(A) most people already have their favourites by now, the performances mean very little, (B) the majority of votes are cast towards the end of the voting period (the same is true of most reality shows), (C) how is it fair that the acts who perform near the end will be fresh in the audiences mind for 12 minutes whilst those at the start will not? (D) I'm pretty confident historical voting patterns have proved that the running order matters less when the vote is open from the beginning of the show, (E) twelve minutes to determine who's eliminated is absurd
