HobbsofMI 16065 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-16-04, 11:31 PM (EST) "Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" As reported here on Fox 2 there is a scandal brewing with AI and power voters. The show admitted that there is a problem with “power voters”, people who have speed dialers and/or fast internet connections. These people have clogged the phone line and are affecting people who want to vote but can’t get through. They have no plans in changing the voting system for the current AI but in the future are looking at only allowing one vote per phone line or person some how.   Top

"RE: Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" pish I saw the same story on my local Fox affiliate in NC so it was apparently a Fox national story fed down to the affiliates. I was not impressed as it seemed mostly puff, full of empty platitudes while actually promising nothing in the way of action. i saw it as a ploy on Fox's part to buy a little time to just get this debacle of a season over with   Top

Nothing says tune in like a brewing scandal. One more of J Slice's Awesome Creations! "You don't need pants for the victory dance"   Top

bacon 2824 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 05-17-04, 10:33 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" You never see any complaints about this happening whenever someone that the majority of the audience dislikes gets voted off. Only when someone who's considered "talented" gets thrown off does this topic come up. What I'm trying to say is that it shouldn't be fair for any contestant, and it should be brought up with each week. I gurantee you if Jasmine is voted out next week that not one damn person will complain about the fast dial-ups then.   Top

"RE: Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" Whats to stop power voters from voting off good people to keep the bad ones around? Come in a stranger,leave a little stranger   Top

Breezy 18380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-17-04, 03:52 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" Power voting has been around since season 1. There was a big hubbub about it when Nikki kept sticking around. I'm more scared about the Detroit thing, please tell me you're not a Lion fan.   Top

lapinguina4 295 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 05-17-04, 03:57 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" i didn't watch the first season, but if they plan on having season four they need to do something to change the voting system.   Top

"RE: Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" According to a report on the Today Show this morning, some of those "power voters" are Internet gamblers tying up lines, etc. Cool new sig courtesy of Jslice o-   Top

ulalame 778 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 05-18-04, 04:36 PM (EST) 10. "So, text message." There is never any problem voting via text messaging. Anyone frustrated with the phone line situation just needs to readjust their thinking and vote that way in the future.   Top

okaychatt 2810 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 05-18-04, 09:04 PM (EST) 11. "RE: So, text message." <vote that way in the future. 1. Don't have text message feature. 2. Refuse to pay to vote.   Top

"RE: Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" I think we should all be allowed to vote for the person we want voted OFF, that would solve the problem, don't you think?   Top

moonlighting 2 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 01-04-05, 07:07 PM (EST) 17. "RE: Power Voter Scandal reported here in Detroit…" I found a way everyone can compete with the power voters. Here's a link to the web page. http://www.speedydialer.com/contests.html Tigerdirect has it listed for 299. At least I won't have to sit around and waste my time this year and I won't need to put a splint on my finger on Wednesday's.   Top
