Come on guys, I never thought you would start reporting on stuff like this! Free calls for those who want them, fine but worthy of news? I don't think so
News and all work is about shades of light and dark and this helps the mix. Looking at our last five stories X-factor, Iphone price, pension credit, air fares, and current accounts that's nice balance to me.

quite concerned to see the twins second most popular. do you think people are using their free votes to do joke votes - i'm not sure that many people would actually pay to vote for them!!!!
Is there somewhere we can view who polled the most votes in previous weeks?
That information is something that isn't reported in the press generally so well done MSE for uncovering that, it makes it all the more interesting to see how the content of the media coverage and the actual performances affect the public vote.

This week's figures appear to be accurate and reflect the wider public vote via the normal usual routes, at least as far as the bottom 2 are concerned anyway, namely Lloyd & Rachel. They were in the sing off.
It went to deadlock and Rachel was bottom and went !

Veni, Vidi, VISA ! ................. I came, I saw, I PURCHASED
S LOWER CASE OMEGA;6.59 so far ..
Think that this list reflects a certain demographic of older voters (perhaps all MSEs?!) as Danyl & Olly do so well, whereas if you polled 10,000 teenagers I am certain that Stacey, Joe & LLoyd would be higher.
Of course, these votes are valid but I suspect that a lot of MSEs would not normally spend their money this way. I'm so ahem...thrifty that, despite being very vocal about who I like & dislike on X Factor, I rarely vote until the last few weeks at all.
Very interesting to see the figures, but they aren't the whole story and should be treated as such.
(BTW - What happpens if you try to vote & the allocation of votes has gone? Does it tell you, or would you be charged? See I'm being "thrifty" again!)

I can't think of any other reason why they stay in each week, but for "vote for the worst" suggestions, and if the vote is free it's far more likely to happen. IMHO!
