They were claiming earlier that it goes like this:
- because the two girls got the same top score, they came joint first - therefore, the boy would absolutely, definitely be in the bottom two, regardless of the phone voting. Say girls have 10 points each and he has 8. He comes first in the phone vote and gets 10. One of the girls comes last and gets 8. Other girl is first (19 points), and the boy's in the bottom two regardless. - therefore, anyone voting to save the boy would be wasting money - also, the BBC didn't foresee this possibility, somehow.
