Default What I hate about all the programmes that use phone or FB voting is...

And this includes all of the silly music programmes and it is this:

One person uses their phone to cast 1,000 votes for the the same person.
Nine hundred and ninety nine other people use their phones to cast one vote each for person number 2.

Hey presto! The winner is the one who has one fan and not the one with nine hundred and ninety nine fans. In truth this has harmed the quality of many shows such as BB, X-Factor, American Idol, etc...

I have always refused to vote in any of these kind of shows since they are not truly reflective of popular feeling.

Yes but realistically the number of people that vote mean this is never makes much of a difference, only in rare cases (arguably, for example, Aaron's victory last year) when you have extremely passionate fans

this is how aaron won last year I remember tons of his fans on digital spy saying how they were voting like 10000 times each, why do you think he still got relentless boos, it's a serious flaw in the voting system

All the boos meant was that the crowd didn't like him, arguably the majority of viewers were Aaron fans

Mmmm....and here was I thinking he was the best one to win since C5 managed to start their manipulation against him. Much better than some guy who couldn't tell the difference between a toilet and a fridge.
