PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Percentage of Votes for Each Contestant" |
I'm sure the answer is obvious to everyone but me......How do we know what percentage of the votes each contestant received. I know that Leah received the least, but who came in first, second, third, etc?

I would love to know that too. Maybe Fox decided that they would get much more voter participation if people did not know the point spread.

That would be nice and actually quite interesting but it also makes sense not to show it. People could easily gain up together and vote like hell for another contestant or such..I remember readingabout the first Pop Idol how they did that..at least near the end.

I remember later on in the season they began letting us know who had gotten the top number of votes(usually Clay) and how much those were, as they were starting to break records. Also began letting us know how close some of the bottom two were to each other, I think...

The cynic in me believes they withhold that info because it would then be easy to lie and present whatever results they think would get the best ratings.To my knowledge they have rarely (if ever) said exactly how many votes anyone has received, so that is fuel for many conspiracy theories. For example, this season really could have been 12 females in the top 12 - and probably should have been, but you know Fox would never let that happen. So what if the public voted in 12 females? Fudge the numbers and no one would ever know the difference...

Wow Jethro, and I thought I was cynical and suspicious. I guess I will have to keep my eyes on the tabloids for when the scandal breaks. Your theory does explain some of the strange results tho'.

If I remember right they have mentioned the percentages during the finals but never which contestant had the most votes. They have said it is because they dont want the results from one week to influence the next weeks vote.
