I wonder if Eric got additional money for getting others to vote for Dick? I hope he did - he deserves it.

Hmmmm...just coming back to this thread and see a very intriguing discussion going on here about voting times. Is this an East Coast vs. West Coast discussion? Just curious. For whatever it's worth, I live in Wisconsin and had no problem voting.

I never complained once about not being able to vote even tho I was in a voting time zone. I didn't complain because things went the way I wanted them to without my vote...LOL I was just mentioning how I couldn't vote for conversational sakes. I am in the KC area.

I'm just watching Housecalls now... do they only let "fans" of the guests on? So far no one has said anything anti-Dani/Dick.

Texts and internet voting counted for the final AP thing. Let's get it together people.

Oh, good Lord! I'm going to make a Let's Beat A Dead Horse thread, where we can continue this discussion and add in some AP and Donato conspiracy theories! Kidding, of course. This has been a crazy fun season, at least for me. I'll see you all back here tomorrow to re-hash some more BB8 stuff after we watch Eric on House Calls. I can't wait to hear what he has to say about his role in the house.

Leafsweetie- Every year this happens- cbs is very careful about who they let ask questions..I wish it could be more balanced..but it never is.

Rubyroo77 - I would love to see the HGs stutter and sweat, but unfortunately, we have to listen to how much they are so beloved by the fans. If CBS can cause controversy on the episodes, why can't we fans see it on Housecalls? What? Is Gretchen incapable of handling it? I'd say "nope".

One fact about voting you will not be able to dispute- whenever the entire country was able to vote for several hours it never went against the Donatos. The only time it did there were many parts of the country who could not vote, people had trouble getting through, and voting was for 15 minutes. Hardly an accurate vote compared to the others!

Yep, compared to the voting bots that were out at those long hours of time.

Accurate as compared to what "others"? I remember trying over and over to vote the week "America" supposed told Eric to vote Dustin out, and couldn't get through at all. Then suddenly people at other websites starting posting how they had used vote bots to place the votes for that one. The big issue is that CBS/BB whoever deals with the voting, does not have a secured way for voting. 1. They constantly allowed over their 10 vote limit per person; 2. They never publish the total votes and the breakdown; 3. It creates controversy and suspicion among the viewers. The method and software they use is very poor imho.

I appreciate every houseguest that puts themselves out there for us to dissect, judge, analyze and pick apart. I can't imagine exposing myself for anyone and everyone to watch for three months and then getting raked over the coals for it. Thank you to ALL the Houseguests...this year, and every year. And, boy, am I ever glad that I never voted. lol

I've seen where people have said that with the internet and satellite that everyone on the west coast had the same opportunity to vote as the east coast did but that simply is not a true fact. The show aired at 5pm on this coast, a time when most people are just getting off work or on their way home. So no they would not have the opportunity to vote.

The only 'accurate' way is a one to two hour voting time limit starting after the show airs on the West Coast via phones @ $.50-99 a pot. That ought to put those vote bots out of business. Obviously the AP was a bust and did the opposite of what it was intended for.

Cricket you couldn't wait to start voting until after the west coast show most people watching in the east would already be in bed. limited votes were used, it was checked by IP if someone want to sit and vote 100 times it didn't matter only the first 10 counted.
