Doesn't matter, Cameron wants her for the part. The phone vote is irrelevant.

How can the phone vote be irrelevant? That's what DECIDES who wins, call it what you will but they can't alter the numbers and they can't force people to vote for Sam..?!

Unfortunately

I do so find it difficult to warm to Jodie, I feel badly about this because she can obviously sing, and is giving her all but as soon as she appears she irritates me.  I've done a bit of lurking on other sites (I've only posted recently on this because people seem quite civilised) and her supporters are very aggressive and vitriolic, which also puts me off I'm ashamed to say

And have you ever seen figures from the BBC to say how many people voted and for whom?

Surely nobody can think those involved would risk going to prison by fixing the vote to ensure that one of the less popular contestants wins, thereby reducing the ticket sales, reducing the profit, and increasing the risk of failure? They might do that in Crazy World, but here in the Land of the Sane they have every incentive to play it straight and have the most popular contestant win because that's what'll bring in the most money. Some conspiracy theories can be entertaining in their lack of contact with reality but this one's just too stupid to be funny.

I've never warmed to her either. But we all have our opinions. Thankfully it'll be all over by tomorrow! Then people can bitch all they want but it'll be too late to do anything about it!

Theres a morbid fascination to watching these shows, and I do get slightly addicted (try and watch every week etc) but if it wasn't there people wouldn't really miss it and it must be so much easier to cast something the traditional way.  Most people wouldn't question the casting normally just accept it.  Though I do understand the need to generate publicity it's a shame a different way can't be found

Please don't be ashamed to say you are put off by the very aggressive and vitriolic - who isn't? I did find the baying from the audience every time Jodie was criticised disturbing.   Possibly only a small element but quite loud!  However, I suppose her supporters club should not have prevented her from getting the role and they will certainly add a frisson to the theatre foyer.
