don't be so surprised this happened..it going to happen EVERY week now.

Sharon has gone on record saying she will do anything to stop Simon winning as she does not want to boost his ego. The judges vote is a complete farce, as Louis and Sharon will gang up on Simon every week. Its pathetic and I shan't be wasting anymore money on votes as Its a complete joke. I thought we the public were meant to decide who had the x-factor, instead it has degenerated into a petty squabble between the judges. Will be interesting to see the voting percentages as I reckon that Verity will have polled more than 2 to Crap.

I think you will find that most of the Verity fans if not all of them on here voted for her.

I voted for Verity.

Sharon Osbourne has really gone down in my estimation. She only voted Verity out to get back at Simon. 2 To Go are totally cringeworthy and make me feel queasy. Verity performed miles better than them today.

I think you'll find it's Mrs LOL


Based on what? This one decision? Do me a favour. Voting in a way you don't agree with makes her essentially 'snide' and 'devious' as a person? Really?


Eh?


Well possibly, and he hasn't tried to spite her? I think everyone on this board has come to the conclusion that this show is all about the "gloves off , there are no rules" fighting between judges.



Agreed. She may have been trying to contradict Simon (see above) or she may have believed it. No-one knows but Sharon and her inner circle on that score. Our views are merely conjecture and I wish sometimes they would be presented as such instead of 'fact'.


Clear to whom? Much as I felt sorry for Auntie Vee (whoever coined that term has alot to answer for- it's the only way I can think of her right now ) personally I think Two2Go were better tonight. It may have been revenge, it may not. We're never likely to know.


I (expressing a personal opinion of one here) can't think of anyone better qualified to be a judge. Are you saying Simon shouldn't be a judge if he votes in an 'unfair' (but understandable due to vested interest) manner?


Well at least we're in agreement on something I still do like her however
