Remember how irritatingly "nice" the moderated comments board on the IDA site has been? http://www.bbc.co.uk/oliver/comments.shtml

Well look at it today, there are posts such as:

Benny, Longford 2008-06-01It's an absolute joke that Jessie didn't win... Clearly the most talented girl in the competition the geographics of the situation made it very difficult for her... But why should voting lines be open before we hear any performance at all... Come on BEEB, you should not open lines until we see who sets the standard. This was daylight robbery in my opinion... Although I think Andrew and Cameron think the same...

rc, wales 2008-06-01True talent has lost out to a safe pair of hands - perhaps this is the true reflection of the final results. Such a shame to see Jessie lose!


I know they're not exactly vicious but it does seem in complete contrast to the BBC's earlier stance. A friend of mine didn't get comments published in the first few weeks, he said they were critical of other contestants but in a mannerly way.

I suppose they can't have a whole thread of just comments saying how pleased they are about Jodie...

In other weeks, there have been different people to support in positive ways, so they could get by without negatives (although I don't think they should have done...hmph.) Now there is only one person to be pleased for, they have to let Jessie supporters have a say to give it some balance.

Although, having said that, I am suprised by the level of negativity towards the BBC they allowed to get through!

The BBC are.....the BBC............lol

The BBC - never let the truth get in the way of a good story. They'll dress it up exactly how they want anything to be portrayed, regardless of the facts. I used to be big supported, but their work sometimes is very one eyed.

I posted a negative comment a couple of weeks ago and it never got put up. It was nothing to do with any of the contestants, but the lack of musical theatre songs and acting tasks / performances

Thats the Beeb for ya!

I did the same. Seems the BBC will only post the criticism it wats to, same old, same old.
