X-Factor 2010: Eliminations (Week 6)

Published: Sunday 14th Nov 2010 by Sam

The X-Factor 2010 saw its sixth set of eliminations tonight. Find out who’s heading home this week…

{For those unfamiliar with The X Factor, the show is the UK’s version of American Idol – with a twist in that groups and over 25’s are eligible to enter. Now in it’s seventh season, the show is responsible for birthing the careers of Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, and JLS. It’s US version is set to launch in 2011}.

After registering the lowest public vote of the contestants, Aiden and Katie were two acts put on the chopping block.

The weekly sing-off proceeded with Aiden taking to the stage first, with Katie following – singing Christina Aguilera’s ‘Save Me From Myself’.

In the end, it was Katie who was once again granted a pass onto next week’s show, after the judges became tied on who to save. The act’s fate was then reverted back to the public vote – which revealed Aiden to have the lowest support – ultimately sending him home.

The X Factor continues on ITV1 next Saturday.

    Katie deserved to stay as she didnt have the lowest votes but so shocked that Adien has gone.. thought it would be paige.

    OMG how the f*** could they send Aiden home! I really thought Aiden had a chance to be in the top 3-4.

    Those fuckers! And to save Katie! FUCKEN B*******! How many times have they saved her? Pathetic.

    I cant stand the x factor i swear its a fix

  4. ADE November 14, 2010

    F*** X Factor to hell. It’s a complete farce, Katie over Aiden? Dead!

    i actually fell fro my chair. simon loves publicity which katie brings, but really?
    i was so sure that she was heading home. cheryl should have done katie a favour and let her go as the longer she stays in the competition the morehate she gets.
    if she really cared for katie as a person (like she says) she would realise the best thing for her would be to leave.

    AIDEN NOOOO!!!!!
    i wanted him 2 win!!
    y does simon continue to save katie???
    how may times has she been in the bottom 2??
    bet you 10 bucks she gonna be in the same spot next week too, nd they’ll probally save her again!!

    simon cowell said that he trusts the british public to make the right decisions in voting, yet she was in the bottom two 4 times!!! he clearly doesnt listen! should be call fix factor!!!!
    we all didnt vote for aiden because it was obvious katie was going to be in the bottom two, and shes rubbish WE THOUGHT WE WERE SAFE.
    wont be wasting any money ever again, we’re the ones (the fans) losing money and they dont listen to viewers wants, whats the point in voting when its already be decided!?
    did anyone else notice that they said nothing about who sung better????? EXCUSE ME… I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SINGING CONTEST??

  8. Chuck November 14, 2010

    Katie sang better in sing off but her staying another week will boost viewership and hatred toward her.

  9. Emma November 15, 2010

    Please please don’t keep Katie in the show. I am tired of listening to her awfully poor cheap performance. This is the singing contest, not a middle school talent show. I also started thinking that perhaps public votes are also fixed by producers when Katie became the bottom.

    This is the result of a show that is flawed in it’s formula and perhaps its voting system. They need to weed out contestants from the BEGINNING who do not have the potential to make it as a 2010 musical talent. Wagner and Mary do not belong on this particular show as they are not potential popstars and everyone knows it.

    Judges categories, auditions at their houses and independent mentoring prevents potential contestants to be on the live shows, prevents contestants who made it on live shows to receive unbiased and well-rounded assistance (4 heads are better than 1). What a heartbreaker for Aiden. He was choked and I am choked for him. It’s not his fault. I don’t think I want to watch the show anymore as I hate unfairness.

    Voting system may need to be changed. I think they should have more “musician” guests to help with the screening at the beginning. And if groups like “Wagner to win” continue maybe the voting needs to be taken out of the public’s hands. I wonder what that would do to ratings. But I want to watch a real talent competition – not a gong show of contestants who don’t belong there.

    NEW RECORD OMG!
    4 WEEKS IN A ROW IN BOTTOM TWO AND KATIE IS SAVED, AGAIN?! LOL
    Funny.. really funny.

  12. za November 15, 2010

    i swear simon bourght the rights to katies record contract in canada so that she could be on the show so im sure he justs wants to get his money worth and use her for more publicity so more people watch the show. Its sad i mean she;s been in the bottom 4 times the public do not like her can they not see this
    SHUD HAVE GIVEN AIDEN ANOTHER CHANCE
    PURE STUPIDNESS, the show is def a fix

    OMFG dont get me wrong i like katie but… adien is soooo much better than her and has a unique voice, katie on the other had has a very weak voice. imo katie got more votes because all of the drama around her i mean alot of ppl hate her & other think that this is unfair so they vote for her on the other hand aiden has a low profile than katie so that’s why she got more votes

  16. ERIC November 15, 2010

    THAT B**** AGAIN ON BOARD! SHE TO THE X-FACTOR WHAT MICHAEL LYNCH WAS TO IDOL’S LAST SEASON!
    GET THAT B**** OUTTA THERE ALREADY!

  17. Leanna November 15, 2010

    Some contestants were not given an opportunity or they were cut short like Aiden. I have zero tolerance for unfairness. All the “Wagner to Win” people will have opportunities taken away from you. Its called Bad Karma. VOTE HONESTLY OR NOT AT ALL. Maybe it’s time to get rid of public voting. Would it really matter?

    The judges competition, categories, judges houses, and one-sided mentoring seriously eliminates other potential contestants. And the contestants who makes it to the live shows are not given well-rounded advice. If my future was hanging in the balance I would want to hear what all the judges have to say not just one. Song choices are so critical! I would be interested to see guest artists assist with the screening process as one poor choice comes back to bite everyone in the b***.

    I want to be entertained and watch a talent show of contestants who have REAL potential to make it in the industry. But I’m confused. Why are Mary and Wagner on this particular show? They are better suited to other shows. I thought X Factor was looking for current pop stars. The show formula needs to be adjusted to be adjusted to maintain viewer satisfaction.

    are you all f****** stupid. how is it a fix when Aiden left the show, he had the lowest number of telephone votes. the judges didn’t keep Katie the public did, so grow up

  19. True November 15, 2010

    if we the public were allowed to vote the contestant in like they did in pop idol people like katy would not get through in the first place, i think we should be allowed to vote in the contestant in the begging.
    Simon knew that katy had more votes when he voted her in his face gave him away, that’s why he took so long it was all a act, it fixed because how can you keep a act in even though they have been in the bottom two four times.

  20. mina November 15, 2010

    @Gaz maybe she had the lowest votes last week or the week before
    This was aidens first time in the bottom two so he should of been given another chance
    I believe that Katie had to many chances

  21. ChEeRfUl CyNiC XD November 15, 2010

    I can’t believe the man faced b**** is still there loooool
