Just that I saw Christopher seems to voting for himself a lot I was just wondering if this was against the rules?

Yes they're allowed. But I find it strange that he's admitted it!

He did the same with the DS main poll each week.

They changed their poll though to stop it, hopefully XF bosses will do the same.

He's clearly racking up quite a phone bill.

I find it really unfair, especially as Orange is supplying him with unlimited free calls.

Jokes aside though, it is a premium phone line and therefore cannot be rung with a contract without paying some extra money. Also i doubt him voting for himself will make any difference, the acts are likely to be a few thousand votes apart.

He may have re-mortgaged his nan's house.

It is rather desperate in my opinion. Cringeworthy.

Has he actually been voting for himself?

Jesus christ, how arrogant and pathetic is that? This guy is an absolute joke.

I am sure the mentors and show producers could probably spend a lot of money on voting in some form or other to get the result they want.

General Bananafish, it is a privilege to be part of your army. The last few months have been terrible times for our soldiers and we've lost some on the battlefield, but with you leading us I know we can defeat the one they call Voldermort's evil brother. I feel like I owe you a great honour and pledge my full support to you. Not long to go.

An army is only as strong as all those who fight in it.

It has been an honour to fight alongside forum members such as yourself and see that good does indeed triumph over evil.

Lucifer is crumbling, and we will be there when he is nothing but orange dust and tears.

Well, if politicians can vote for themselves, why not tv show contestants?!

tbh you'd be a fool to vote for any of the others.

Now THAT is damning with faint praise if I've ever heard it.

Yes. Good will always triumph over evil. Lucifer's reign of terror will soon come to an end, and the good will be restored. Digital Spy are a great bunch of members who support the good, and sadly to those that were taken in my his wicked ways, they have bought great shame to the country.

I think he's been pretty decent and has had enjoyable performances over the last couple of weeks. I'd definitely keep him over Lucy or Rylan or the spare boyband if he keeps changing up those songs in a fun way the way he's been doing.
