Has anyone observed that before they cast their votes the judges may be writing figures on the sheet in front of Len?
I noticed last night because Craig had to lean across Arlene on an occasion to do it. It could only have been a "figure" due to the time he took to write it.
Does this mean Len knows what the rest of the panel are scoring before he decides on his own vote?
Each judge has a terminal with which they vote and surely the voting should be impartial so there is no need to confer in any event. I know Len rarely gives less than "five" but sometimes his scores seem way out of line with the others. Is there some sort of "averaging" up or down going on in certain cases?
