Firstly, I would like to bring your attention to the apparent change in Lucie's whole demeanor. She is confident, funny, honest and bolshy. My own personal opinions on what she has to say I will leave out for the time being. Whilst exploring in more depth the footage that we are shown and in what light the contestants are portrayed during the show i began to consider the idea that we are not getting a true representation of the personalities of these young people.
Lucie Jones has been portrayed by the producers of the programme to be quiet, shy and girly with a slight incompetance to hold an adult conversation. Now that she has left the competition and is released from under the thumb on Simon Cowell she appears to have a change in personality. Most likely her natural personality that had been stunted for the duration of her time on the show.
If you look at her fellow contestent in the girls category, Stacey 'there's always Asda' Solomon; her and Lucie are polar opposites (or according to how the producers would like us to perceive them).
Rachel Adedeji was recently booted out of the competition and accused of being 'boring', possibly because she did not receive nearly as much airtime as many of the other contestents. Rachel is said to think viewers were being asked to put themselves in the camp of one or the other girl (referring to Lucie or Stacey) Rachel said: 'At the beginning, I don't think viewers knew who I was. They knew I was this girl who liked to sing and that's all.'
Are we, as the public, being decieved into favouring a particular contestent.
I am by no means suggesting the X Factor is 'fixed', as is persistently claimed every year, I am merely investigatating the possibilities. Whether or not the winner of the show had been chosen before anyone ever appeared on our screens is for you to decide for yourselves.
(There will be a follow on from this post, involving many of the other contestents and exploring the ways in which we may not being seeing them in their true light)
