You say the crowd speaks volumes, well how many people is that roughly ?
Compare that to the total audience and would that statement still hold up ?

Serious question I'm not on a wind up.

I dont fancy arguing (I know you wouldnt but others might post comment), shouldnt have made the thread because I sorta knew this would be the outcome and most would disagree with my point of view.

Anyway lll explain how I see it. I know the crowd only consists of, say 200-300 people? But every winner has been fully cheered (as it sounds on the TV) except Rachel but her boos were in the minority. This to me indicates that hes not THAT popular as the crowd drowned him with boos. I know its the crowd, and they are generally awful, but Aaron was cheered the first 2 times he was up... And like I said, winners have always been greeted with cheers.

Why do I think its down to the online campaigning? Theres been a lot of it on here and DS. Many members claiming to be voting loads using £20+... this is a lot of money to vote on a Reality TV show imo. It hasnt been successful before because the voting was dear so people didnt spend that much money. FB votes were only 7p this series so people took the opportunity to fork out knowing there money was worth more votes. Of course casual viewers will have used FB, and probably casted 5 more votes because of the cheapness or something, but not as much as the forum campaigners.

Its not a bad thing. The majority of the hardcore fans got their winner, not sour grapes or anything (maybe a little ), but I do think its what won Aaron, the FB vote system. Without Jay (maybe Alex) would have been the winner.

Just my thought, and I think the campaigners should be proud and not shy away... I said elsewhere if I was part of it Id be proper pleased.
