It seems the British public like nothing better than to rig the voting on these interactive phone-in Entertainment shows for extra amusement.
Im talking specifically of ex-Corrie star: Helen Flanagan on ITV Celeb Jungle and Rylan from X-Factor.
In H-Flan’s case, the public keep voting her to do the trials but she won’t, its not a loss though as her reluctance to attempt them means her campmates starve. Win-win!
In Rylan’s case, he got through Saturday’s X-Factor despite miming at the expense of a much better singer: Laura.
The only logic I can find in this is that either Rylan is really popular or the Anti X Factor brigade are massing in time for Xmas (likely the latter).
One year, they even bought Rage Against The Machine on mass to keep X-Factor off of the no. 1 Xmas spot.
Back to H-Flan, she is getting alot of abuse from this appearance on Celeb Jungle and as much as this program is a status ‘pick me up’, its also a status ‘put me down’.
Just ask Gillian McKeith.
