According to Claudia numerous times tonight there was a problem with the telephone voting system. I've just finished voting online and apparently got to vote again so I wondered if I'd messed up but then got the message 'You may have experienced voting more than 3 times however only your first 3 votes will be counted.'

It sounds like they're having issues tonight, many people will have voted over the phone lines and probably voted again because they didn't get the confirmation message and a lot of votes cast online may be discounted because who knows which of my four will count.

Hmm..

Opportunity to discard the viewers votes and go with the judges?

That message has been there every week.

No thank you. Why have the show? Part of the fun is getting involved.

I suspect they worried a bit too much about possible issues with voting due to the Blackpool setup? My phone votes for Rinder were fine and got the usual message saying who you have voted for etc.
