Yesterday they showed everyone's voting details except Lorna's on the screen below when talking to all the contestants during the Flash vote, is this even legal?

To show everyone's numbers except hers, This will obviously make a difference in the result?

Did anyone else notice this, I rewind to make sure it wasn't my eyes, but 09 was missing & Lorna's voting details were not there, surely this is a proven Fix?

It wouldn't be a fix unless it's proven they did that on purpose.
It can be classed quite easily as a technical fault, but it would give an unfair advantage to everyone else. Yes.

Oh, and the lines didn't open till the end of the show, when the numbers were given out again. Therefore, it could not be classed as unfair or advantageous to any other contestant.

Firsly giving her about 2 minutes airtime throughout the whole process, then give her an awful song, and then not showing her voting details, surely it adds up too more than that :P

It's manipulated more than fixed. They have had 24 hours to decide who to save if they were in the bottom two against Shelly.

Exactly. It's not a fix, but she was labelled as cannon fodder and has been manipulated appropriately to be so.

If you want to have a genuine say in a competition, without any fixing... then you should vote for contestants on the forum game

Shameless plug

I was expecting it to be a massive deal yesterday, a competition where you win a recording contract, and the producers making the competition unfair, but no one seems to have picked up on it at all :/

It is, but Lorna's comments were interrupted by the ad break. And they still gave her number along with everyone else's when the lines opened, so it wouldn't have impacted her. And it didn't, as she got through the Flash Vote.

The voting carries over from the flash vote, so it still impacted her, she may have not been in the bottom 2.

I don't see how though, because her number was given out on the show before the lines opened. People couldn't vote until then... and that was when her number was given. Be different if it was like it used to be, back when you could vote before the first singer even stepped on the stage.
