Be that she's Spanish, weird thing to say but in American Idol this year Carly Smitson who was Irish and Michael Johns were Australian went out in shock exists and it maybe cause they didn't have their hometowns voting for them and could Ruth have that problem I wonder

I personally think that's Ruth's USP. She is a fantastic singer but is being overshadowed by Diana, Laura, Alex and Rachel. Now she has the tag of 'the hot Spanish woman' and she has been our first on the X Factor. If anything - it's helping her!

in michael jackson week she wore a big baggy top that couldn't have covered more!

i think she looks great in those long flowing dresses and there's nothing wrong with a bit of cleavage! if women with big boobs wear high necked things it can make them look a funy shape...maybe she's just dressing for her shape?

How did this turn into a thread about Ruth's looks, this is about being disadvantaged from not having the hometown vote

I don't think there is a home town vote tbh, I think its just something spun by the show to create effect.

Why isn't Scott still in then? He should have had one of the largest cities in the country behind him.

Because he was crap, but if your decent like the rest of them are, you will get a hometown vote

It could work to her advantage, but perhaps they would prefer someone who is homegrown to win. Then again it really depends on the fan bases, unless of course they rig it anyway.

I agree. If she wasn't Spanish, I don't believe she would be there now.

My explanation is more that Michael was popular but the second favourite to many, and people vote either for their favourite or to save someone.
I think that it is a similar situation for Ruth, and I hope that her visit to the bottom three is an incentive for people to vote for her.

I believe Ruth's Purple Rain performance and sexiness have gained her a lot more votes I agree what someone else here said, because of her Spanish charm she's got as far as she has.

btw, Ruths downfall would be to actually win this stupid contest. A far better result would be for her to be picked up by a label without winning thus giving her a singing career with a bit of potential, freedom and longevity. Try and remember there has only been ONE success story from the X-Factor...

MJ's exit was more down to the fact that Cook was seen as in danger, MJ safe, so votes poured in for David, and MJ got lost in the mix. They had a very similar fan base, with many voting for both, but a lot of the usual 'split' votes all went to David that night.
