After a week of pumping up X Factor fans with the knowledge of a double, double elimination, Cowell and his cronies at X Factor decide this isn't a good idea. Why? To give the contestants more time to display their talents.
Loosely translated as 'We just wanted the publicity.'
So, in a non-quadruple elimination weekend, who got the chop?
The George Michael tribute weekend saw Jack and Joel eliminated on Saturday night after performing their version of 'The Edge of Heaven.' Once again Kevin Davy White took the public vote to be entered in to the 'money can't buy' prize vote after his emotional rendition of the iconic 'Fast Love.'
On Sunday night Sam Black and Alisah Bonaobra stood side by side wondering which one would be leaving the stage, never to return. Sam made a poor attempt of taking on 'I'm your Man' while Alisah smashed 'Praying For Time.' Alisah was eliminated which just goes to prove this competition really isn't about what you sound like.
Despite Simon Cowell bulling up Rai-Elle Williams it was Lloyd Macey who won the hearts of the voting public with his mesmerising version of 'A Different Corner.'
The once in a lifetime prize this week? To open for Little Mix at a forthcoming concert. Now we see why Cowell was pushing for Rai-Elle, neither Lloyd's West End vocals nor Kevin's gravelly grown up sound would be matched with the kiddie pop group Little Mix.
The public decided Lloyd Macey will be heading to Manchester this month to support Little Mix.
Despite all the twists and turns of a so called new format, the X Factor continues to loose viewers. Cowell has confirmed he is working on another music show for ITV so could this be the death of X Factor. We know ITV and X Factor signed a 3 year contract in 2016 meaning next year, 2019 could be the last.
