X Factor: Jedward, John & Edward, Are Voted Out, But Then
X FACTOR: Jedward are out. John & Edward Grimes are gone. They are voted off. They are toast. Surely. Only…
The two in the sing off are Lucie Jones, representing Wales, and John & Edward Grimes, representing a small factory in suburban Nanjing, China.
Can Jedward survive? No. They can’t. They return to Mr Clon. E’s Jelly Mould & Couplings factory to be realigned and turned into something that can hang from your car’s rear view mirror.
Lucie sings on… But nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Simon Cowell saves them by undoing all his guff about it being a singing show and how crap Jedward are by keeping them in.
He has no idea how the public voted. Yeah really. And the Pope has no ideas he has a balcony. It’s all teary and huggy and hideous at Simon Cowell’s pop factory.
