Voting Lines Closed
Can someone please tell me if the voting lines close at the same time every single week? if so what time is that.
I have a feeling and so does my son that the lines closed at least 4 minutes before we anticipated they would, we could of course be wrong so I am hoping someone can tell me. GG |

Curious... they wouldn't just close one or two lines early, I hope! That could be pretty effective...

But I don't know what time they actually closed. Sorry, just meant to reply, not quote. |

As I say my son also said they have closed early WHY.. I just said no idea, but it is a theory on why. |

Pay attention to the show
Dermot always says "your 5 minute warning". And the lines are invariably closed right at the end of the ad break, because at the start of the next part Dermot says "Lines are now closed" ! |

so much, as I did not think he did.. sorry this makes me even more sceptical than normal. Why did he not give it, and why did they close I am sure earlier than normal. There was something adrift which is why I noticed it. |

There definitely was a 5 minute warning as I remember joking about it at the time he said it.

Yes but you are not getting me, they normally close at 8.45pm each week so why did they close around 8.37pm it stood out for me as being odd..
8.37 closing time sounds far more appropriate. |

Okay if that is the time they close each week then fine, but we thought here that they were earlier than usual. I only heard Dermot say they were closed, so did not hear his warning.

That was at about 8.20, which would mean voting did close early? Would also explain why I didnt hear it as I turned over when Jessie J was on.

You know I thought it was me going nuts but my 17 year old commented on it, there was something adrift somewhere.

Ok, so whos gonna call Ofcom?
If we are going to buy into ridiculous theories, whos to say it was Misha who could have been heading away from the bottom two? This is all so silly. |

But when would they have had another chance to close the voting? Surely not after the charity single because that wouldn't leave enough time to prepare for the outcome (the results were straight after the ads) . Also it would be in bad taste to have voting continuing throughout the charity performance.

Interesting to see what the percentage between third and fourth was : if it was very close, you're on to something

Because they didn't send it to deadlock, which means Misha finished last in the vote.
