Well, apparently whoever goes last it is being fixed for them to win...

so it's Signature right?

But Simon wants a singer, and he gave Faryl a standing ovation, so it has to be her?

But Escala were after her and they got a standing ovation as well and a big speech on patriotism to whip up the audience... so it's being fixed for Escala to win?

This is DS, it wouldn't be right unless we were accusing every show of being rigged.

Who is it rigged for? You decide...

Obviously the final aint. Especially because viewers have 1 hour to vote.

But in the smeis, viewers had 10 mins, and the one performing last had a clear advantage. It isn't the case when there's 1 hour to vote and not as much pressure on viewers to calll.

I think Simon wants Faryl or Escala to win, but I am really surprised that it was Signature who went last.

No, if it happens so - they will grin and say they wanted.

But they, really, really want Escala - the professional quartet - or Faryl to win - Simon can make money from CD sales ... see.

Faryl - even though she is really talented George was her closest competition and the tape 'mysteriously' wasn't made for him! Probably done so people don't vote for him. I don't like simon anymore

I don't think it's rigged at all.

And I'm glad that there's a big gap between the main show and the results show so that the running order no longer has an effect.

I can't help feeling the last act was so fresh in the viewers' mind during the semis, and there was so little time to vote that the final performer was at a bit of an advantage.

I think it might be Signature, simply because for both tonight's and their semi-final performance, they both went last. So it might be because the producers them to be clear in the viewers' head, forgetting everyone else and voting for them instead.

However tonight I'm trying not to be cynical, because it just spoils it, unless it is so obvious.

Escala. Simon can see the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ signs.

George lost his mixing tape so has to do the same routine.

The cheeky monkeys are put in over Flava who are in turn are much better than Nemisis.

Nemisis have only 24 hours to the semis and aren't allowed to do the same routine.

Escala are allowed to perform their original audition.

Plumber guy has to perform a song he doesn't want to do.

Faryl and Andrew do their original audition songs.

Only Kate and Gin and Signature escape from the conspiracy theorists.

There are so many conspiracies going around that I'm sure they've done it to put us off the scent.

Going by the Ofcom apology at the start - why should we trust them?

I mean; phone votes + ITV + Ant & Dec = FIX!

Now that is a cracking theory because it can never be proven wrong!

I think the judges comments are geared towards their own favourites.

Strike, for example, were out of sync but this little fact wasn't only ingored, we the audience were told they were perfectly co-ordinated........and yet Nemesis were criticised for being out of sync.

This along with Andrew's saying that the song choice was totally out of his hands, says to me that some subtle rigging is going on.

How do Signature escape from the conspiracy theories? They were the last act and going on one dominant theory on this forum, are in prime position to win as a result of that. They also did a routine very similar to their audition one.

Faryl wins. I'm at the studio. It's just been announced.

escala for all the reasons i have posted.

It's blatantly fixed for Andrew Muir. You can see the ££££££££££££ in Simon's eyes and the judges and producers clearly want him to win.

PMSL.
If he wins I'll be :sleep::yawn:

If you think it's fixed, why bother even watching it?

no words just them ^^
and how do you know, did they tell you?

I don't, and I have spent a week arguing that it isn't (to no avail).

But it is tradition on DS that the forums claim it (in fact, everything) is fixed. My point was actually that it isn't being fixed for one person.

SHAUNCROW:the lines are still open though...

I don't think ShaunCrow is being serious.

I think after the case of the last act always winning being brought before Simon, they couldn't let an obvious winner like Faryl go last again.

You're spot on but will be ignored once the result is announced. When the winner is revealed, people will be saying when it was fixed for that one act all along, when really you could argue that all of the acts have been favoured and given some sort of advantage.

As you said, it's just a tradition on DS.
