Another ITV Scam?

[lilsecret]

The public have already voted for the next person to leave the jungle. Yet the producers ask them to vote AGAIN. What a con!

i dont watch any of these shows this xfacto brits gt talent , the dancing 1.
is it that the tv producers just cant fill the day with tv programmes that arent watching ppl sitting in a house for however many weeks, eating spiders in ajungle or seein probs with ppl on jeremy kyle and other chat shows. im so glad i work all day as i miss this rubbish and glad i have the net so i dont have to be bored to watch these sort of things!!!

It may be a con, but plenty of mugs will pay to vote again, so who can blame the producers for doubling their money. A fool and his money are soon parted.

who's going?

Only a fool would phone these numbers.

Not sure why this particular occasion is singled out as a con. The whole concept of telephone voting for reality TV is completely ridiculous, and as far as I am concerned it is a tax on stupidity. Long may it continue because as long as the great unwashed are moronic enough to spend good money on this pointless activity, the more they subsidise the lifestyles of those of us with enough sense to avoid it like the plague. Carry on voting ,suckers - we are relying on you.

BenDToy - dead right. My sentiments exactly. Incidentally I was not singling out this programme; you will see my post title began with the word Another.

those votres will be added on they did explain all lastnight

I stopped voting on these shows a while ago. What I do now is put the money into a jar and buy something at the end of the year. Last year I bought an xbox game for my nephew. It's (un)surprising how the call charges mount up for xfactor, jungles, big brothers etc.

[I.Don No]

of course it's a con, so don't vote....just keep watching the programme to see how the producers have to deal with the every decreasing (cos they walked) campmates....I hesistate to call them celebrities cos they aint. the programme should be re-named 'i'm not a celebrity, what am I doing here?' but then, of course, we all know the answer to that!!

George Hamilton not a Celebrity?What colour is the sky on your planet,i.don.no?

I remember George Hamilton on The Andy Williams Show in the 1970s, he wasn't a star over here back then but he was really really good looking. My Mum always used to ask why he never sang Canadian Pacific lol

[sue11]

I too am old enough (just!) to remember George when he was young and gorgeous! Actually he has not aged too badly for an older man, still kept all his hair and that cheeky smile!
I agree that voting is a con, I watch the programmes but never vote unless I get very caught up in the excitment of someone who may have a chance of winning/being made to do a task etc. Shows like these are heavily edited anyway so you never know what is really going on, but just what they decide to show you in the order that makes it more exciting.
Re the shows with judging. It annoys me when judges on these shows complain about who the public voters put through as per the X Factor, considering it is the mostly publics money that pays for these shows in the first place!! If the judges do not like the public choice, then don't have a voting show.
My rant over, I still enjoy the reality shows though as they provide reasonable entertainment!
