Her experience pretty much mirrors Mary, Janet, Eoghan, Christopher and such like. Unfortunately for her, they've picked her apart far earlier than those acts mentioned, but clearly Cowell's winner is someone who hasn't been shoved in our faces / not much of a fan base yet, and he'll be wanting rid of those who stand in their way fairly early otherwise his golden act may end up getting lost in it all by those who already have an established fan base. Seems to be trying to channel the Leona edit this year.”
His chosen winner is already at the top and his name is Matt Terry.
Emily being sabotaged is to make sure that no rebel vote comes in those latter weeks against Matt Terry who will irritate people with being a frontrunner for so long.
He'll be left at the final two with someone that can't compete like Honey G, Saara, Freddy, or 5AM.
Matt Terry even gets vocal correction on his performances that most of the acts (and especially Emily) don't get as much of, or simply don't get at all.
