x factor votes

[cecil39]

why do the contestants get called " in no particular order " on the x factor, why not in the order of most votes down to the least votes, and why cant we be told the number of votes each one gets, it seems to me the winner can easily be got rid of if the judges dont like them or if they don't think they can make enough money out of them, if you ask me this system leaves too much chance of cheating on the part of the organisers, which is not fair for those taking part or the public that spends money on voting.

I presume they don't want to influence next weeks vote, by revealing who was most popular this week.

[andy-hughes]

I'd agree - the order of voting will have a signifcant effect on the psychology of the voting audience for next week - apart from those who voted for the Doubletake Brothers - they are exempt from any psychological profiling - along with any hope of recognising talent and ability.

andy-hughes,

Be afraid...those two are going to be on the show for some time to cone.

May God have mercy on our souls.

These answers don't ring true. If they did influence next weeks voting then the contestant selected for the final two but survived would be the one to go next.

It's also because they don't want to stop people voting, which after all is how they make the money.
If you knew that your favourite was regularly coming near the top of the vote you'd think, well Olly's safe, I won't bother phoning this week. Similarly if you knew your favourite had no chance of winning, you probably wouldn't bother either.

....by the way, does anyone know what that bizarre 'Titanic' interlude from the twins was all about? It seemed wrong on so many levels.

[Kromovaracun]

Erm, is this news?

[cecil39]

I would still rather know how many votes each contestant gets. yes kromovaracun anything current that folks talk about is news, it don't have to be war or strife, its nice to chat about silly things sometimes dont you think?
