Am I being a little over suspicious of the use of the contingency plan of an independant jury?

so if the person who they want to win doesn't get the highest number of votes - they go to their "independently picked" panel
certainly making sure sam wins arn't they!

Quite right too.

It would be a travisty if she didn't.

Especially after last week's scare.

I think there will be uproar if they discount the public vote. After all the trouble with ITV you would think that the BBC will have been trying to avoid any trouble or suspicions.

this is so ridiculous, isn't it? they would have pulled this with HDYSAPLM if Connie wasn't in front i bet.

I'm not sure Cam and the panel want Sam, ALW might, but it's not his show at the end of the day.

In fairness this happens every week. I went to the live show when Francesca was knocked out and I was given a voting form to fill in in case of issues with the phone vote.

They only gave forms out to members of the public, not friends, relatives or invited guests.

yea but there would be huge complaints and an independant investigation if the lines went down....on que.


they darent...........but its fun to know just how much they are worried..........

in the audience though right? theydidn't have a whole room of people for this specific purpose did they?
