Is this proof The X Factor really is a fix?

This series of The X Factor has been plagued with rumours the show is fixed.

Usually these rumours are centred around the one and only, Honey G – particularly when it emerged she'd agreed to an appearance at Kittys & Kandy nightclub on the night of The X Factor final.

Kittys & Kandy sounds fun, we're already planning our outfits.

Last night on the results show however, it wasn't Honey G who sparked talk of a fix – although she has divided the country and caused a bit of a stir on Twitter after making it through to week four.

Even some celebs got involved.

This weeks fixing claims, however, stem from something different.

Fans were angered when the jukebox, which is supposed to choose the theme for the following week's show at random, landed on the "Fright Night" theme. At random. Supposedly.

Unless you've been living under a rock, without access to a TV, phone, or a little something called THE INTERNET, you'll know that next week is Halloween.

What a coincidence then, the the juke box that chooses the X Factor song themes for the week ahead chose a very suitable them for Halloweeen. At random.

Dermot O'Leary, who spun the wheel to get the RANDOM jukebox going, stated: "Let me assure you, it's 100% bona fide".

While the judges seemed completely surprised by this random, but oh so apt, selection of theme.

Twitter wasn't impressed.

One viewer wrote: " Before it even started I said the juke box would say fright night next week, obvs for Halloween, surprise surprise I was right #fix #xfactor".

Others mocked the judges' reactions.

Last night's results show also got peoples tongues wagging over some RUDE language.

When Dermot announced the Sam Lavery was through to next week's show, her fellow contestant and another of Simon's girls, Gifty Louise, was heard screaming "I f*cking told you."

After a short whole Dermot apologized for Gifty's language and told the audience and viewers: "You may have heard some inappropriate language, but as you can imagine emotions are high."

That they are Dermot, that they are.

But at least we've learned one good thing this weekend. Turns out 50 Cent is actually a bit of a Honey G fan. YAY!
