... if Beth wins?

Now let me make it clear that imo Ray is the most talented and complete package we have ever seen on DOI. I will be voting for him and Beth to make the last two and then, on the assumption that they make it, my votes will go to Ray. However if history repeats itself and Beth wins - what will the judges do this time - turn their backs on her?

They will sulk.

So will I. Well for about 5 minutes anyway

If she does win, I do hope they are not rude to her.

Don't hold your breath.
They were incredibly rude to her last year. There was a token show of applause (though their faces told a very different story!) when it was announced that Beth had won, but right at the very end of the show the cameras panned over to the judges who sat there looking as if it had been announced that the world was going to end in one minute's time.

I do hope they have a plentiful supply of lemons to suck if Hayley doesn't make the final two.

Don't really care tbh.

I watch the show for the performances, and hopefully to see my favourite win...but my viewing experience and entertainment, and most definitely the way I vote has got nothing at all to do with how those 4 judges will feel or how they will happen to 'react' to the winner. They might be happy, they might be disappointed and would have preferred someone else to win and react accordingly for a minute or two, just like every single one of us watching the show, but it will hardly be a huge deal either way...I doubt it will effect them that much differently to how it will effect us...they'll go to the after-party and have a good time with everyone as they're friends and get on with their life, having enjoyed the show and glad they got paid well for it.

I understand how it can be annoying if you feel they don't like your favourite as much as you do or they mark him/her less than you think he/she deserves, but the public are the ones who decide the winner in the end. I personally think its a bit ridiculous though, if peoples obsession with how the judges feel means their vote is related to seeing the judges faces of disappointment.

Its not an obsession, it's all part of the show.
