OK, I wrote the Britain’s Got Talent final post yesterday, and there’ve been some interesting comments on that thread that I’d like to highlight and respond to.
First, I don’t think there’s anything the Britain’s Got Talent producers can do to fix the vote at the phone-in stage. The most they can do is influence the [...]
