Lisa thinks it may be a tie according to one of her conversations yesterday. Jason thinks it may be a tie, with Amy and Gerry as the swing votes. Maybe the fans will make the decision on this one. Who knows, eh? :)

Lisa only said it would be a tie so Dani didn't feel all alone.

However, I too am not going to pay to vote. I got the live feeds, therefore I feel I should get one free call out of paying for that alone. But noooooooo!

I say if you've paid for live feeds you should get one call! Hmmpht!

Not gonna do it. CBS got all the money they're going to get from me when I bought the so-called "uncensored 24/7" live feeds.

I just tried to vote but the lines are closed for voting. I thought we had until midnight Tuesday.

Sushi, midnight Tuesday just happened PST. 12:00am Tuesday morning. Midnight after Tuesday would be Wednesday.

I had to think about it myself. LOL!

Wendo, ROFL! Okay, I feel so stupid right now. I think this show and lack of sleep are making me crazy!

I just tried to call and it said... the are not taking any more calls, you will not be charged. I thought the phone lines were open until midnight, unless they already have a winner and don't need the calls??

Not wasting my money - Lisa's got this one
wrapped up. Probably 9-1.

Um... Tuesday at midnight is tonight.

Um... I'm 42 years old.

Today is Tuesday. Midnight is tonight.

Um.... Huh?

I waited until the last day to vote and called at about 3:00 pm Central time and they have already closed the phone lines down. Boo hoo.

Do you think that means that it is not a tie? I figured Cheap-BS would still take our money even though they know the outcome already. The jurors have voted already, right?

Lisad, Midnight is 12:00am for the next day. So, midnight tonight is Midnight Wednesday.

They closed midnight Tuesday, which was last night.

(I know, confusing. I messed it up too.) :)

Wendo! The sky is not green! Awww - You're just trying to freek me out!

If the voting was supposed to be UP TILL Tuesday at Midnight. You are saying that in reality we had till Monday at midnight.

I'M HAVING AN ON GOLDEN POND MOMENT!

Um guys? Isn't Tuesday at Midnight tonight? Tonight is midnight. Not yesterday?

Wendo my pal....

I WANT THREE OF WHATEVER YOU'RE TAKING. :D

Lisad, I know, they really should've explained it better imo. Say something like 11:59pm instead of midnight. LOL!

Lisad

Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 05:58 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Ahhh! But they said "voting ends Midnight on Tuesday".

That would mean that we should have up to and including 11:59. At the stroke of Midnight, it's cut off.

Am I to assume CBS has some convoluted thinking that Midnight on Tuesday is yesterday?

Count me in too Wendo, it must be some good stuff.
I tried calling last night befor Midnight ( that would be midnight Monday) and they were not taking calls anymore. Must not be a tie

Lisad

Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 06:07 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Momiee! Yes - history would be Midnight Monday. The future would be Midnight Tuesday. Midnight Tuesday was the cutoff time.

Wendo - Say it's Tuesday on New Years Eve. You are anxiously awaiting the stroke of midnight. Up till that time, all the way through 11:59pm, it's still Tuesday. Midnight is one second away.

BB said Tuesday at Midnight. That's tonight. :)

:) We should be able to still vote. I'm ticked! What are they pulling here. Not fair! I had my phone with an unknown 900 block on it. Had to wait till business hours to get it removed. It wouldn't work from my hubby's cell either. Grrr! Wonder what happened?

I'm not wasting my money on it. I really don't think there will be a tie -- or even a close vote.

Lisad, I feel your frustration...I really do.

Who knows what they were think! :)

Well, if that is true that they are considering midnight that way then why hasn't this come up before in other call in votes? Has anyone waited until the last minute to vote for any of the other call ins before? I'm really interested because I think this is a bogus interpretation since most consider Midnight as an ENDING of a day even if it might technically be a beginning of another (am I making any sense?) lol

Curious if anyone has pushed the midnight deadline before and what day it fell on.

I've never called so I have no idea.

Eden, I push the midnight deadline each year on April 15th! Deadline is tonight at midnight. Probably lines will be closed at 11:59. If they're not taking calls any more, I'd guess that it's not a tie so they don't need our votes.
