This is the same rubbish that is spouted in every one of these kind of competitions when someones favourite doesnt get through.

Seen it countless times.

His phone line didnt seem to be blocked for all the weeks that got him through to the final today did it but yet its suddenly blocked today?

Face it.....he was out voted this time.

Definite scam I expect on the Christopher voting lines.

There is no way he was 3rd.

Just reporting what I am hearing. That is all. Not saying it is fact or anything.

Joke thread?

If it's for real...

From OFCOM's adjudication on the 2007 final.

Channel TV explained that The X Factor’s service provider, Harvest Media Group (“Harvest”) works with BT Agile Media to deliver the UK vote. This is achieved by use of BT’s Recorded Information Delivery Equipment (RIDE) platform which has a capacity to handle over 200,000 votes per minute.

In response to Ofcom’s request for information to explain why viewers were unable to get through to vote for their chosen contestant, Channel TV provided data to demonstrate that the line availability of the RIDE platform is designed to be “phone number neutral”. Therefore all callers have an equal chance of getting through, irrespective of their choice of contestant. In other words, the chances a caller has of getting through are not determined by the “voting number” (usually the last three or four digits of the telephone number), but by the number of callers overall calling the shared first digits of the voting number, therefore no individual contestant could be disadvantaged disproportionately compared to any other.

If call volumes exceed the capacity of the RIDE platform at any given time, all those calls, irrespective of the chosen contestant, fail to get through. Channel TV provided data to Ofcom that it had sourced from BT to demonstrate that there was adequate capacity on the RIDE platform to handle the large amounts of calls generated by the live final. However, it remained possible that individual network operators may have experienced problems with their own servers due to instances of high call volumes.

Everyone is entitled to vote for who they want though. Voting for him doesn't make anyone stupid. It is a personal choice. More music snobbery.
