<<--- Trying hard to control my laughters so I could type!
I am laughing so hard cause I heard Michele (5pmBBT, yesterday?) calling Jordan "a llittle leaky" when she and Jeff were "feeling each other out"(thanks to Mummy, another giggle).

Okay, I came here to ask for clarification. I don't know enough about computers, first of all. I have read enough also that I believe CBS has a way to only accept ten votes from each IP. ?(Whatever the IP means.)

My two daughters home from college each has a laptop "WiFi" or something to the net through my Road Runner service. My question is that, would they all be showing up with the same IP#?

On my computer, I use more than one browsers. (IE, Net, FireFox) Would different IP show up when I use different browsers? (I think that's what they're called.)

Thanks in advance, I'm sure lots of you could help me on this one.

Spunky....Julie said the nominees could be replaced at the last moment. Not that two would go home.

Chy...thanks for the info on Jeff. I dunno about the voting thing. I leave the voting to others. lol

Chy, my dh says they will almost certainly count as coming from the same IP address, so only 10 votes total from all of them would go through. (Assuming CBS uses IP addresses to limit votes.)

A different browser definitely won't make them able to vote more, again, assuming it's IP that counts.

eta: this is what it says at the site:
Text voting is also available for $1.00/text message vote plus standard message rates apply. Maximum of 10 votes per cell phone. US residents 18+ only. Fees will appear on your mobile bill and will be charged according to your wireless terms & conditions & plan rates or be deducted from your pre-paid account. Votes will be accepted until 11:59PM PT Tuesday, August 4, 2009; Send HELP to 81818 for more information.

It doesn't mention limiting online votes, only text votes... can't see any mention on other pages about limiting by IP address either

A friend of Casey's at his uselessforums website made a Jeffbot.

He's also skeptical of the claim that only 10 votes will count...something to do with the coding should cut off votes after 10 if true?

Thanks, Kitt.

Some one posted this at Sucks explaining the rules. I can't find the page it's from yet. But may be you all could.

3. Big Brother Description: During the Voting Period, viewers of the Big Brother television program will be asked to interact with the show by answering a poll type question related to the Big Brother television program. The announcer will invite viewers to vote either by sending in a text message on their text messaging capable mobile phone or by going online at www.cbs.com/bigbrother. There is a maximum of ten (10) votes using the text message method of voting and ten (10) free votes online.

I didn't see that page, the quote I copied was from the page you actually vote on.

The "ten free votes online" could be measured by IP address or just cookies. Or no measuring at all. As it's free I'd just vote as much as I felt like it, just in case!

Yeah, that's where it comes from.The 3. and all!

I posted about those strange ghostly words some where else. But the ones I picked up said something about "Voting has ended this week". Probably the one about what kind of food for Slop-eaters.

Chy I missed your post about the ghostly words and thought I found something original, lol. The real question is why the mystery? Just spell out the online voting rules CBS.

Maybe CBS gets paid from advertisers based on the number of hits they get. They could choose to only count 10 votes per person (or IP address or cookie or whatever) BUT if people keep coming back and voting over and over, their hit count would rise and that would make them more money from their on-line advertisers.

There is an ad on the page you vote on, so every time you go to that page you are racking up one more "hit" for that page.

Just a thought....

Thanks SanFran! It does always come down to the almighty dollar. I was thinking of the bandwidth costs and didn't factor in the ads.

That has to be it! SFJF is onto something!
So the one really got cheated is the advertiser!

I was thinking the whole thing about reading the fine print. This was not even fine print. It's ghost!

I'm glad it's finally explained.
But I think there could just been some dumb glitches. Remember the debacle of having Jessie's smiley three times? Not only that, the whole page was covered with grey color fine prints explaining the rules. I felt like I was completing a BB's task finding the correct circle to place my votes.
I'm glad they decided to recount votes after all was fixed.

Did anyone ever start up a Fan Club thread for Ronnie? I didn't see one. I was just curious as to how many posts it would have.

Might be a great place for people who can't stand large crowds.

Bowl, I think the only thing that would be going on in a Ronnie Fan thread would be the sound of crickets.

Jeffbot from a casey friend....last post on p. 228

http://www.uselessforums.com/showthread.php?t=10359&page=228

They expect Casey to be posting in the thread soon (and other threads on that site..) I think I remember Rosem registering there???

Some of the posters are going to a party for Casey on Monday nite (8/3) at a bar called Gators.

I wish CBS would make the voting rules clear. I have a sneaking suspicion SanFran is right...

Did Kevin get an extra day on slop, for eating a grape or a chip, because Jessie and Natalie complained to BB?
