A double eviction?
Winner: Ratings
Loser: Poor Dionne who didn't get a swan song


A clearly poor performance WINS over a sound performance on the basis of the contestant's better potential?
Winner: Ratings
Losers: Those who voted for Kerry.

Celebs making guest appearances?
Winners: Fans of the guest artists and ratings
Losers: The guest artists.

This sort of stuff is the reality-show manipulation sleaze that Endemol have been accused of in their recent productions. Although guest appearances don't cost the public phone voter. Just be aware of this possibility and hold on to your wallet. Don't get fooled again.

I hope they don't have a phone poll for who do you want to vote back in. That will take the cake.

It does look pretty desperate but Simon said it himself - last weeks show was very boring. This week it was full or energy and exciting.

I know people on the forum get quite into it - but for most people its just something to watch for fun on a Saturday night and this made it a bit more exciting.

Hmm .... but the implication is we're all 'falling for' something, when, if truth be told, most of us are just 'enjoying the ride'.

Nighty night everyone .
