Voter Disillusion Spreads To TV

Millions of reality television fans expressed their total disgust with the democratic process, as they heard the news that all three couples in Strictly Come Dancing were allowed through to next week's final after a tie in the judges' decisions effectively nullified the viewers' votes.

"It's a bloody fix innit?" said one former fan, speaking for many. "If voting changed anything, they'd ban it."

Angry fans were divided on the way forward, however. Some favoured anarchy, with all dancers performing simultaneously until they individually decided to stop dancing and do something else. Others said that what was needed was the emergence of a strong, no-nonsense leader who would simply tell people which dance couple was the best, and execute the rest.

One older viewer, who suggested that each pair should dance to the best of their ability and be awarded prizes according to their needs, was laughed at by all the others and told to wake up to the reality of reality shows in the 21st century.
