How did this happen. He was favourite at the start but drifted to being an outsider to win and back to being the favourite. These are very suspicious betting patterns

Tbh, I was hundred percent sure it was Wayne. So I guess a lot of punters were thinking it too. I mean beau in 5th? Who'd have thought!

Plus Wayne was nowhere near the favourite last night - there were odds of 22/1 on bet fair and even further out. Yet before the show he was one of the favourites...and the entire way through the show. Really odd

To be fair, I watched the odds on SkyBet throughout the night and he went to outsider the moment he finished his act, he only became the favourite again AFTER more bad acts had been on

The running order makes a difference though.

AS soon as I saw Richard was on second and Wayne was closing, I thought it was forgone.

I had an each way bet on Beau as I was convinced she'd be top 3 after her audition. As I said elsewhere if she'd changed the song to say Let it Go, that might gave got her more votes.

Beau was not very good tonight and she sang a song she sang before.

Sorry but how was that manipulated by the judges of producers? If he was given the pimp slot I might have agreed but he was actually in the first half of the running order. His act played on sentiment and patriotism but that was presumably his choice. Some of the judges may have wanted a magician to win, personal choice and all that but I don't see any sort of fix of manipulation in his win.

sentiment and patriotism i beg to differ His last two tricks were copied from other magicians .

Yes although the soldier deck trick video doesn't reveal how it's done

What do you mean by manipulated?
The only manipulation I perceived is from his act itself, but considering all other variables he was on early, and later acts were given a standing ovation and presented as stronger contenders by the judges.
So what do you mean by manipulated? Do you mean that the actual votes themselves were tinkered with?

Possibly down to Cowell? Why sing the same song as before?

they should have kept him a favourite then they wouldn't have had to give as much money away

Bound to be a fix.
You should get straight on to every statutory body you can think of asap.
