If you think Cheryl has a large fan base... so does Maks. His fans could be keeping Laila ahead of the others, not just people voting for her.

These next couple of weeks will be interesting to see how fan bases hold certain people in the competition. It won't all be because of the dancing. Just like Emmitt winning last season. He wasn't the best technically. Mario was, but because of the fan vote, it was Emmitt that pulled ahead and won.

There's enough nsync fans still that if they get together and vote, Joey will stay till the finals.
