How does someone go from topping the votes to being in the bottom two?
It doesn't add up.
Oh well, good luck to the rest of them.

Not fixed but definately orchastrated.
Why do they keep letting that tax-dodging muppet decide these things?

That article was made up, that's why.
The article could have been true but the public are fickle when it comes to shows like this and it's true that nobody is ever safe just because of previous results. There are many circumstances which could have contributed to the vote coming out the way it has.

Various possible reasons:
1. Short voting time.
2. We dont know how close the votes are. For all we know the votes are super close every week.
3. People prefered the others more this week.
I dont even recall us ever knowing Jenny was top of the votes, but for all we know, she was third bottom most weeks, and then topped the votes at once.
There are plenty of reasons why Jenny could have gone home tonight. It really annoys me when people scream fix when their favourite goes home. I didnt want Jenny to go tonight, but its clearly not a fix.

I had my suspicions but they must have got those percentages from somewhere, why would they risk being sued by the BBC all for the sake of an article?
When asked who last not Dorothy this week Jenny polled highest so why would it be fixed if we agree?
clearly they wanted Jenny out.. so..
part 1 of the plan "Leak to press story that she is top of the votes"
part 2 "giver her send in the clowns... she wont be able to do it"
part 3 "While the voting is on highlight her inability to bond with the dog"
DEAL DONE!

The fix is in the song choices and the comments. Everyone but Jenny and Lauren got songs with massive money moments that were well known. Jessica got something that made her look silly too. Jenny got a song with lesser money moments and played it sad presumably because someone worked out with her to sing it that way. Bigger songs with money moments beat sad and thoughtful songs. You then had Partridge who has no discernable acting ability criticising the acting. That was followed by Sheila going on about acting choices when its perfectly possible to act that song in a whole variety of ways and all of them are doing what they were told to - she keeps on imposing her view on what should be done on whoever she doesn't like and ignoring when other people give interpretations that would get them sacked in the real show.
Net result the utterly predictable happens. Judging by the songs Jessica or Steph are next on the list. Lauren in the bottom two will give him an excuse to eliminate anyone except Danielle on their vocals .

The press make things up but not with percentages. What was leaked was also consistent with the results so far. We know two of the last 6 have been in the bottom 2 once and now two have been there twice so its not incredible that at least one or both of Jenny or Jessica was doing as well as suggested. Someone leaked it. They either did it for money or for some other purpose and what they leaked was either true or not.

Glad someone else rates John Partridge about as highly as I do.
It was the bollocks with the dog that bugged me. Giving what the TDM (tax-dodging muppet) was saying Jodie Prenger would make the perfect Dorothy. Actually by that standard so would John Barrowman.
Ah well at least I'll have the chance to see Jenny before next March!

Who's the tax dodging muppet if I might ask and where will you see Jenny? I hope she gets a good job somewhere as she's a very good singer and so likeable too... it's just hard luck that she was given such a drab song, even though she sang it well!!
I've got to be honest I thought they looked quite keen to get rid of Jenny as well: [LIST][*]They actually said that the song wasn't really suitable for a young woman, which begs the question why give it to her then? [*]Showing the footage with the cute little doggie and then going on about the rapport that Dorothy has to have with the dog. The best actress in the world can fall foul of that: 'Never work with children or animals'. [*]Its the first time, this series, that ALW has not got rid of the one with the least number of votes i.e. Lauren.[*] Finally, the speed with which he said Jenny was very quick, couldn't wait to get her on the moon it seemed to me.[/LIST]
I've not been a Jenny fan, altho' she has a very nice voice and seems a lovely girl but it seemed like a stitch-up to me.

Tax-dodging muppet is Lloyd-Webber.
I think Jenny will be cast in another musical soon. I think she'll be on that west end stage before The Wizard of Oz opens next March.

If she can't sing send in the the clowns then that isn't their fault, that is her singing ability letting her down.
And inability to bond with a dog, obviously they're going to show it if she didn't do very well. It's not like they told the dog to behave that way.
It's more of sour grapes than a fix.
