I know Matts performance was not his best. But he nearly ended up in the bottom three tonight
So if Matt is the favourite then why was he near the bottom tonight

We do not know that at all. They are called out in no particular order so he could in fact have topped the vote.
the fact that he was saved by the public after performing first/ getting his first negative feedback and still making it through actually shows he is getting a lot of public votes possibly the most.

It could have been a warning to him to not get cocky.

We know Dermot says it every weekend, but it might not be true!

It doesn't mean "random" order it means "no particular order".
It means that the names could be in any order at all.
If that order is the actual order most votes to least votes, then that's that.
Because the producers were called out early and often for having him pref or Ryan be chosen this season(male pop pref solo) and they can make it look almost reasonable if he isn't tops every week and Ryan "improves".
I made sure to post that they wanted a male pop act from audition rounds , and others did the same. The shows like X Factor have been going so long now that some who no longer feel like there is any threat/never signed contracts forbidding revealing info are beginning to speak out.

The names are called out in 'no particular order' meaning whoever is called out 4th last could just as easily be top of the voting as 4th last, no one knows the order that's the point. Dermot clearly says this before he reads the vote out every week and still some people don't get it!

I don't think Matt was anywhere near the bottom 3, I think they often call out the last person who's through with the most votes! Wasn't Emily called out last the week before? It was so obvious that Matt was going through!

I personally think that Matt and Emily are topping the votes!
They're trying to make his journey look more difficult because they know that people complained last year that Louisa had an easy journey.
However I like this strategy more from the show, if his gonna win this series (although I strongly disapprove the decision) at least pretend that the others are actually in the race.

I'm starting to think he is too bland to win. Last year, although she was bland, noone could doubt Louisa was a blinding singer. I don't think Matt is going to win it and I might be the first person to say that, but I really do see either Emily or Honey, yes Honey G winning this year.

I see it as Emily too as she's the most easily marketable, or 5 after midnight. Despite my wishful thinking and hoping, I do think Honey G will be in the final.

BIB, more deafening than blinding.
I did have a brief flash of hope he might be bottom 3! But I imagine he still topped the vote, I expect he's been top 2 every week. The only week I think he wasn't first was probably last week when Emily did Creep.
He was no more or less near the bottom 3 than he has been any week, as far as we know. I am pretty sure that's a tactic, particularly if he is the "chosen one", to give his fans a jolt and make sure they vote for him next week.

Sure, it may not be true.
Sometimes the last called out is almost in the bottom, most of the times, they are not.
Look at the % across all the years, the order is always in random order.
To be clear: the order they are called safe does NOT reflect their position in the voting, hence they are calling it 'no particular oder'. However, it is far from random. They are being called out in the order that will serve the program best in terms of generating suspense and in terms of subliminal messages.
In practise, this means that an act polling anywhere on the table can be called out last, thus ramping up the suspense (is he, or isn't he safe ???), and at the same time giving a suggestion that they have cleared the B2 by the skin of their teeth.
In past seasons, certain acts like Christopher Maloney would be left in this position for most weeks, which planted the idea that they had somehow 'snatched' the place of whoever was in the B2, thus playing into their 'villain' role.
