This is laughable.
Yes there is some manipulation and whatnot. But you'd have to be an idiot to think they had pre-selected most of the people who have won to win. Secondly. the 'secret auditions' you speak of are not only not secret but very much OPEN TO EVERYONE! Here's an ad featuring Dermot inviting people to them this year: http://www.itv.com/xfactor/news/call...his-years-show Also these are done at the after the open auditions, not before as you claim. Thirdly, in regards to voting, in case you haven't noticed (given the above, probably not), most voting is now *FREE* via the app. Syco makes little money - if any - on the leftovers of the diminishing phone vote. Syco and Thames get their money from ITV to make the show. ITV then sell ads and sponsorship across and around the production. |

I love how everybody thinks that the OP is Gifty
That has certainly made my morning!Some interesting points made by the OP but like others have said, all the opinions and information written by the OP has been debated on in many other threads, so it's nothing particularly new we're reading. Though, It really wouldn't surprise me if the show was actually fixed. ![]()

Actually, there are privately scouted acts who have "meetings" and sing for the producers pre show. The skip cattle call if chosen, and will almost certainly make at least bootcamp solo rounds. These acts usually have fan bases,experience, and enough talent to get attention.
On the rare occasion that an act with little to no experience makes it far-ish, they usually get told to come back another season and try again, and rarely do well,even if amazing. |

![]() I really wouldn't be surprised if the OP could also be SB too!! It could be also Ryan Ruckledge from last year's X Factor and Celebrity Big Brother!! He has apparently claimed before many times that the show is a fix!

Thanking you all for reading my topic and having your say, but me being Gifty, give over lol Quote:
The "Whats Really Going On" thread in these forums, which I did not start but chose to speak out in, covers a lot you touched on in more detail,, Mr Truth, but also, covers much you missed and clears up what you misinformed about(for instance, many acts are not already signed, though they are scouted. Also,the producers generally have a few acts in mind for the show and a specific type of act, but do not pick who to invest in etc until the actual process has begun.
Honestly, your post has as much misinformation as it does information.I admit to wondering weather you pieced things together and posted your best guesses(admittedly good ones if so for someone who clearly does not have much if any inside info) or were sent here to write it to try to distracts from the "Whats really going on " thread. If the former, you are on the right track and that thread may fill in some blanks for you...if the latter, nice try , but plenty of people here already know better. As for pHoney G not winning, you should know they want a male pop act if you know "the truth". Quote:

Syco and Thames get their money from ITV to make the show. ITV then sell ads and sponsorship across and around the production. Finally, I think we are all missing the point here (as in not only the people who are fixed to win this year) but the public being used like puppets to take part in these fake auditions session and splashing out money for a show when there is already a winner to start off with. Also, the music scene with is filled with The X factor nonsense and real music by true artists. |

You know what? I've never bought an X-Factor winner's single, although I've watched every season. The reason? I'd rather they did an original single. I think they attempted that with Shane Ward, but the single was terrible.
