Pagal | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 07:25 am     Maybe we've had it wrong all along that Ruben was ahead of Clay in votes each week. We hear Ruben to win coming from all directions but isn't it possible that the judges may be trying to raise the votes for Ruben because he's trailing Clay? They never ever tell us who gets how many votes and Ruben was in the bottom two that one time. Just food for thought. |
Sadiesmom | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 08:32 am     I always thought Clay had more votes. If all lines were open all the time, it would be a landslide. He has the most fanatical fans. There are people informing people how to purchas text messaging just to get votes in and they are willing to spend money. You have to look at how many web sites there are. 15,000 (not quite, just seems that way) for Clay, one for Ruben. I am not saying Clay has more fans, just more fanatical fans who are willing to sit and dial over and over for 2 hours. Some Ruben fans will do that and some realtives. If the votes were close this week it was just because the lines were tied up. |
Meme9 | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 08:35 am     Great Link Wcv!!! Monday sounds fun. |
Readonly | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 08:39 am     MSNBC Poll Results: 55% win for Clay, 45% win for Ruben! |
Walker | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 09:09 am     LOL prisonerno6..you got me on that one..and ita. |
Bettyrubble | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 09:12 am     What a WONDERFUL story Wcv! Thanks for sharing that. |
Realfan | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 09:41 am     Now I worry that we'll become complacent because of these great polls, and knowing Simon will sign him regardless. I still want him to win over Ruben because he'll get more attention that way, a better springboard to his career. So VOTE! But it's still awesome that Simon plans to sign him anyway!! |
Cassie | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 10:41 am     Realfan, I tried voting for Clay last Tuesday. I tried for over an hour and a half and got ONE measly vote in. What's the deal with these phone lines anyway? If there are far too few lines to handle the volume (as it certainly seems to be) then I can see the person with less fans getting the most calls in. I could just picture millions of us throughout America hitting the phone at the same time and getting nothing but the busy tone for Clay on Tuesday night. I won't go through it again personally, but I do hope he wins. |
Walker | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 10:43 am     i'm certainly going to give it a try. |
Happyfeet | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 10:45 am     Hi Claymates, Since I've been offline a few days, I've had fun catching up on your posts. I want you guys to know how loyal I am to our Clay: The night of the eviction show, I was deathly ill. Did that stop me from voting for our boy? No way! I took the phone to bed with me, dialed my fingers off for the two hours, then totally collapsed for the next two days! Anything for Clay! I thought he did a stellar job last week, despite the criticism for "Vincent" (which I found to be unjustified). Clay, Ruben and Kim are all talented and deserving of record contracts and I wish them all the best! For Clay, though, sick or well, the fingers will keep dialing Tuesday night. GO CLAY! To all you Claymates: Have a great weekend! |
Tishala | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:09 am     Lotsa love to you Claymates who have been sending all the good wishes to the Rubin fans! You people are so nice you almost make me wanna convert! |
Djgirl5235 | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:14 am     HIYA HAPPYFEET!!!! You are definitely dedicated!! I hope you truly enjoy the shows this week!! Rest up and take care of yourself!!!! Love ya! Deej |
Happyfeet | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:23 am     Deej hi! I was getting offline and found your note. Thank you, fellow Claymate! I can't wait to read your AI article contribution, too! Yes, rest will be needed for us all. We need to soak our fingers and do limbering exercises for the big night! I wish we all could be together to enjoy the show next week. Folks would hear us around the world! To Tishala, what a sweet note! Convert! Convert! Just kidding; we know you're devoted to Ruben and Ruben is sensational and I wish him well! Both our guys will soar in the music biz! As for Clay: |
Fluff | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:26 am     LOL! |
Hermione69 | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:38 am     We're a happy family! We're a happily family! We're a happy family! Me, Clay and You! |
Hermione69 | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:40 am     Psssst, Happyfeet so glad you are better. And Deej, we've had 10 classes on the library schedule today, DOUBLE our normal number, AND I had to set up to videotape a Holocaust survivor who came to speak to our sophomores, AND I had to dub a copy of the tape after he was done. I'll email this weekend. I am wiped out and we still have over an hour to go! GO CLAY!! |
Sadiesmom | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:43 am     Hermione, Did you see my link on the previous page? |
Hermione69 | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:46 am     Hi Sadiesmom, not yet, but will soon. It has been a rather frazzling day... THANK YOU for the link. I know I will love it! |
Djgirl5235 | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 12:00 pm     Hi Guys!!! I don't know what happened to the article. I will check back tonight and if I don't see it then I will email the mods at the other board to find out what happened - it could just be that the other two guests didn't send their comments in... people!!! SOOOO reliable!!! |
Chiparock | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 04:52 pm     Hi everybody I haven't "seen" since Survivor 5. I've tried to get my obsessions under control and thought I had regained some sanity with S6, which overlapped women's college basketball (my gals won another NCAA National Championship, back to back with 2002!). No more games to attend, but having discovered eBay, WHOOPS! Back on the merry-go-round. Then along came American Idol 2. And Clay Aiken. Helloooo, obsession! But to get to the point: I had better luck getting through on my landline than on my cell phone (2 hours of calling for Clay, about 30-40 votes). Can a text vote be sent with a non-ATT plan? I have Cingular and a Nokia 5165 cellphone. If it's possible for me to send text votes, please let me know and I'll practice for Tuesday! Now I have to Claytonize my fan ensemble for the July 18 show that I have a ticket for. |
Chiparock | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 04:55 pm     Guess I'm out of practice:  |
Djgirl5235 | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 05:06 pm     Chiparock!!! Welcome back! Good to see you!!! You have to be an AT&T Subscriber in order to use the text messaging to vote... but your votes on the phone are GREAT!!!!!! Glad to welcome you to the Claymate club!!! *You know, I just can't seem to be able to call myself Clay-nadian...lol |
Sadiesmom | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 05:35 pm     OK, here is the WRAL CLay links Clay video I can't seem to get into a few of them, but the shopping one is hysterical. He does have quite a sense of humor and is willing to torture his stylist. |
Llkoolaid | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 05:54 pm     Hey Chiparock, nice to see you are back. Hope you stick around for Amazing Race. |
Chiparock | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 06:28 pm     Thanks for the warm welcome back, Dj and Llkool. I won't be around for AR; the first season was such a dreadful one with that nasty Team Guido giving sweet Nancy such a hard time. And the ending was painful in that Margarite and her estranged hubby were SO close and lost to the lawyers. A win might have brought them together again and made a better life for their child. I found, too, that I can't handle (or watch on tv) quibbling pairs, whether they be spouses, family, friends or partners. Group dynamics alà Survivor and Big Brother keep me interested, even though I'd like to muzzle some of the contestants and get the producers to sign real people, not aspiring actors, actresses, and screenwriters. It would be great if they would tell folks that if they have an agent, they won't be invited to participate. But they seem to be going in the opposite direction, unfortunately. But I'll still watch any Survivor and Big Brother they produce, and see you all then. |
