[Sertius]

And this includes all of the silly music programmes and it is this:

One person uses their phone to cast 1,000 votes for the the same person.
Nine hundred and ninety nine other people use their phones to cast one vote each for person number 2.

Hey presto! The winner is the one who has one fan and not the one with nine hundred and ninety nine fans. In truth this has harmed the quality of many shows such as BB, X-Factor, American Idol, etc...

I have always refused to vote in any of these kind of shows since they are not truly reflective of popular feeling.
