Go to skynews website and look for tommrrows papers and they have front cover news stating that Dermot said it was rigged, well if it is rigged well OFCOM should step in and shut the show down

He wouldn't say such a thing until he left the show.
^That
and even if they did Dermot wouldn't be stupid enough to talk about it
(someone confirm to me that you could sense the sarcasm dripping through this)
Yea.
BTW, Dermot, if your reading this, Simon said hand in your P45, lol
This exactly. Dermot would have to have a career suicide wish to talk about any rigging.
I don't think Cheryl was in on the fix
They know by her personality she'd refuse to vote, and that Danni would give the only sensible vote.
So Simon and Louis would have already discussed it between them who to vote for. Louis had always supported Treyc, so it didnt make sense, and he had no reason for his choice
I actually think its a good thing for Treyc, as she gets more awareness, and Im sure when the votes are revealed after the final and Treyc had more votes, it'll be back in the papers and they'll wanna hear how she feels.
Also, I think she's out of contract now as she's not goin in tour
yep, you were successful on the sarcasm front there....:D
they couldn't send it to deadlock for obvious reasons and if Cheryl had been left vote last the only way she could have been 'loyal to both acts' would have been to send it to deadlock- it's not rocket science- anyone watching it could tell that
Seriously doubt Dermot said that though whatever they wrote in the Sun- and Simon couldn't care less- all he wants is headlines- everyone will tune in again next week- more people even:)
Is that sarcastic?:rolleyes:
It doesn't say anywhere on the show that the judges don't confer or have had meetings with producers about who goes or stays depending on whatever outcome or that they have to be asked by Dermot in any particular order. It's not a secret ballot.
Obviously the show doesn't lie about the public vote and who is in the bottom 2, after that the format of this show is they decide - not you. That's the point of it.
If they rigged it and got caught it would cripple them.
My thoughts exactly. Of course the producers decide which of the acts that are in the bottom 2 goes out. I don't understand why this would come as a surprise to anyone.
If there was any evidence that the wider voting was dodgy, and that they used anything other than the public vote to decide who was in the bottom 2, then that would be an issue. But if we're just talking about how they decided which of the bottom 2 went, well of course that part is "rigged". It always has been.
The Sun in fact : Daily Mail have a story on the fix as well.
They rig it.....all....the...time....
...and if they get caught it would cripple them.
But they won't.
Right calm down, put your crystal ball away.
Really, they wouldn't be stupid enough to rig the votes, maybe the judges vote, but not the phone votes.
Just because it doesn't break any OFCOM rules- (partly because the producers appear to be making the rules up as they go along:D) -doesn't mean the elimination isn't rigged or fixed
People are paying money to vote for their favourite contestant- when the judges repeatedly save somebody who's been in the bottom two three times, can't remember her words, is demonstrably a worse singer than the other contestant (Simon's own words), and lets face is in last place in the voting more than once- they are directly ignoring the viewing public and rigging the result to suit themselves-
maybe not in any legal sense but certainly in the court of public opinion- Simon couldn't give a f**k and to be honest- I'll still be watching next saturday- but let's not pretend certain eliminations aren't fixed- it's the whole point of the judges' vote:)
It's not the phone votes that are rigged, they would be stupid to try that.
The rest of the show is pure manipulation though, down to editing, song choice, comments, make-overs and the judge's decisions (without them apparently knowing who's bottom) .
Bit early to be drinking?
