A few years back I worked for one of the companies that handled TV competition telephone traffic, and can assure you during the "lines open" period thousands and thousands of callers rang in, raising revenue for the TV production company and for the traffic company. Whether any notice is taken of the calls or if the result is pre-ordained is another matter.
We did watch the early "Voice" shows but got cheesed off with screeching female "singers"...why do these singers screech these days? not so much singing more screaming..
Gave up watching the programme, really don't care about it any more and don't miss it at all.
Experience; is something you gain, just after you needed it most.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.
