X Factor: Cheryl Cole And Dermot O’Leary Fixed It For Phone Vote Loser Katie Waissel
WANT to know why Cheryl Cole really failed to judge in her role as a judge on the X Factor? The Mail will tell you why she failed to choose between Katie Waissel(friend to BMG and Dermot O’Leary’s producer) and TreyC Cohen?
Dermot O’Leary says it was all planned. Yep, the TV show is scripted to produce drama, comedy, winners, losers and a soap opera-style narrative. It’s not a music talent show after all; it’s a manipulative form of TV theatre wherein the budget is lavished on the judges and the so-called stars are mere extras to be ritually abused and spat out as the script demands.

Says O’Leary:
“We decided if wasn’t going to vote, we would go to the majority verdict.”
The Mail says the “dramatic stand-off” between him and Cole was “agreed in advance”.
In other words this comment from Cole was bunkum designed to make her look principled so that the slack-jawed masses who spend their cash to vote for their pet star are not cheated:
“I’m refusing point blank, ask these two [Danni and Louis] and I’ll take it to deadlock.”
And had it gone to deadlock? Well, TreyC scooped three times as many votes as Waissel, who would have gone home.
So, it’s a fix to make her star? Maybe. But it is certainly a fix to get us talking about the show and Katie Waissel, who is elevated from average singer to famous TV star…
