Freezing the lines is the safest way to ensure no contamination of the voting system. It also protects the channel from being sued by angry callers. The lines are frozen in plenty of time to allow for a vote check, confirmation, and to allow for a cooling off period.

The net result does help to build paranoia when the lines reopen. But that helps the show make money, which is why they are producing it.
