well he was in 3rd/4th place 1st 4 weeks and big drop to last which is when the knives started so that's how I have worked it out - he was thrown under the bus poor bugger
Not overly surprised by the results. Predictable, really, just like all the previous series. Fleur didn't set the world alight, but she picked up toward the end. Andrea sank like a stone halfway through!

He actually had 50% MORE votes than Fleur. So maybe there was crossed wires somewhere. Seems a coincidence otherwise that that's the case.

It just means the voting numbers themselves were close enough that the percentage comes up the same, but Jay still had more votes.

Knew it. Pretty comprehensive victory by Ben in the end too.

They said that Fleur got 22% though, which was also wrong. Albeit marginally.
Lauren was robbed
Get rid of he sing off in the semis now. Feel so bad for her now.
As a Lauren fan I was hoping she would be fourth to make me feel better she wasn't there. She must be gutted

I know I was guttered for him but he was never really given the opportunity and called it when they went to the lives he would be turned on at some point and surprise it happened at week 4
Daily star leak was maybe just the way they worded it - Ben had 50% more votes than Fleur.....who knows......?
Does confirm some of the theories though and how damaging some of the treatment can be - i.e Andrea, Lauren and Paul all doing well until the producers threw them under the bus. Fleur not being that popular then suddenly she is after the pimping.
Anyone thinking that there is no manipulation after these stats then they need to open their eyes.

They put a sing off instead of public vote.Tbh it was a better final with Andrea.
Can't take away fleurs achievement with her no.1 though bless her she was very
Middle of road in votes but she did well considering!

The voting stats also show that the wildcards were a complete waste of time! and just made the show bloated, apart from Stevi being 3rd one week none of the wildcards made an impact.
Fleur jumped to 2nd place on her Bang Bang performance then. Surprised how low she pulled in for Thriller.
Shows how Ben's fanbase was always strong and consistent. I expected around a 35% win margin for Andrea on Week 1 because that week he was by far the best, so the fact he got 19% and Ben was 2nd showed how strong Ben's fanbase from the beginning.
Stevie polling 3rd place in Week 4 (Halloween) when he was last to sing and there was only around 5 mins of opened phonelines from the moment he sang!
Surprised with Jay, expected him as the predictable % topper in the early weeks.

But it was only 1%, which is hardly anything. Andrea would have been better for the final than Lauren (in terms of putting on a show, which he did... he was the best out of the three of them!) Lauren, as lovely as she is, would not have set Wembley alight.

He also missed out on the tour spot, which is a shame as Jay James is a total borefest imo
Wow they really screwed Paul Akister, he starts so well and then tumbles right down to the bottom plus was really unlucky to go against jay.
Also how close was vote 7??!! Only the young not even close to the rest

It's called fairness
Just as I predicted really. Andrea strong at first then Ben dominating.
I remember so many claims that Fleur was struggling in the votes all along, and that OTY were doing really well. Turns out she really wasn't and they only narrowly escaped the Bottom 2 on multiple occasions. Surprised that she was Top 5 in week 1 too, after barely any exposure before Judges' Houses.
Good to see Paul was doing well to start with. Such a sudden drop in week 5 though..
Surprised that Jay James was never up high.
