Flaw in your logic?
Chris must be loved by the public otherwise he wouldn't of been voted in as a wild card and still in the show.
His granma can't dial that quickly
Anyone who thinks that Chris is genuinely loved by anyone other than scousers and old ladies is kidding themselves, that's who is voting for him in great numbers. He is a cringeworthy character, with zero star quality, not even a hint of charisma... and the media, all celebs, critics, and majority of non-voting public know this. Yes, he is getting a lot of votes, but I think a lot are fuelled by wanting to discredit the Xfactor, and as sympathy for the harsh treatment he got. Most people simply have an opinion and do not vote.
You're making yourself look daft now.
If Cowell loves money so much that he wants a certain act to win then Pudsey would not have been his choice HOWEVER it makes no difference to Cowell because he still has a piece of all the artists.
I forgot about the biggest loser - Susan Boyle, I bet he was crying his eyes out when she lost - not.
Also if the rumours are true Maloney has got a bigger fan base than any of the other contestants so money grabbing Cowell will be rubbing his hands.
With all due respect Dim, i'm not making myself look daft, though bless your heart I know you try hard.
The point is not just all the money that he can make, but the reputation of the show. The damage cringeworthy Chris will do to Xfactor as a show will be the first and foremost thing on Cowells mind. There is nothing remotely inspiring or uplifting about Chris, nothing to like or love that either Cowell or the media can get behind an dpush, and that is the point.
