Simon doesn't get overall say - the producers do!
Brooks axed hours before show!!
3 of 4
Dermot just said that they are not appearing tonight, but didn't say they were out altogether. Surely they cant give them a free pass?
I wish this means we'd get Four of Diamonds back via a wildcard vote, but it's not realistic. They are simply too dangerous to 5AM.

It's understood that the removal from the live line up relates to claims about one of the brothers being accused of assault.
"Everyone is in total shock and no one can quite believe it," an X Factor source told the newspaper.
They added: "New information came to light early this afternoon and as a result bosses felt they had no choice but to suspend Brooks Way until further investigation.”

'Everyone is in total shock' .... even though the 'incident' is meant to have taken place last New Year's Eve.
Of course they are.
I heard one of them allegedly hit his girlfriend .
They should bring back that brother and sister they were Welsh I think ?

Simon is one of the executive producers though so clearly he is one of the people making the decisions. Other judges probably not.

X Factor bosses have dramatically suspended The Brooks brothers from the show - just hours before tonight’s first live final.
Show producers were forced to take action against twins Josh and Kyle, both 17, over allegations relating to Josh and his ex-girlfriend Amelia Clarke.
A show insider said: “They’re investigating serious allegations about Josh allegedly sending threatening messages to her.”

If one of the brothers is guilty of assault, it's sad that the other one is penalised. Twins are not the same person, he should be allowed to carry on.

They've given free passes before - but only for illness.

Hedging their bets until they decide whether to play it down or make an example of them. They'll make a decision in a few days I reckon and have one of the other bands on standby
They cant play this down and if they try to spin it their should be an outcry.
Domestic violence affecting young women is rising quickly, Cowell shouldnt be making a celebrity out of someone accused of doing it.

If I recall, Miss Dynamix were the last act to be given a bye in Week 2 in season 10, but went home two weeks later.

Considering this is Simon's show, he'll do just about anything to get ratings for his show, no matter how unpardonable the sin is.

I think too late also. They should have been brought back tonight. I would not complain if they were brought back however.
