Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Strange indeed - I just can't work it out. It seems that the public only stopped voting for Baloney when the judges started to be nice to him?
It also seems that James was a slow burn, Ella was never really near the top so didn't seem to capture the public imagination at any time and the 'next big boy bands' as Louis so boringly said every week, were always near the bottom and so are sure to sink without trace soon.
Delighted with the winner - even Chris Evans (who very publicly said he hates the X Factor) was saying this morning how good James is.

I think the public were voting Balony partly to wind the judges up.

Then when realised the real talent could lose out to such voting got behind who they really wanted to avoid another joke result

I'm not surprised about Ella. I found her very boring.

The boy bands were just more boy bands we don't need and the rest were 'padding'

I think it just shows who is actually prepared to pick up the phone and vote. Big difference between those just watching the thing, and those who are prepared to financially pay and vote for who they like.

I know quite a few people who watch the show, or bits of it. Don't know of a single person who has voted for years.

Is there a list of the actual number of votes rather than percentages around? That would be more revealing.
