Is it possible to hold a reality competition anymore that doesn’t end in allegations of a tainted voting process? The Daily Mail reported that the “Britain’s Got Talent” contestant Susan Boyle may have been denied the votes of television viewers, based on YouTube clips that showed incorrect telephone numbers displayed during Ms. Boyle’s final performance on the show. In a stunning upset on Saturday, Ms. Boyle, the church volunteer and amateur singer, placed second to the dance troupe Diversity. The Daily Mail said that on the YouTube clips, the phone numbers for fans who wanted to vote for Diversity were mistakenly displayed as phone numbers indicating votes for Ms. Boyle. A spokesman for ITV, which broadcasts “Britain’s Got Talent,” told The Daily Mail: “We are satisfied viewers had ample opportunity to know which voting numbers to call.”
