Wow, I can't believe I read this thread but that's the first evidence that the show really was bullshit, as I had somewhat suspected. But it's a clever strategy to get the vote as close as possible to hold the viewer in suspense. Do you have any evidence to substantiate this claim? If so, you're absolutely right, there was no way either person could have won by a wide margin with that setup in such a short amount of time (unless they had literally millions of physical phonelines for each contestant).
