If you are in the bottom two more than once you're eliminated automatically!
They save people like misha b, union j, again and again, yet evidently they continually get the least votes, so it's pointless saving them. You should be allowed one bad week, but after that no more second chances.
Less so with union j, but misha got put through over people who might just have had one bad week, which was a bit unfair when she was lowest a lot.
In future this makes more sense, as judges can like someone and choose them no matter what, which isn't fair to those who vote either.

Maybe a three strikes and out rule is better?

What if two fall into the bottom two for a second time at the same time, and there aren't enough weeks ahead to fill the show if both are eliminated?

This would mean you could possibly be automatically eliminated despite never actually having received the least amount votes. You could be climbing in the ranks week on week (as one contestant leaves each week) and still be eliminated for it.

Fair enough but the show could be over in about 5 weeks if that happens 3 or 4 times

Base it on who was most recently in the bottom two. As that would imply a more consistent drop in quality.

Or, more realistically, treat it as we now do with a deadlock and go with the public's vote, lowest out.

The real problem with this system is that you will end up with shows where there is no need for a sing off, although I would counter that with the act leaving gets to do a goodbye song maybe?

If you are in the bottom two twice, how about a big trap-door in the floor springs open and you fall 100 feet headlong into and fall into a bath full of green gunge and all the previous series' losers? That would help boost the ratings!

Totally agree with this! As much as I liked Union J, it does get a bit too much when the panel are constantly voting to save them. It was obvious tonight that had they been in the final two with Chris Maloney and it had gone to the judges vote then all the judges other than Gary would have voted for Union J to stay, even if they had known that Chris had more votes than them!

I personally think that James would have been in the bottom two again this week with Union J and they done the results in reverse order with James the 2nd least votes, Chris in the middle and Jahmene topping the vote this week!

No chance, but you will find out next week all the voting for each week.

That would mean that last week, both would have gone.

I can see them introducing a rule to get rid of an unwanted contestant.

For one week, announce that next week you will be voting for who you want to eliminate.

I think that's a terrible idea, to be honest - only thing they need to change is to actually vote based on the sing-off, rather than to change the criteria to suit yours (or the producers) agenda.

I'd have no problem with someone being in the bottom two and surviving every single week if they were the better singer in the sing-off.

Pointless though. They are not going to win if they are constantly in the bottom two, so why? what purpose to keep them there week after week. It is not right

After about the first 3 weeks of saves the lowest should just go anyway, reveal the bottom 3 for the first 3 weeks to avoid arguments about thinking people are safe etc and by week 4, most people have their favourite, tough that the judges disagree, public vote controls it, lowest out.

If they are going to introduce a leader board as the USA have, and which the papers have said Cowell plans to do, you are going to see a difference in voting and winners anyway

Australia has shown you can win if been B2. Samantha Jade was B2 3 times and 1 of those 3 was the very first week and 1 of the people she beat had never been in the B2

And your stance of it you might aswell just do away with the B2 and just do person with least votes leaves
