I think Simon just slammed Nicole and HIMSELF. He is guilty of the same thing just 3 weeks ago. Marcus VS Leroy...top 9 eliminations. It was 2 : 1 for Marcus to be sent home after 3 judges had voted. He said that he was gonna push it to deadlock even though he felt that Leroy performed better in the survival song. What's the point of having the bottom 2 go through the agony of singing a survival song then? The current format is flawed. If Simon can "screw" up...so can any of the other 3 judges.

@ChavaAyanna It isn't just Nicole. L.A. is bias and Paula usually does what Nicole says

[CynthiaftMJ]

oh ok I would want to see how will everybody reacts if Nicole had sent Marcus home... people would send her hate anyway saying Marcus is better than Rachel and shit they just try to find an excuse to say bad thing about her..

SIMON YOU BETTER KEEP NICOLE AS A JUDGE IF NOT I WILL NOT SEE THAT 2 SEASON OK? BYE

Guys, the point about what he is just is that no the process isnt flawed, the way the judges are working is. yes, he himself did that with leroy, but that was his mistake. Nicole fked up with rachel, yes. but that wasnt BECAUSE of the process. the process is perfectly fine. if the judges vote for who they truley know was baetter, then there would be no problem. the only problem that could ever occur is if two great singers were in the bottm and got 2:2 because they were both equaly amazing.

@xedMCRmy It is probably not the majorities' choice that he is better, he simply got a majority vote over Rachel, just like how she had a majority vote over Marcus two weeks before.

[jerryingmaster]

@GoddessRenata You have to realize voters may screw up sometimes. But with Nicole sending it to deadlock, it is making a decision to say she preferred Marcus over Rachel, and we are quite sure that's not the case. She just don't want to do be the bad guy, and turned out to be way worse than being the "bad guy".

[jerryingmaster]

@chubbybeng I thought Simon made the right decision. I think it's not just the sing-off, but also who is better overall. Marcus clearly has a better shot than Leroy, so he deserved at least a deadlock then.

But when it is a case where Rachel has been consistently better than Marcus, has more potential, AND sing better in the sing-off it should be quite clear cut. After all, the purpose of having judges' vote is to avoid having a strong performer ended up at the bottom and got sent home.

@chubbybeng Preach! I agree exactly with what you just said.

[jkmastery]

They shud ask the judges write down their votes and reveal them together. This way they judge based on the performances and not 'i wan put to deadlock'

[dreamscancomtru]

A few times in the uk version judges have taken ottoman deadlock especially if it's there contestants in the bottom two like Paula when stereohoggz and lakoda whatever where in the bottom two.
