'Bottom two/three'

Do we believe that they are the two/three with the fewest votes, or might they be just the one with the fewest votes plus A N Other or Others? Since, unlike in The X Factor, it is the one with the fewest votes who goes out, might they be a little creative with the other member(s) of the 'bottom two/three'?

Sorry I haven't a clue what this thread is about?

The person is asking that when the bottom 3 are announced, whether that the 2 people who are not actually bottom are actually in the bottom 3 in the votes, or are they just random.

I think that the producers purpoesly put people not in the bottom 3 from the votes, into the bottom 3 on the show, so that the show doesnt become predictable.

I am suggesting that, when they announce who the bottom two (or the bottom three) are, of the people they name, one of them (the one who leaves) really is the one with the fewest votes, but the other one (or two) might not have the next fewest votes. For example, this week Chris R might have been named for dramatic purposes, or to drum up more votes next week, rather than because he had the second fewest votes.

Yes, that's exactly what I was getting at.

No, they always specify bottom three at some stage(or two) and usually if not always your, so I can't see how they would not be the lowest votes unless they are downright lying. If they were being creative it would be easy to never mention bottom three and just say you're not safe.

From memory though it does seem surprising they're doing bottom two at this stage, so I'd guess the third lowest was something the didn't want to announce for whatever reason
unless they're changing the format this season. But I stand to be corrected by those with better memories!

That's precisely what made me question whether the bottom two really were the bottom two.

The _should_ be, otherwise it's lying...

But you never know.

As for Chris R; his voice is very weak. I was not surprised to see him in the bottom 2.
