1.2% is 32,400 votes of 10.8 million therefore Shayne beat Andy by that amount of votes!

I'm pretty sure votes for Journey South would be included in the 10.8m total.

The other thing I'm curious about is... guessing that most of Shayne's votes were from teens, probably voting at average 2/3 times each. And Andy's voters being the older, only one vote, type. Does that mean that there were probably more idividuals supporting Andy then Shayne ?

This would depend on two factors:

If you are deluded AND an Andy supporter!

Deluded, hoping not.
Andy supporter, no, I thought Brenda and Andy were probably the better singers. Shayne though was the easiest bet for winner and probably the easiest for Simon etc to make a success out of.

The 10.8 million does include the votes for JS.

At the beginning of the second show, when JS were eliminated, they had received over 6 million votes.

So they would have received around 4.5 million in the remainder of the second show.

I wonder how many of those were people who had already previously voted and were voting again? The producers are not stupid, are they?

Only 2 or 3 times? I'm sure many parents would have been ecstatic if their offspring had only voted 2 or 3 times.

I know it sounds alot but it's still pretty close compared to most reality TV votes. Even though Shayne was favourite to win beforehand, I don't think anyone was 100% sure until his name was read out and it's possible Andy may have been leading at some stages of the evening.

that would be the difference between the winner and second place

That would be 54,000. But that assumes they were equal when the 6 million votes were counted and thats unlikely.

We'll all know the exact figures IF they are ever released, anything else is just pure speculation

Unless we are working with 4.5m, in which case the numbers are:

54,000 votes difference

Shayne got 2277000 votes
Andy got 2223000 votes

But that's not factoring in their share of the preceding 6.3m votes. C'mon Kate/SYCO just give us the numbers, you don't even have to tell us which artist has got what but rather...

'one act has polled 2.5m votes, the other 2.4m...'

Why is it a big secret anyway?
