You seem to be bitching about my posts. So that's alright then is it?
I didn't say there was anything wrong with the local retirement home residents voting for Pam, I merely quoted what was written in the local paper.
I want there to be as many votes as poss for all the finalists as it means more money to the charities.
I hope Pammy wins by a mile.

I commented on two of your posts. And I'm sorry if I misunderstood your post about the local retirement home residents voting for Pam. To me it looked like you were bitching about Pamela. If I misunderstood then I'm sorry.

That was my point! People of all ages, all sexes, all demographics like different finalists for different reasons. Some 19 year olds might vote for Pamela, some 80 year olds might vote for Kara, it's not as simple as being the same age as the contestant, so I don't understand why they place Pamela articles with Classic FM and Kara articles with the Sun.

I don't think the money goes to charity anymore, it used to go to Children in Need but now the BBC charges the amount it costs to process the call. That's what I thought, anyway, money hasn't gone to charity for years.

True, the money from the phone votes doesn't go to Children in Need anymore.

No problem, I'm sorry if I offended you.
Anyway it's all about opinions.
I hope you have an enjoyable evening watching a memorable final .
Cheers.

No he hasn't been on the live show every week! He was in the US working for a big chunk of time in the middle of the series

I would prefer Pamela and James to win with Kara and Artem coming second, however, I will be happy to congratulate whoever wins without demonising the other two.”

I so agree with this post. The attacks on Pamela are boring now. I like Kara too; Matt a little less, but he's also talented. But the endless bleating of some of their so-called supporters is beyond tedious.

Obviously the winner can't be a fix as it's purely down to public voting. Pamela's over-marking by the judges has irritated me so I want Kara to win, Matt second and Pamela third.

I'm afraid this is nonsense - the only manipulation the BBC is interested in is in getting people to watch the show to boost the ratings. End of.

The media do what the media do - publish stories that they think will interest people into buying their publication. It can backfire. Widdy assesses the finalists in today's Times and said this about Pamela:

Quote:
“"Is Pamela in with a chance? Well obviously she's had a perfect score of 40 so she must be somewhere along the line. I haven't had that much to do with Pamela because her conversations ... are the sort that I don't join in. You know very well what I'm referring to! What is her occupation? It's sex therapy. (Ann spits out those last two words in lowered tones.)”

Almost makes me want to vote for Pamela!

That's about the only statement from Widdy I've ever agreed with. Is it too late for vote for her?

It was published yesterday, sorry if I didn't make that clear. The OP was complaining about the amount of press Pamela has had this week, I was merely pointing out that it's a fallacious argument as all the finalists have had extensive press coverage, and it matters little anyway.

Pamela thoroughly deserves to win the glitter ball, but the judges are trying to fix it for Kara to win.

So their gushing over Pamela is a double bluff then? Don't see the fix for Kara?

yeah where's this so called 'fix' for kara. what nonsense!
the bias is with pamela for sure. overmarked from the very beginning of the series. she's good and has been good this evening but still overmarked. craig not giving a 10 for kara on her first dance because of a supposed illegal lift is pathetic. she's clearly in a different league to pamela. wakey wakey people...

The judges have no power, so they can't fix it for anyone.

If anything, they've helped Matt by giving him such low scores in comparison to the girls.

Yes its full of Hamela manipulation, unfortunately But thats the way these shows go, despite the most talented people not getting as much publicity or manipulation

Why have the Judges favoured Pamela with the perfect 10's?

What do you think ?

Don't forget the money from the calls goes to charity so get those digits at the ready.”

Does it? Haven't heard charities mentioned at all this series.

No money has gone to charity since 2005, it all goes to the 'phone company. This has already been covered in loads of other threads on DS....
