Jamie Archer’s Exit Was A Set Up

The X Factor can rarely get through a series without rumours of a voting fix surfacing, and now it looks as thought 2009’s fix-ation has reared its ugly head as friends of axed contestant Jamie "Afro" Archer are claiming that Simon Cowell "offered him up" to leave, and that the whole thing was a set-up. Ouch!
Jamie (who was my favourite) left the show on Sunday after he and Lloyd Daniels found themselves in the ‘sing-off’ and Dannii took the judges to ‘deadlock’ which meant the act with the fewest votes left the show.
However, Jamie’s friends are clearly miffed that their friend is out of the show, and have ranted to Heatworld; "It doesn't take a genius to see how he [Simon] did it, he stuck him first on the bill which is the worst place to be. He made sure he dressed him in dark clothing so it all looked very drab. And he gave him a very average Queen song in Radio GaGa and left him there on stage on his own."
Erm, not quite sure that’s enough evidence there love, even if I DO wish Jamie was back in the show… but what do YOU think, was Jamie set up?
