It is the same on all programmes.
Big Brother if a contestant has a go at someone the public vote them off.

Strickly Come dancing if a judge especially Craig has a go at someone the public vote to keep them in like John.

X factor Louis has a go at someone the public vote to keep them in.

The British public see this as a form of bullying and don't like it.

But this week they were quite nice to John and the public still kept him in!

Do you think that one week of nice is going to change peoples' opinions now? It's a bit late for that.

Exactly!

John IS the story of SCD this year. Too late to start back-tracking now. Damage already done.

Most probably strategic and it's backfired on them!

This is so Big Brother sytle when people say Charley was BB8 and Mario was BB9 for example.

The fact is the show is bigger then any contestant including John. If he goes next week then nobody will bat an eyelid over John in 4 weeks time.

it back fires on them ,each series.....

The judges won't learn because they are very very self important and very very stupid.

They only believe that the GBP should listen to them but they do not believe that they should listen to anybody else.
