Normally the bookies never pass up a chance to make a buck or 2 but even my bookies odds compilers, with whom I am on first name terms with, are shying away from offering odds on whether or not Perez gets a pass to the finals. I asked them why and low and behold, what did they say........ONLY CH5 HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THE VOTES TALLIES, nobody can challenge them so we are not laying odds.

That my friends is straight form the horses mouth. CH5 can rig the vote with no comeback as its part of the show, which they can run how they like and the viewers are not paying for the privilege of the free app.
