LOL. She's a very big fan of the show (not allowed to watch the live feeds though) and has her own opinions about each of the hg's. She's very vocal and this year...she likes Jeff.

Saw this over at Joker's and it looks like it's legit. The official rules state that only ten votes for CDT count both by text and online. You can only see this part of the rules if you cut and paste the rules. I cut and pasted them to post what it says here:

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.

I voted for Jeff online and the voting mechanism was fine. It still had Casey, and it had the caveat that only HGs still in the house after the eviction could win.

I would imagine that what happened was that after Casey was evicted, some moron at CBS.Com went to take him off the poll and messed the whole thing up, which is why Jessie's photo was in 3 or 4 spots, and other photos were over the wrong name and so on.
I went back there this morning and Casey is no longer an option, and all the names and photos are fine.

I think that since my votes were before the problem took place that they still may have counted, but I voted again just in case.

Over at the CBS.com BB forum, the poll now shows that Jeff has 80% of the votes, Jordan 10%, and the rest have either 1 or 2%.

Darclyte, you need to vote again. They have posted this disclaimer on the CBS site regarding votes cast before 9:20.

IMPORTANT NOTICE -- All online votes cast before 9:20 PM EST (6:20 PT) on July 30 have been disqualified due to technical difficulties. We encourage you to vote again if you voted during this time period. We are sorry for any inconvenience

I hate to be high maintenance, but can someone explain this to me since I missed most of the announcement?

How long will the winner of the Coup be HOH? Let's say Jeff wins the Coup but he got backdoored by Russell, is the winner of the Coup announced after the POV ceremony so whoever the winner puts up has no chance at POV? Can the winner of the Coup remove both players that are nommed? Also, do the hamsters know that we are voting on a Coup?

Lexie...the winner of the coup is NOT hoh. He/she only has the power to replace the nominations that the hoh makes.

I think! LOL

Jeff and Jordan are pleasant people. They are fun to watch. They are both very funny. Has nothing to do with their looks. Jessie is cocky and very rude to people. All jessie does is eat and sleep and complain. Not fun.

Amen! Totally agree!

I voted for Jeff as well.

Let's keep voting Jeff. I'm afraid Ronnie's wife will have a voting party and take the numbers if we don't just keep voting Jeff. I will love seeing Jesse and Ronnie's faces when it is finally out that Jeff was chosen by Us!!!

maybe I heard Julie wrong but I thought that the Coup Detat would be used on eviction night, last minute swap of nominees by the winner. No time for campaigning.

Lexie, Ronnie explained it all to Russel.. he told him the coup d'etat was used on the All Star season and America gave it to Boogey because he knew how to use it... and Ronnie is convinced America knows that Ronnie would use it wisely...

No, they don't know what the "secret power" is for sure, but Ronnie has been speculating fairly accurately.

They don't know that no one will get it until after the voting is finished--on August 4.

Maris, you are correct--it can only be used on eviction night right before voting takes place.
