Not really. Darren and Matt D both went out first (and Julian I think) and they kinda sucked.
I think the real advantage is that some people get the number wrong... They want to vote for couples 11 to 16, but they chuck an extra zero in before the last two digits and end up voting for couple 01. I remember there was a thread about it in series four or five- one person was convinced the vote was rigged until it emerged she was dialling the wrong number!
