Voting on Reality TV Shows

So we all know that most reality TV shows have some sort of voting system in place.. We vote people in, we vote people out, we vote for people we hate to do trials, we vote for people we like to get treats..  Several years ago, shows such as as X Factor and Britain's Got Talent got into trouble for charging people too much for voting, and even charging them if they rung after the cut off time.

This week the BBC were complained about on Twitter as people couldn't get through to the voting line to vote for their favourite Sports Person Of the Year.

Remember that most institutons are commercial.  They are designed to make money.  How many programmes can you think of that ask you to ring or text in for some reason?

  1. Having read this I thought it was extremely informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this short article together.
    I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and leaving comments.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!

  3. The best current tv shows are out there to make money. That’s obvious, it’s not a non-profit venture so I don’t understand why people complain when they get charged for voting.
