I don't buy into the fact that the order they were asked in was 'fixed'. They were pushing for time, and probably felt it would be easiest to just go from right to left without thinking it through. I personally think it's irrelevant when a Judge is asked for their vote, when you're asked you give your vote - and if you refuse to vote then that's your decision. The Judge should not be in control of the voting order - and I can guarantee, that if for some bizzarre reason Cheryl had got her way, and they had gone back to her, all of her haters would be doing the rounds of internet forums continuing to claim she is 'favoured' and 'special' etc etc. She can't win.

And 'access to the public votes'? You really think that, upon request of Cheryl and other members of the public, they are going to give out access to the voting figures so far this series? It's never going to happen. Voting figures are released at the end of every series - so as not to effect the outcome of future votes during the series. That's not going to change for anyone, neither should it.

In short; she was required to cast her vote second, she refused - her vote was voided. Simple.

By access to the public vote I meant she should have been entitled to deadlock and the decision of the public - given that neither Danni nor Cheryl had voted her off. I, honestly, can't see how anyone could disagree with that argument. And Cheryl would never EVER have been in danger of being accused of favouring TreyC; believe me. She should have insisted after Louis' vote that it went to deadlock. It was the only fair thing to do. She's both spineless and dim.
