X Factor final 2015: Angry fans claim Louisa Johnson's journey to victory is a FIX
I found this news story on The Sun News webpage and it describes how angry fans of the X FACTOR claim that the show has been fixed from the very start so Louisa Johnson will win.
Last night, viewers saw the 17-year-old Essex girl sail through to tonight's grand final after a stunning duet with mentor Rita Ora.
But ever since she first appeared on screen this summer, plenty of people have suspected that the odds have been tipped in her favour - and the evidence is hard to ignore.
Her appearance at the Judges' Houses stage of the contest caused controversy when viewers realised that her shoes magically changed from flats to heels as she made her way to perform for Rita and guest judge Meghan Trainor and the X Factor bosses were forced to shoot down rumours that she had been given two chances to sing her way to the live shows, and it was simply a "continuity error".
Eyebrows were also raised when it emerged that she already had a connection to Simon Cowell, after she auditioned for last year's Britain's Got Talent but was apparently sent home and told to audition for X Factor as she'd "be more suited to it".
Furthermore, despite trying to paint herself as an amateur singer, she's won big cash prizes at talent shows, shot a professional music video and was signed to a management agency all before she set foot in her initial X Factor audition.
Earlier this month, viewers claimed they saw Lauren Murray, 25, mouth "it's Louisa" when they were announcing who were safe that week - before anyone's name had been read out.

I found this story very interesting as it is based around a topic that interests me and appeals to the audience of my age as many teenagers now find themselves watching the X Factor. In addition, I also found it interesting as it relates to a topic we have been recently discussing in class, which is that "all media is constructed". Moreover, I find it very interesting how many of the reality shows are now coming out to all be planned and previously constructed showing just how much certain media platforms are lying to us just to be able to make a profit and get their publicity up.
