14,000 people may have now signed that online petition objecting to the voting off, by the judging panel, of second-favourite-to-win Laura White on 'X Factor' last weekend, but Louis Walsh says he doesn't regret picking Ruth Lorenzo over White.
He told The Sun: "Laura was in the bottom two. Her performance was bad and her styling was even worse. She didn't get the public support. [Anyway], no one in the bottom two ever [goes on to] win the 'X Factor', that's just a fact. Laura was never going to win".
Of course if no one in the bottom two ever goes on to win anyway, it kind of defeats the point of everyone getting all excited over who the judges vote off, because clearly it doesn't matter. With that in mind they should have an arm wrestle to decide who stays instead, that'd be better telly.
