Default What would happen if XF turned out to be a fix?

If it was proven that Leon winning was a fix then what would happen? Would his recording contract be taken off him and handed to Rhydian?
Seems a bit harsh if that did happen, and imagine how poor Leon would feel!

Forget Leon, think about all the people that love reality TV.

It would be the death nail in the coffin of the reality TV format. After ITV was fined 10's or millions of pounds if not 100's of millions pounds for fixing the show by Ofcom and possibility told to clean up their act or lose their license, no broadcaster would touch TV phone voting ever again.

It wont happen because it doesn't take a genuis to figure it out that all the moaning has come from Rhydian's fans. I couldn't get through once for SD, neither could other SD fans, but they aren't moaning.

I agree and I know of people that couldn't get through to vote for Leon.

It all come about because Dermot gave out how close the vote was as a percentage. If he had said the vote was very close I don't think we would be in this position now. Some people might have complained but not in the numbers we are seeing now.

Sites like this: www.rhydian-roberts.co.uk just help to make the numbers of complaints grow out of control. I can understand that people are upset but that is life and it's not always fair.

I agree. Its the fact that Dermot gave out the percentage then the final swing that makes it all seem a bit fishy. One of the stats must be wrong.
