Ah, here we go again.
It just wouldn’t be X-Factor final weekend without a few folk claiming there’s some kind of set-up to help one of the acts win, would it?
This year is no different, with some viewers on Saturday night suggesting that the the show was ‘fixed’, and that boyband Rak-Su were set to be confirmed this year’s winners on Sunday.
Rak-Su performed with Naughty Boy and Wyclef Jean on Saturday night, while fellow finalists Grace Davies and Kevin Davy White performing with Paloma Faith and Tokio Myers respectively.
By the end of the evening, it was decided that Kevin would not progress to Sunday, much to the disappointment of many viewers. Some of them went as far as suggesting that the fact Kevin performed with Myers – who they deemed a less well-known artist – had worked against him.
As well as this, others said that the show was fixed so that Rak-Su would be crowned winners, with some pointing to the fact they were allowed to perform with two artists.

Not being funny or anything but @KevinDavyWhite was 1000000000 times better than Rak-su…. his voice is 100000000 times better than there’s. But hey. They had won it from the beginning of the live shows 🍻 #XFactorFinal #Fixed

Feels like a bit of a joke how fixed @TheXFactor is now? Rak-Su had a huge stage performance with dancers ect, Grace had Paloma Faith and then Kevin (although he did amazing) it didn’t seem like the same effort was given to him🤷🏼♀️
