Fans of The X Factor are threatening to boycott the show following Simon Cowell's shock decision to save twins John and Edward, who he has previously described as "appalling".
The X factor judge was left with the final decision after Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue voted to keep Lucie Jones in the competition.
The 18-year-old had found herself in the bottom two alongside Louis Walsh's act, dubbed "Jedward".
"I don't know if I can watch the X Factor anymore," said another, "It is becoming a huge joke!"
Cowell recently claimed he would leave the country if John and Edward won The X Factor.
The twins appear to be loved and loathed in equal measure but have amassed a large following over the past few weeks despite heavy criticism of their singing.
Disgruntled fans have questioned whether the show can still be called a "talent competition".
"This is clearly no longer about the quality of the singing," wrote one viewer.
Another complained: "Simon said he was going to save the person who does the best in the sing-off and clearly Lucie was the better vocalist."
