What A Crock!
Who saw saturdays show? Did you see Mrs O finally "OUT" the whole crooked thing
- "you'll understand at the end why i'm voting this way" then boots out Beverley instead of Hope
- Unbelievable.
I'm not even a Beverley fan, but that was just plain blatant.
Well good on you Mrs O - maybe you have already packed your bags and are shaking the whole scam up whilst you are still there - but at least you said it.
All the recent telephone voting scandals made them and others pull their text-voting
- but its still all there behind the scenes!!
Well - here I WANT TO FIGHT BACK!
Please join my campaign against The GREAT X FACTOR SCAM!
Mrs O has led the way, we all need to follow
- vote here to give your opinion
"I have a dream" - that so many of us will show here that we are not a bunch of mugs and that we deserve to be treated fairly, that X Factor has to change its ways.
I know, a Big Dream - but thats what all the worthwhile dreams are!.
"Keepin the X Factor Real"

I don't quite understand what the problem is, she just let the public decide instead of her. What's the problem?
Both seasons of Pop Idol did it this way anyway. If you ask me, by letting the judeges decide who goes home is fixing it more, Beverly received the least amount of votes, and went home, how is this a fix?? |

I agree with your principle, but...
Why did she say what she said, how she said it?

After the rubbish that went on on Staurday night, how on eart did hope stay in over Beverley?????? I think Sharon wants to audience to know it's a fix why else say what she said!!!!! It's a real shame because I actually feel like not bothering with it any more I really feel like they are taking the Mick our of the viewers now!!!!!! Come on Cowell - if your gonna take our money at least learn to play the game better!!!!!!! |

Seems the public are following suit - the guardian.
ITV1's reality talent show The X Factor has been hit by the fallout from the Deloitte report, with around 50% fewer eviction votes being cast at times during this series.
MediaGuardian.co.uk has learned that following the premium-rate phone scandals, changes to the way viewers can vote - combined with negative publicity - have dented voting levels.
In addition, sources claimed that as rumours continue to circulate about problems with other shows, ITV is scrutinising The X Factor and may consider launching a new inquiry or making more details of the Deloitte report's findings available.
Last month the ITV director of television, Simon Shaps, said voting levels were "still pretty healthy" for The X Factor and current hit I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, despite the Deloitte report into ITV's use of premium-rate lines over two years, which has sparked an Ofcom inquiry and will be examined by the Serious Fraud Office.
Although ratings for The X Factor are up compared with last year, insiders claimed that at some points during this series voting has fallen by around half.
Ratings for The X Factor, overall year on year, are up from 7.5 million viewers and a 35.6% share in 2006 to 8 million and 37.1% share for the current series so far.
One source said: "We've been told that voting for The X Factor has been down around 50% on last year."
In a bid to restore viewers' trust, ITV has removed text and red button voting from shows such as The X Factor.
This, combined with a decline in the public's trust in participation programmes following the premium-rate phone-in scandals, is understood to have led to the fall.
It suggests that while the popularity of the programmes and key presenters, such as Antony McPartlin, Declan Donnelly and Simon Cowell, have not been damaged, viewers' willingness to pay to take part in eviction votes has been dented.
ITV has refused to publish the full Deloitte report into its participation TV problems.
The issue has been further clouded after its investigators, Deloitte, had to rely on producers coming forward to admit their misdemeanours.
However, the sheer scale of the problems they did uncover on top shows such as Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway suggest that more details will continue to leak out for some time yet.
ITV has been hoping to draw a line under the issue with payouts of £7.8m to callers who were deceived.
But with Ofcom's judgment to come and questions remaining about which ITV executives were given bonuses linked to telephony revenue, the issue is likely to rumble on for some time.
An ITV spokesman said: "As we said when we launched the Deloitte report, we're looking into a number of issues raised by it but we're not going to speculate on individual shows."
