Yeah, we're falling majorly behind. It's frustrating to vote and only see one or two other people voting with you when it's the middle of the day or early afternoon. I'd understand it if it was the middle of the night but come on!!! LOL ETA: Taylor - 180,284 Vanessa - 179,625

QUESTION: Does Vanessa need to win this round to move to the finals? Or just do well in this round to move on??

Yup, it can be frustrating. Hope that it won't have lost too much ground by 10 tonight. Too bad the gals weren't able to do today what they did yesterday afternoon. That was incredible. The other team really is organized. Time to regroup...I am off for several hours now.

I know it's frustrating....the girls have class and most work as well...it's hard to coordinate...I am on now again. Hope it starts to pick up by tonight again....sigh... and yes, as per my knowledge, she has to win this round to move to the finals which is after rounds 2, 3 and 4. We vote as a team tonight from 10-midnight....scattered until then. I might do some random 2am or 4am voting or whenever I wake up in the middle of the night...

Out of curiosity, I clicked on last years results and saw that there were 7 girls in the finals. A little googling found that the winner of each round went to the finals, along with the girl receiving the most votes from each conference that did not have a winner during the first 4 rounds. In fact, the 4th place girl from round 1 made the finals because she was the highest vote-getter from the Big 12, while the 2nd and 3rd place girls from that round were eliminated. My guess is that they will target 6 girls in the final round, so the loser between Vanessa and Taylor will likely still have a chance to move on. Another interesting item from 2005 was that they had to shut down the finals vote, throw out the results and start over due to suspicious voting patterns. The vote was restarted and required people to register and you could only vote once a day per IP address. Obviously there seem to be no voting restrictions this year.

Very interesting Bob! Perhaps they'll have people register when it comes time to vote in the finals though. Thanks for all that research.

Hey Danz and all, I'm sorry but I think I'm going to bow out for a while. Danz I'll check back and see if you get the girls organized for another voting marathon.

WOW BOB!!!! thanks for that tidbit...when this round started the 5 digits did not come out but both camps voted anyway. About 12 hours into it, they threw out a bunch of our votes and theirs..I guess the ones with no digits. No voting restrictions this year yet. In the beginning I thought they might had some kind of bot but if they do, they are cleverly using it because at night there is generally no voting. Biloxi....and everyone..our next organized ones are: tonight 10-midnight 9/20 -7pm-9:30pm 9/21 2am & a couple for 4am THANK YOU all for the support. How can I ever repay you all???????????????????????

I've voted more than a few times. The votes are SO close between her and Taylor, I can't imagine they both won't advance. One would hope! Vanessa is darling. I should be so lucky as to have her legs!

Last week on Tuesday I noticed something was not right about the voting: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 - 10:47 am Hey there's something fishy with that counter. Vanessa's was up to 130, 998 and went down after I voted. Taylor Yates (SEC) 131,729 Vanessa Marrero (Sun Belt) 130,995 ?????? That happened several times.

that's odd! I have been keeping tabs every morning of the count. Thanks for the head's up about some of the votes going down. hmmmm You are all welcome to the party tonight- they are meeting at 6:30pm and will drive to the computer lab. They should be there anytime between 6:45pm-9:30pm or later if they get all into it. But I must confess that I feel , well I KNOW, that you have all helped me make a huge dent in the other camp's votes during the day. It is clear the team comes together at night to work on this since they are in school & work during the day. If you all were not helping us during the day, the spread would be much much bigger!!!!! I am so glad I found TVCH 5 years ago!

Are you asking where we posters are from, Danzdol, or is that a rhetorical question? Let's just say that Vanessa is winning in Maine. LOL! ETA: I liked your song...much better than "he-e-eave hooooooo."
