Next week: bottom 2 or public vote only?
Normally at this stage the competition goes to public vote. Is this going to happen next week or will there be a bottom 2 to give the program more control. Hoping to catch Chris in bottom 2?

I think as Christopher is still there they might keep the judges vote, to veto the public one.

Imagine if there is a sing off next week and Union J are saved again, they will be in the final after being in the bottom two 4 times!

If there is a sing off then it will be between James and Union J with James going into the final. If it is only based on public vote, James will go home.

Or is this just another way of manipulating the show so the public has no real say? |

I wouldn't be surprised if its a bottom 3 sing off next week, with the judges sending 1 home out of the 3.

Depends who is at the bottom of the votes. Remember in 2010 when they changed their minds and had a bottom two between Cher and Mary because Cher had the least votes, even though they said there would be no bottom two the night before....

1) totally backfire if Chris topped the votes again and 2) give out the winner |

The thing is, there are no holy rules. Some people talk about 'manipulation' as if it's this dark and defiling thing that's happening and as if they're entitled to have something pure . . . in the end you get to vote to save people. That's it. If people don't like this, they shouldn't really be voting. Although it has to be said, the real sense of entitlement people can act as if they have is kind of a product of the show's 'EVERYTHING IS SO IMPORTANT' message. |

Would this be Cher who has been doing rather well for herself recently?

With Chris having been saved this week there will be a sing off next week, probably accompanied by strategically placed articles in the press all week about Chris drowning his neighbour's cat or something equally far fetched

And 2009 when Danyl Johnson went out in a public vote. And not in 2010 when they wanted Mary out. Is that you Mr Cowell? |

I wish the XFactor would take a big step like the US The Voice has this year and only let the judges manipulate it to a certain point, then let the public decide.
I would much prefer a bottom 3 for the first couple of weeks to see which 3 are struggling or considered safe etc then public lowest vote goes out, all the way! They should really hand the show over to the public, completely or why bother at all. The public shouldn't have to make decisions about who is going to sell records in the US, why should they care? The majority probably just want to keep seeing the ones they like sing each week till the show ends. |
