This Saturday’s X Factor sees the the first show this series where the judges have lost the power to decide which of the bottom two acts leave the show. With only four acts now remaining, Ben, Leona, Ray and The MacDonalds, it will be up to the amount of viewers votes as to which act gets sent home.
In other words, the act with the lowest number of votes will be automatically sent home and the judges DO NOT get a say. The only slight power that they do have is to try and influence who viewers vote for by their judges comments.

im glad it is like that. because it is how it should be. that way people cant say things like “oh louis only voted such a person out to get back at simon cowell” im backing macdonald brothers all the way!
