Niceguy | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 02:46 pm     I didn't understand that. But maybe that's part of the new changes in the game. But in the past players like Jeff V. and Clarence were held back by those prior votes. |
Kitt | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 03:15 pm     I'm not quite sure what you mean. In the past, they've only looked at previous votes cast if there's been a tie. Last night it was 5 vs 3 against Ken. |
Fruitbat | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 03:41 pm     They stopped having previous votes count last season, I assume it remains the same this year. And that is only in the event of a tie anyway. |
Shortnsweet | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 04:03 pm     Previous votes only counted in S2. In S3 they had a quiz as a tie-breaker and in S4 they used the different colored rock as a tie-breaker. |
Misslibra | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 04:44 pm     Oh, I didn't know they had stop counting the previous votes either. Good thing for Ted. |
Tabbyking | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 07:35 pm     yeah, short--that's how paschal ended up out... that damn purple rock! seems like when it was a tie, they all had to take a rock? because i don't remember him even being one of the two who tied in the vote! (?) |
Seamonkey | Friday, November 15, 2002 - 08:05 pm     Hopefully they have dropped the rock this season.. along with the lame option to give away immunity. |
Niceguy | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 07:24 am     Nobody gives away immunity, what, are you nuts?!? |
Car54 | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 07:37 am     Especially not this group. These are NOT selfless people. I figure they won't tell the penalty for a tie unless one happens. Keep them guessing. |
Jeep | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 10:33 am     In the episode where Ghandia was talking to Helen about voting Clay out instead of Ted, she mentioned that if there were 3 votes for her and 3 for Clay or Ted, then it would come down to a 2 minute conference and the rock in the bag. I don't know if this was just an assumption on her part or if it's really the way it would play out in S5. Regardless, I'm glad previous votes don't count, but I don't like the rock in the bag either. Puts everyone at risk. |
