"CBS Ultimate Survivor Poll ???"
Is this the most predictable Survivor yet? Why else would CBS be giving us bogus poll results? Does anyone actually believe that Kathy is going to win this thing, even after episode one? Here are the official CBS results so far, before episode one and after the first episode.


******* | pre show | after E1
Gabe *** | 01.49 % | 1.28 %
Gina *** | 00.31 % | 0.29 %
Hunter * | 01.50 % | 1.26 %
John *** | 00.86 % | 0.73 %
Kathy ** | 29.92 % | 44.84 %
Neleh ** | 01.14 % | 0.98 %
Paschal * | 02.96 % | 2.54 %
Patricia * | 02.08 % | 1.76 %
Peter *** | 05.03 % | -----
Rob **** | 05.90 % | 5.02 %
Robert ** | 19.21 % | 16.27 %
Sarah ** | 00.31 % | 0.27 %
Sean *** | 00.59 % | 0.50 %
Tammy * | 01.05 % | 0.89 %
Vee **** | 19.14 % | 16.13 %
Zoe **** | 08.52 % | 7.25 %

These number are nowhere near anything else that I read here, or at any other survivor site. I think the real answers turned out to be very close to, if not exactly the same as the show turns out in the end. Would it be possible for us to also run this poll here, maybe we might find out what it is CBS is trying to hide from us?

If I'm way off base here, then lock or delete this thread. I just don't understand 45 % of the people thinking Kathy will win, while about 1 % or less think that Gabe, Gina, Hunter, John, and Tammy have chance to win. Those number do not compute.

1. "RE: CBS Ultimate Survivor Poll ???"
I find this quite interesting. Of the fifteen contestants who survived the first three days, only one had her rating increase. Of course that was Kathy who jumped from 30 to 45%. Her 15% gain was at the expense of the other fourteen, who all saw their numbers decrease.

During the last Amazing Race, there were some strange numbers at one point in time, but they were corrected a few days later as if it had been an error.

I think these are almost certainly inaccurate numbers, whether it is by design or by accident - who knows?

I noticed this too
However, near the start of last season, Brandon's numbers in this poll were well above almost everyone else (although not this high, more around 20-25% IIRC)
so i think its just a matter of Kathy fans flooding the poll, just as a large number of Brandon fans must have (or a small number of fans entering the poll many many times)

I dont think that there are 45% of Kathy fans. I agree, it must be an error. VERY WEIRD!

then, as i said, a small number of fans entering the poll many times

or maybe just Kathy entering the poll a million times to prove she's not unlikeable?

ROTFL

There are no other explanations other than Kathy entering the site a million times and voting for herself. I don't think it's a computer error coz when I went to the CBS site the other time, the "Interesting Stats" section confirmed that Kathy was viewers' no. 1 Ultimate Survivor. Hey... maybe enough people thought that she'd be like Tina.

I agree that this is way off base. Is it possible that when people voted for this - they entered the name of the person that they believed would be the next voted off? 45% for Kathy would make more sense in that context.

I think the real cause of the crazy poll results (#1 Kathy, #2 Robert, #3 Vee) is some enterprising hacker/Survivor fan that wanted to goof on the show. It would not be that difficult to write a program to dump (seemingly legitimate) votes on these three unlikely winners. CBS has no choice but to either pull the poll, or report the results that they got.

Think about it, Kathy was picked 36 times as often as Hunter??? 155 times as much as Gina??? I don't think so.
