Oh I see. It's like when James Arthur was in the bottom 2 during the 2012 X Factor then recovered to eventually win the competition.

 

Yeah that's probably the biggest rebound we've seen! Looking back at the following series (Sam Bailey's year), there's some clear rebounds shown - Hannah Barrett was bottom 2 in weeks 3, 5 and 7 but came third in the vote in weeks 4 and 6, and a few more you can see here!

Yeah that's the ultimate rebound vote! I think he had a fire from being bottom 2 like I said, looking now at the songs he performed he really hit his stride after that with SOS, Let's Get It On and The Power Of Love, so bottom 2 isn't always a bad thing. That bottom 2 was though, I could not believe that Jahmene, Rylan, Union J and bloody Christopher all got more votes than the two most talented acts of the season :drama:

 

There was also Rachel Adedeji in 2009, she topped the vote with Proud Mary after being bottom 2 twice which was quite odd but it was a great performance - she just went on to be eliminated the next week! Katie Waissel did similar, 2nd when she performed Help after three consecutive bottom sing-offs :lol:

Rebound vote is not that evident since 2013, also can't forget Queen of Rebound - Miss Misha B.
