Favouritism claims over Hope
25 November 2007, 3:17PM
There have been reports that claim that the other X Factor finalists believe that girl group, Hope are receiving special treatment.
It is claimed that the other contestants were unhappy when Hope were given extra rehearsal time with choreographer Brian Friedman and the vocal coach.
A source told the Daily Mail newspaper: "It seemed as if their mentor Simon Cowell was pulling strings to try and keep them in. It could be that - because there are five of them - they need the extra rehearsal time. But the general feeling is that each act should be treated the same, regardless of the number of members. The 'favouritism' certainly ruffled a few feathers with the other contestants."
Last night, Beverley Trotman was voted out by public votes after the judges couldn't make a final decision leading to deadlock and Hope being saved.
The source continued: "Beverley has impressed everyone but it was still Hope who stayed. Questions will be asked. It was the opportunity to get rid of them once and for all."
