All hell seems to have broken loose about the unbelievable bias towards Alex in the Fame Academy final!
Check out the BBC Points of View message board
HERE for starters. They've very conveniently closed the official site's message board - wonder why!!!
I still feel desperately sorry for the way Alistair was treated, and very proud of him for the way that he handled himself with such dignity - if I'd been him I would have walked out half way through saying 'what's the point?'.
I actually feel sorry for Alex too. Yes she won, and none of the bias was of her doing, but this unfortunate aftermath has definitely tainted her victory - I'm sure she'd far rather have won the final on pure merit.
Apparently Carrie Grant was on RI:SE this morning and was questioned by an Alistair fan about Daniel Beddingplant's appalling behaviour. Somewhere in her response she made the statement that 'Alex is worth 10 of Alistair anyway'. Unbelievable!!!!
Incidentally, Alistair is to be on RI:SE between 7 and 9 a.m. tomorrow (unfortunately accompanied by the Grants, I believe) so should be interesting viewing. Hope he now knows how much support he really has from the general public.
