Hope it's nothing serious, Lindy

We'd get there a bit quicker if I could stop clicking on the picture of Jay by mistake

Should I point out that sales at local theatre for BAT when her darling is appearing, apart from the Wed matinee when the coach trips of OAPs are deposited there for the afternoon are not exactly setting the world alight, in fact pretty abysmal at the moment. But probably not worth it, she would only come up with some excuse.”

I tried to set this person straight wink wink I noticed that when I pointed something out it shut this person up completely and they couldn't reply back with something intelligent, therefore I just couldn't be bothered to post anything else because I have a giant list that includes a million points that would allow this person to think twice, however i'm a nice enough person to just quit while I'm a ahead lol. Funny how this poster pointed out that BAT had gotten some bad reviews yet there were good reviews too, I'm sure when her darling appears she'll attract some mixed bag of opinions.

I believe that's known as a Birdian slip ...

Annoying, isn't it?

Every time I do it I think "whoops, I've just lost J another vote again".

Just think of it as a motivational popup

Back from Sunday family duties and ready to vote!

Looking at the number of votes on the other poll, Hairy doesn't stand a chance - and if he does, it really will be suspicious.

Still suspicious of voting patterns on Friday night - 4% drops in the space of a single click just shouldn't have happened.

However, it's a bitsy itsy poll so just a bit of fun ..

A hairy fan has been tweeting jnb to ask if she has "evidence" of cheating beacuse they want to ask Radio Times to change the voting format for the final

Having now seen the number of votes cast, the stupid thing is that if the 13,100 people who like Jay's Mickey instagram post cast 25 votes each, Hairy would be consigned to the plughole!

I'm sure they do!!😂😂

A bit like asking to swop from First Past the Post to Proportional Representation two hours before the polls close in a General Election!

IMO those two 4% losses off Jays votes on Friday late night ( or adding to poldarks, you choose) could well have been the Alycia lot trying to get rid of Jay......or the online champion.
Or, they had a bot we noticed & called them out so they stopped when they were far enough ahead, who knows,
But. The other semi final winners will annihilate in the final them so hey ho karma, as Deise says...

The 4% drops are suspicious because they were not sustained. Up to that point J's percentage had been going up roughly 1% every 30-35 mins so a 4% drop in 1 minute would mean that a substantial number of people all decided to vote at that one moment, which given the voting up to that point is not realistic. The fact that the voting then immediately reverted to type is the dodgy element as the large drop in voting was not maintained.

Perhaps we ought to have a maths class in our school as well, we already have English Literature and Music Appreciation lessons and not forgetting the Craft lessons (knit and twitch club, sorry can't remember what is was called

The 4% drops I saw happened in the time it takes to vote once - standing at 38% odd, back to voting screen, click, click, back to results screen, bingo, 34%. probably takes 5 seconds. Something wrong somewhere ....

Woooohooo, 180k is toast

Looks like Whiffle's tentative suggestion of 200,00 could be achievable

It happened in my minute sitting on the sidelines

On the other semi when Alycia was in the lead the youtube man apparently put out a snapchat saying the vote was rigged, her vote then promptly dropped like J's did.

Twilight music in the background - do do do do...something odd going on in RTs land

Without the loss of 2 x 4% the vote could have been around 50/50, which would roughly equate with what we were getting in the "bare chest versus jive" tv moment poll from a while back. We nearly won that one up until the last moment, too.

181k passed now in 15mins. If the rate continues we could hit 200k by 9.45pm

ETA 182k @17.01

It's only 1 min 26 secs so won't eat into voting duties.

If I recall (may be wrong) we were trying to find out when the closing time of the poll was and J had been in the lead, then A overtook him momentarily and the poll suddenly closed!
