X Factor: Is Under Investigation By Ofcom for Voting Scandals

X Factor is currently under investigation by Ofcom for manipulating voting systems and changing criteria for certain acts.

This is not the first time an ITV program has been investigated for its phone-in-systems. Many years ago it was revealed that many competition games shows were keeping their phone-in-systems open and telling people to phone in even when the competition was closed weeks before.

But X Factor is being investigated for its dodgy Voting-System. Only a few weeks ago Cheryl refused to vote, which in the end worked against Rachel, it was Katie who stayed on the show despite not much in the form of fan base. Then we have the changing criteria of voting, just hours before Sunday show was aired....many have said that this was simply a dirty tactic to try to weed out Wagner from the competition.

Whatever the reason, I think it is important that X Factor don't abuse the Public's opinion in favour of their own agenda by changing criteria of the Voting System...this tactic was cleverly administrated by X Factor to work against Wagner. Although they claim it was to make the competition fairer, in the end it just makes it biased...sorry, but complete fail!

Where did you find this out? Horrid if its true right enough!!

@WagnerToWin Ofcom are apparently investigating X Factor, but personally I think that Ofcom are just covering their own backs. Little will be done and X Factor have an excuse for it too! They will literally play it down or reason it out as being harmless because Wagner was just a side line act, they didn't want him to win anyway.

Not saying am a fan, but I do appreciate fair voting system. If people are passionate to vote more than one, then they are real fans...plain and simple!

@TheAnoDomini .....at least were the vote-in-system is concerned it is a scam. But I feel that the rest of the show has honest intentions, but there is a darker side to X Factor and I don't like how we, the public, are being deceived into thinking that our votes are all counted. X Factor didn't even take into consideration that there maybe more than one Fan per household....creating the 'Multiple voting effect'.....

[IJUSTSUBSCRIBENOW]

@TheAnoDomini ....and this created a biased voting system. It may have been seen by some as a way to create an unbiased voting system, unfortunately, I don't know whether it was a lack of manpower or time, the other contestant phone voting systems were not altered...so their 'multiple voting' were all counted no matter how many times they voted!

I think Wagner fans shot themselves in the foot...but am not please by this type of fraud, it makes the show more of a scam!

[IJUSTSUBSCRIBENOW]

@TheAnoDomini I agree, but the problem is X Factor always have the excuse of 'Multiple votes being illegal in the competition', which is why they didn't count them. I see some reason behind this but other people voting in didn't realise that they only changed the rules for Wagner, as they felt that these fans were more dishonest than the others. In someways there is some truth to this with the Wagner fans.

But I can reveal that in reaction other fans of the other contestants did the same!
