The camera never lies

I noticed this in the last series, and the same again in this series. It absolutely ruins the moment and can't beleive the production team would choose to deliberatly do this on each show, did they not think ppl would pick up on it?

Want to know what I'm talking about, see below, didn't want to ruin it for those who only find out who won when Ant & Dec announce it!

Wonder if bookies take bets up until the name is said out loud

Spoiler
When all the contestants are lined up for the verdict, and the camera is on Ant & Dec when they say "and the winner is.." watch where the camera goes next. The second contestant it pans to is the contestent they are about to say. It happens throughout the last series at this stage, and the same again for the first 3 nights so far, see if it happens again tomorrow and friday, sure it will!

I haven't been watching the show for long, but you may well be right. I would not be at all surprised if this was deliberate though. It's psychological. They are probably told to "randomise" the canera shots, and it may be that to whoever is holding the camera putting the winner on second is suitably random. They may not even realise they are doing it.

If anyone's ever tried to delierately do things at random - it's really extremly difficult!

Betfair were offering 3.0 odds (treble your money) on George to win the public vote 2nite, and that was after we knew he was performing last. I made a good sum of money

They were offering 1.2 10 secs before result announced while they were all standing there.

I noticed it did it tonight with Jeremy but I was convinced he wasn't going through so I was amazed when he did because it proves your theory!

Cheers, has happened every night so far and its so annoying, not because it ruins the surprise at that comes a few seconds later, but simply because its just so obvious, and poor for a huge budget production company! They must do it for a reason, just not sure why!!!
