I never vote until the final of anything reality (and usually not even then except for Strictly).
To be honest boosting the SyCo profits isn't what puts me off, it's multiple votes that does. If everyone had one vote only I might vote, but when how much your opinion "counts" depends on how much spare cash you've got, I refuse to be part of it.
I normally give the equivalent to the destitute on the street, as sooner or later one of them will be, by the law of averages, an ex-X Factor contestant...
I voted for Rebecca once. I am old enough to know better than to feed Cowell's money making machine, but in my defence, Rebecca is an amazing singer and I was VERY drunk!!
I voted every week for shane ward
and amazingly (as he never votes (to quote) on my crap tv watching) hubbie spent a small fortune on leona lewis
but to be honest unless its matt or mary in the last few weeks i won't bother
Yes. But not always for the same act each week.
It depends on the night's performance and the judges comments don't sway me.
Sometimes I vote for four different acts or more if I liked their performances.
I don't vote until we are left with one act I really like. At the moment I not too bothered who goes out but I have around 4 or 5 I would like kept in.
I stopped voting when Simon bottled making a proper decsion and went to deadlock with Jedward and Lucie. Depending on how that pans out this time I may vote again. It would only be to keep Matt,Aiden or Mary in. I don't know if I want them to win. However, if Mary was still in the final and for some unfathomable reason. Matt and Aiden were both out, I may vote for Mary to win as I think she propbably needs a win more than the others but I couldn't effectively vote against Matt and Aiden
A few votes here and there to say thanks to the X Factor for providing so much entertainment is more than worth it imo still very cheap entertainment and it helps keep the show alive.
I occasionally vote, did last week for Aiden and Wagner
I voted 3 times in week one - for Matt, Aiden, Belle Amie
I didn't vote in week 2
I voted once in week 3 - for Paije
I have my favourites but am going to limit myself to one vote a week - for who out of my favourites (Matt, Aiden, Paije, Rebecca, Treyc) I think performed the best.
