What's in it for you?

I watch the programme but have NEVER voted and will never vote. Unless you're related or have some connection to the act, I don't understand why people would spend their money on voting for any acts. To those who vote, don't you feel manipulated?

People are stupid, that's why formats like this exist... you can guarantee that the mob will take it all personally, and then dial like mad to 'make their point'.

I never vote in these contests, or BB or anything similar.

I put one vote in for my favourite act - 2 if I feel really strongly about them which is what I did with the Bruce Sistaz.

Why did I do it? - Because I wanted to see them again on Saturday.

Everyone should vote if they want - not just go along with what seems to be the popular opinion of the day.

If the act I voted for actually got through on merit then perhaps I might vote. While second place is in the hands of the judges then it's simply a waste of time. They have too much control to make it worthy.

I spent a lot of money on Les Gibson and loads are moaning that those creepy bell ringers didn't get through. Well tough if you don't vote then your favourite will leave only yourselves to blame.

Haven't voted at all this year. I voted for my favourite act the Arrangement last year once just for the fun of it

I don't. Same goes for XF.

It's pointless voting.
