A lot of the acts that have got through this year and last have been absolutely atrocious.

The vote is just the vote to save as most of the voters don't really care about the performance just keeping usually a male act in.

Most of the reasons they vote to save someone would be the same as in big brother.

The performances are really just a sideshow to all of the above

No but they should totally make the contestants give their opinion on the worst two of the night... (almost nominations)

I've never watched Big Brother so I couldn't possibly say . But I do think it sad that reportedly some people vote because the contestant is from their area

I'm sure a lot of the boybands get through as well because predominantly teenage girls fancy them. Look at 1D, JLS, Union J etc.

If they wanted the show to be more like BB, they would install 24/7 cameras in the house.

My boyfriend is Welsh and when ever there's a Welsh contestant he says: "Oh I like him,"

"He hasn't sang yet,"


"Don't care, He's Welsh" Regional voting, ladies& gents

Yep, that's all it is. If it was a singing competition, Paul would be in the final 12, but he's not, so it isn't. Shelley has little going for her except a likeable personality, and she made it.

Bottom line? It's a likeability competition, just like Big Brother.

Yes it is, but without Big Brother's integrity

Sounds like the first series of Fame Academy, I used to love it when the contestants came back from an event late at night and they were drunk on LF.

Imagine if one of the two HMs with the least votes then had to be saved by Emma, Rylan and AJ.

People would go mental.
