Louis Walsh is pulling his support for John and Edward Grimes and on two separate occasions, has said that the boys are running out of time.

Last night Louis told Paul O’Grady that he’d be happy if the boys lasted two more weeks and speaking to Sky News today he said:

“This is it now, we are running out of time, it would be great if we could just make it through one more week,” Walsh said.

“The boys have been home to Ireland to visit their family but the sad thing is that Ireland can’t vote for them. Those votes would have been crucial.”

So our question is, does Louis really think the boys can’t win, or has Cowell ordered a PR assault on the boys? After all by the time X Factor gets to its final two shows, they don’t need the Jeward generated publicity anymore do they?
