Mssas I don't think its so frighting because I actually believe there are a whole lot less of people who "think his actions were ok", than those who don't think they were okay.
Its coming out more and more now as we enter into the 24 hour mark of the finale. The more articles I read today, the more and more the interviewers are holding them accountable.

People love polls when they are in their favor, when not, people feel polls aren't trustworthy.

I think this statement also applies to AC votes.

Beek yep, I would agree on that, and that's probably why BB didn't have an America's Choice this year.

Last year when they had it, I felt Janelle had definitely earned that from two years of involvement on BigBrother and an overwhelming consistency from the public that she was a favorite. But in terms of this season or other past season, there really weren't any other players, that I can think of that earned that title with the only exception of Janelle.

The 2 funniest things about BB8 to me was when

......they left the house for "sequester" they thought they were going to a tropical island (not that the house they stayed in was bad but I'd rather gone to that tropical island vs that house.

......that there was no "car" prize this year and they were expecting one. There really wasn't very many prizes this year so to speak of in MO.

they were expecting the unexpected and it didn't happen. lol

Mssas yes, though the only two people who absolutely expected the "car prize" were Dick and Daniele, none of the other houseguests did.

I'm glad Dustin won the 5000 plus the trip
I'm glad Amber won the extra 1000
I'm glad Eric won the 40,000
and I think Dick won the plasma tv too.

Cricket, you know I'm with you. And just because people like someone it shouldn't give them a free pass to abuse others.

Beek if you refer to America's Player, that was in a solely different context as compared to America's Choice for a favorite bb player.

Loppes...Every time, three times a week, when giving Eric his tasks, the show said: It's America's Choice.
America chose what they chose every week.
I feel that the people who found this "untrustworty" and "not fair" were those that were unhappy with how those votes turned out.

And I feel nauseaus, but that's another 18 threads.
Is it just me or could anyone else see Dick's head enlarging after each and every interview? Doorways be danged. It's America's new white bread. Yikes almighty.

I still like the poll and "feel" that people who find it "untrustworthy" were those who celebrate Dick.

I do not think anyone has a right to say any of us are untrustworthy just because we celebrate Dick. Dick is the winner and MANY trustworthy and wonderful people do support him and celebrate his win. I think it reeks of Amberism to somehow equate supporting and celebrating Dick winning with something dishonest or bad.
Everything is not alway black and white or good and bad. It's difficult to accept that others don't agree with a point of view but that does not mean anyone needs to somehow berate them to make oneself feel better.

I was thinking about the berating to make oneself feel better. It's very true.

Cmist, their has been quite a few posts on this thread bashing the poll and anyone who puts any stock in it, even going so far as to suggest that what anyone who is not a Dick supporter thinks doesn't matter anyway because Dick won.

And I think Chippy was responding to posters who have said that the poll was untrustworyhy because of who conducted it and that the only ones who took any stock in it was people who did not like Dick. And Chippy did not say the PEOPLE who supported Dick were untrustworthy, she said the people who supported Dick were the ones who found the POLL untrustworthy. Big difference.

Thank you, Allietex. What's good for the goose and all. And yes, that's exactly what I said, clearly. Big difference and in response to the claim that anyone who "likes" the poll results didn't "like" the way the AP votes went. I didn't even waste my time voting after the entire game quickly became a popularity contest and discounted Eric's game and position in the house. It was a joke IMO and one that got the intended results.

I realize now that I misread the post that prompted my thoughts several post prior. I sincerely apologize for posting in the context that I did. However, I do believe that we should not get caught up in any kind of berating of anyone for thier beliefs and ideas.

Andy Dehnart, who wrote the article, writes extensively on reality tv and has his own website "Reality Blurred". I've always liked his commentary and I think this is a great article. On his website he says he has been the target of a lot of "vitriol" from Dick supporters after that article. He was quite surprised by how vehement it was, and he's used to being disagreed with!

I don't put much stock in these on-line polls in general, but it sure is nice to feel like you have some kindred spirits out there.
