The Daily Mash's take on this
> The crowning of a quality X Factor winner may be sabotaged
> by viewers, as millions continue to vote for Wagner
> Carrilho simply to vex Simon Cowell.
>
> The X Factor joke has been tipped by bookmakers to make it
> through to the very end of the contest.
>
> Week after week, the public have voted to keep the
> Brazilian singer in the ITV reality show - against the
> judges' wishes.
>
> According to internet leaks Wagner is regularly in the top
> half of the results, despite most of us admitting he's
> tone deaf.
>
> Fans are determined to keep him on the show to annoy Simon
> and for many it seems he's the perfect antidote to the

> Wagner recently won over more fans by criticising the

> A Facebook group urging the public to vote for him has

> Meanwhile, the website votefortheworst.com has also been

> The same effect has been happening over on Strictly Come
