Somethings not right....
If the public vote is added to the judges vote then JOhn should still be in the competition if there were 20 audience votes in it?? So how come he isn't!!
David was bottom John was in third place So if there were around 20 (or less)votes in it shouldn't John still be in the Competition??? That will be less than 1% It doesn't make sense Any thoughts? |

I've emailed ITV and asked for a breakdown of results...haven't heard anything yet. I did wonder how the system worked, especially as he was third from top with the judges' scores.

i assume it was 20 votes between what was needed to put him above david in the combined marks rather than 20 votes between the actual viewer votes cast

They're certainly contradicting themselves!! Philip says that not only do the judges votes count, the viewers count as well! I really want to know how this works. hmmmm

How are the votes counted, then .. I'd assumed it was the same as SCD with the marks being convered into points corresponding to the number of people left in - so 5 couples left, top with judges 5 points down to one for bottom, the same for the viewers votes and then the 2 added together for a final leader board, the couple who were highest with the viewers being used in the event of a tie.
Are they doing it some other way? |

Are they doing it some other way? But, where SCD explained all this, DOI has not. Why? |

David I'm not very good at this - when a simlar thing happned on SCD I seem to remember spread sheets were involved! but .. to me then saying Bonnie has 7 points and David 1, that means John had to be bottom or second from bottom with the public vote, scoring just one or 2 points from that. If he had 2 points from the public and 5 from the judges with a total of 7 points, then David had to score at least 6 with the viewers and Kelly at least 5 (as viewers vote takes it in the event of a point tie). I'd guess that Stefan would be bottom with the viewers and get one point giving him a total of 4. If Sean scored 3 with the public, that puts him on 7 points again but because - again - higher score from the public he also goes ahead of John. That leaves the 4 points and 7 points to go with Gaynor and Bonnie leaving them very safe. Of course, all this is more than likely just a product of my fevered imagination!

Have done the math (I think) based on SCD system.
John would have scored 5, and Stefan 3, based on the judges mark. Assuming they were both bottom on voting, John would have either 6 or 7 (presumably 7 if he only just slipped down at the last minute) and Stefan would score either 4 or 5 (let's say 4) David was 1 on the Judges, so must have been either 2nd or 1st in the voting to get a total 7 or 8 (or the top in the voting based on above assumptions about John) Kelly had to be in the votes top 3 (2nd if above) Sean had to in top 4 (top 3 if above). So by that method, phone votes must have been... 1: David 2: Kelly 3: Sean 4/5: Bonnie, Gaynor 6: John 7: Stefan Oh my nrain hurts now.... |

I know
The way I worked it out had quite a few couples on 7 points, but John and Olga at the bottom of the '7's pile' 'cos they scored the least with the public. |

The highest you can get from the judges is 7. Same goes for the viewer vote. So it was a gap of 20 votes between the actual viewer votes cast.

Got this reply from ITV ref getting a copy of the results -
ITV do not provide or publish a breakdown of voting results for any of their programmes. My conspiracy sense is tingling again!! |

I think that they don't release these results before the final show in order not to influence betting odds.
They probably also hope to keep viewers using the phone-vote lines, as they do not know how well their favourite is doing (if they think they are safe, they won't vote). Also if people knew, they could vote tactically to try to increase the chances of their least favourite going out, rather than to increase the chance of their favourite staying. So (probably) no conspiracy. |

So (probably) no conspiracy. There are a few betting sites still giving odds on John winning. I suppose this is just in case there's an injury (or something like that) and he is allowed back in. |

Philip said that when the screen refreshed itself from the viewers votes, there were only a 'couple' in it!! I think the system needs explaining so we understand it fully
