Simon loved Samantha Lavery from her first audition and raved about her and then at bootcamp he did the same. Then at the six chair challenge he said she was one of the ones he was counting on to make the category good and he's shown with his fingers crossed as she's about to perform. Then one very average performance and she's gone, with many awful singers on the seats. Then tonight we find out she's his wildcard. I don't mind as I like her, but it's so obviously set up. I bet he puts her through to the live shows and then makes a big song and dance about bringing her back.

I like Samantha when she's on it so I don't mind if she goes through, not really bothered about the set up thing so long as they are decent girls put through

The way they brought back the chicken guys was hilarious. There is no such thing as 12 places in the lives, there is only 11, 1 spot is always reserved for a joke act and the mannerisms of the chicken guys really, really, looks pre planned and the way they were brought back was clearly pre planned.

"You chose the wrong song and you've got to sort your style out, so eventually I'm taking you off the chairs"(effectively)
But by the live shows all of them will have had an image makeover and will have all their songs chosen for them.

last series was the most fake by far
