Double elimination announced AFTER lines open
I think that could be unfair for people who voted for the eventual second last placed act up until that announcement.

The producers must have have been worried about Wagner getting a good early voting start so decided to change it at the last minute.

How would announcing the double elimination just before the lines opened have affected your votes, to announcing it about 40 minutes after lines open?

Imagine you voted for Cher 20 minutes after the lines opened then 20 minutes later you hear it's a double elimination and next night Cher got voted out through Judges/Deadlock. You then feel totally cheated.

If you're going to vote for Cher, you're voting for Cher (or whoever else you might like). Why does it make a difference if it's a single or double elimination?

Still don't understand yout logic OP.
How would your vote have chaged if you knew it was a double from the start? |

I have by the way, but only to ask if this is breaching the guidelines.
I think you'll find the posts are moved every week (you seem to like football analogies).

OFGS I'm fed up with all the conspiracy theories. It's been in the Ents.news all week about a double elimination.

What I'm saying is that viewers who voted straight away might have thought it was a single elimination.

They must have known beforehand that it was a double eviction as it's been all over the press for at least the last two days since I read it.

It would matter if only was announced AFTER the lines close. then it could be a case of if I knew I would have voted twice or x amount of times. As it stands, they may have just wanted to make sure that tehir chosen ones (whoever they may be ) were ahead on the votes.

It's a vote to win/save. Those who voted to see an act perform again next week would have been unlikely to have changed their mind because 2 are going this week instead of 1. |
