People like you won't be happy until a burka wearing lesbian refugee in a wheelchair wins.
I'd vote for them

No, they just suck.

Last four winners: two male, two female.

Including a girlband.

But overall, we have 7 male winners, and 4 female winners. That's almost doubly in favor of male artists.

On strictly you vote for the pair in reality. All the females have a hunky dancer partner! I'm sure that's getting plenty of votes as well.
bib: Apart from Katie Derham, who has Anton Du Bek.

Not to mention how many females have actually reached the finals (as in the last 3/4)

based on what we have seen so far i reckon monica and louisa are shoo-ins for the final
Not if the housewife vote has anything to say about it.

I think being female on the X Factor (Especially girl groups) is a disadvantage in general. Its not so bad in the later stages but definitely is present in the early ones.

I think Bupsi, Kiera and Alien were the fair choices for the bottom 3 in this particular week, though so no real complaints from me.

Apart from the fact Max stayed despite absolutely aborting Adele, being incredibly bland and boring. But I'm absolutely positively sure that has nothing at all to do with the fact he's male. I'd never insinuate that. Nope. Never.

I know you would.

Spoken like a true hate monger.
Okay.

Yep.

2nd place: 9 males, and 2 females.
3rd place: 8 males, 2 females, and 1 mixed group.

So overall in the 11 past series of The X Factor, the final 3 has consisted of 24 male artists, 8 female artists, and 1 mixed group.

If it's another double next week surely it will be Kiera and a male act won't it

It will be another female that will leave, I bet.

Voted for by a big majority of females.

i'll prefer to wait on their performances rather than just make assumptions based on demographics

kiera and bupsi were imo the worst 2 acts last night and deserved to be in the bottom 3 , alien are so far away from my taste in music its hard for me to judge them so i cant really argue with them being out

my two favourite acts from last night were louisa and monica , but that was based on their performances not because they were female

i genuinely think people take demographics far too seriously and just overlook the quality of the performances, max was dodgy last night and i cant take to him at all as he just doesn't seem convincing trying to do reggae and that was definitely the wrong song to try and do in that style but at least it was an attempt to do something creative rather than just a weak copy of the original like kiera and bupsi did

You have some evidence for that?

Looks like it. 3 black or mixed race female acts in the first B3 of the show. Lol never change GBP.
Wasn't a problem for Little Mix, who have one black girl and one mixed race girl.

To be fair to tulisa who is always heavily criticised on here , she did a brilliant job in pushing them and the won't steal your boyfriends line was a masterstroke to get traditional voters onside.

Not so sure that line would apply nowadays

I think females are generally at a disadvantage in shows like X-Factor where the public vote.

In my opinion Max was awful, if he had been female, he would have been in the bottom three, for sure.

I maintain that Max wasn't awful, the remix was awful. Max sung it well in spite of the track.

I see that point, but I still don't think 2 of them being non-white had anything to do with it.

On SCD Jamelia has been in the bottom 2 three times despite having some of the best marks from the judges. Shows what is happening with the voting public.

Yes the remix was terrible, I agree. But I still maintain if he was called Maxine, then Maxine would have been in the bottom three.

Quite possibly, but we can't really say one way or another with hypothetical situations, can we?

And yet the truly abominable Reggie and Bollie (who are black) were not in the bottom three.

Yes maybe the voters are a lot fairer on that
Why would it be fairer to vote out all the male contestants first than it is to vote out all the female contestants first? Also, I would think most SCD viewers are also TXF viewers.
