But by asking for votes, we're defeating the purpose of this competition. |
I do not remember the spamming from any of the previous seasons. And people would have asked me to vote in Top Member 3 and 4, because I was semi-relevant during both of them. I feel restrictions will definitely go in place next round, like you said it would be awful if someone won this on wall posts. But I do not think that will happen.

25% of the opinion should go to the audience.
75% to the judges. 
Whoever gets most votes gets a good advantage, but most of the power still goes to the judges.

The thing is the public doesn't even know what they are voting for, I wish some of them had paid more attention instead of just copying and pasting what their first wall post told them to do.

Yeah, that's true. I love SiXo, but that was still just... too much. Atleast the way you did it, you told people what they were voting for and why they should do it. I just really hope I don't get eliminated for not asking people to vote for me. I decided to let people decide for themselves and if I win, I win fair and square.

I think what would be best is if, instead of asking people for votes like SiXo started doing (and Jwoww and I started to do after he did, though I included my song choices) we should just pm or wall post a link to the ROUND page that shows all the contestant's pictures, choices, answers, etc. for that challenge. That way each person can make their own choice based on those available.

Yeah. :[ I really didn't want to do it that way, and the thought hadn't even occurred to me until SiXo did it. I acted out of fight or flight pretty much. I think SiXo caught us all off guard.

I know. but still.
It's not like Angie is going to go and just ignore all the votes though just because they aren't 100% based on actual opinions.. but I think that 75% or so of the opinion should go to the judges.. because it'd actually be fair.

I don't know if I was around for the last season, but I don't remember ever hearing anything about spamming and wall posts (atleast not this early into the competition). So that's why I'm kind of shocked by all of this. I really hope there are restrictions. I think we'd be better off having maybe some random members chosen as judges for every competition, or something like that. While I do think it's cool getting the community involved, begging for votes is not the right thing to do.

It's okay, I completely understand! You were just ensuring that you would still have a place in this competition after this challenge is over. Again, I don't think you did anything wrong, I just think this was all a little shocking and so people did what they had to do. I just hope future rounds have better/different rules so the winner wins fair and square.

 I'd like to win fair & square too. It would mean so much more to win that way. I'm not about tricking people into voting... because then I'd be nothing but a fake. Top Members should be genuine, honest, and respectful.

Yeah after what I saw what was going on, you know, yeah. I only walled 3 people though, all of which at the very least like Miley and/or Selena, which personally was my goal. At least get people that have a chance of voting for me because of my choices.

Yes, same here! I'm hoping the judges will see our dedication and determination to win this thing, and will take all of that into consideration. And yes, I agree!

Does anyone know when the voting ends and when the elimination will be announced? Angelo said tonight, but when? Lol.

I was wondering when voting ends as well. Maybe Angelo meant that it will end tonight & he'll announce it in the morning?
