The phone lines close at around 8:20pm every week.
Where did you get 8:45 from? They start announcing who's through at around 8:30pm (after an ad break, and the lines are closed at the beginning of the previous segment).

They closed at 8:25PM after coming back from the break after Jessie J. There's no where else they could've closed them as the results were announced straight after the next break

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.
It's always going to depend on how the show is scheduled. this week the contestants performance which is normally at the beginning of the show was moved to highlight the charity single. There was definitely the 5 minute warning with the clock countdown displayed in the backscreen of the stage. It made perfect sense to do it when they did or otherwise the 5 minute warning would have to have been after the ad break and therefore the lines would have closed after the results were scheduled to start, They have to allow a couple of minutes between the lines closing and announcing the results so they can ensure the lines are cleared. If not we start getting the "I couldn't get through" complaints. As I recall it went Jesse J finished, 5 minute warning given, ad break, lines closed announced, charity song, results. Also to actually worry about them closing a few minutes early when they've been open for just under 23 hours is a failing on your part and not an issue with the show. BTW last night on Strictly, Tess said the lines were open until about 8:45 but when it was displayed on the screen it said 8:40. And there's no 5 minute warning there. I thought that was more of an issue and more confusing than X Factor. |

They didn't send it to deadlock because the majority of judges who voted felt that Misha had performed better, simple as that.
Actually I did not think either judge said Misha had performed better not in the sing off, if they did I misunderstood what they were in fact saying then. |

You might be right, it just seemed different tonight. Maybe because the group performance is usually first.
Dont care anyway, the bottom two was spot on and hopefully Misha goes next week. |

They probably closed the lines earlier than normal because the group song wasn't sang at the beginning tonight, as it normally is! The Make a Wish video followed by the song was longer than 5 minutes so they wouldn't of been able to do the 5 minute warning/lines now closed.
I don't think there was anything sinister about it |

THANK you
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. And as you don't vote, it's obvious you don't pay attention - from another thread ..... Quote:
I don't vote either, it is all a waste of money, as they seem to get more and more manipulative each year. And now I find that Dermot did not even announce the 5 minute warning tonight that votes were about to close and they in fact appear to me to have closed earlier than they normally do, so that really makes me wonder about tonights result show.

Dont care anyway, the bottom two was spot on and hopefully Misha goes next week. Maybe the charity single made things different this week, but for us here it just seemed a bit odd, and I only asked if anyone else had noticed, or what time they normally close. Hopefully next week no bottom 2 at all, and the public get out who they want. To the person who mentioned having 23 hours to vote, fine, but you know even a few minutes if the voting is very close can change things around a to who is in the bottom. |

Here's a conspiracy theory for you - judging by your join date and numbert of posts you could be a banned poster re-registering with different details |

In the past the judges have said they are only judging on the sing off performance tonight Louis and Tulisa commented they were taking Saturday nights performances as well, which for me moved the goal posts, which is wrong. We had Kitty told she had been in the bottom enough and was time to go as she was not connecting with the public, so why was Misha not given the same critique and sent off home? there are double standards here that stand out a mile. And if the lines did in fact close earlier than normal then why was that? It would seem that one FM here can even give the time he/she switched over?

There reasons to my knowledge have never been about the performance the night before, it has always been done on the sing off and future potential maybe.
None of this lot will fill arena's in my mind anyway. |

Just watched (skimmed through) the last three results shows on ITV player and Dermot announced the 5 minute warning at the same time in every show, and he did announce it today after he spoke to Jessie J.
No conspiracy here, move along...... |

There was something adrift which is why I noticed it. Maybe they do close different times each week, but as long he gave the warning, I guess it's valid. Thanks for your interesting reply on my 'Janet's Departure - I'm In Two Minds' thread by the way. I replied with my thoughts .
