Down to 7.5 million viewers, that dull show isn't going to help.

They have killed a huge amount of Sunday tension with knowing one who is there already.

With the dullness of that I hope we don't lose anymore viewers

I agree, that was the worst the results show has been in years. I hope they stop doing this awful flash vote and cover it up as just a week 1 twist.

Tweet Cowell. He's got his ears open, apparently.

If enough people tell him it's not working, he may revert back...

The flash vote is just a terrible idea. And it means if the first two judges to vote vote for whoever lost the flash vote, then they're going home. Zero drama.

Just a pathetic way to get people to vote twice a week.

I don't think they should keep it.

we should all email ITV to just drop it. It removes the tension.

Agreed, the tension was majorly lacking already knowing one half of the bottom. If they must do the flash vote, reveal the result on Sunday with the main result at least!

I hate the flash vote - wish it was back to how it used to be- agree no tension.

Be better if they had put 16 acts through - 4 per category - then Melanie, Joseph, Paul could be there. Then like series 7 (One Direction, Cher Lloyd , Wagner year) we could have a couple of double eliminations some weeks to add a bit more tension to the results show.

just said this in the ratings thread

really cant understand why they would want to do away with what has been the most dramatic and controversial part of the show , even if it was a bit contrived at times

when you change something shouldn't you try to make it better not worse though ?

Come back deadlock, all is forgiven!

You can email ITV at viewerservices@itv.com - enough emails should be enough to get them to drop it.

Ofcom is the other option.

It also gives the loser of the flash vote a day to mentally prepare whist the other person only has a few mins. Seems quite unfair.

I have no problem with it if it's just a snapshot but to put one in the sing off after 8 minutes seems so unfair

That wouldn't work as the viewers would have wasted 24hrs voting for someone who was already at the bottom of the flash vote.

In all essence what you are after is the ordinary announce the bottom two on Sunday result as previous years.

I just Sky + it and run it through to the end, also great for missing out the acts you don't like

Really flat show, the guests didn't help either. Need something like last season when James and Ella ended in the bottom 2, that was dramatic. Tonight was zzzzzzzzzzzzz
