Yes we would!
I'm sure you're right in what you say in the second part of your post but if you reread my post you'll see that I wasn't arguing otherwise.
I'm curious about the possible effect on the result of this "competition" of the voting behaviour of this one particular individual, allegedly with a clinical psychological problem & out of control on her phone.
Moreover, a low absolute number of votes cast would presumably create the potential for betting fraud. Someone could bet very heavily on one contestant (eg to be in the final 3), then invest £1000 or so in phone calls & recoup that investment with a huge profit.
Obviously, the higher the number of votes, the less feasible this would be.
