Your husband was behind by one vote, but my 4 e-mail addresses put him ahead by 3 points....and then someone else voted for him too!

Good luck!

I need your opinion; what do you all think.....

This contest is getting so ridiculous and it's so easy to cheat, which I have a feeling others may be doing. I could just sit at my computer and make up a bunch of email addresses, enter them in, and the votes will go up. I really don't want to do that, nor do I want to do it for the next 2 weeks until the voting is over.

Do you think we should call the sponsor and ask if they're going to somehow verify email addresses or what they're going to do to verify this is all legitimate? But then on the other hand I don't want to make a big issue out of it all because they could just cancel the whole contest.

What do you all think?
Do what you have to do. Last night at 3AM she was behind by 500 votes. Today shes even? No way. Shes cheating. The company dosent care. They are just collecting email addys. If you dont think people have cheated, even for your husband, you are being naieve.

Calling all GC'ers. WE HAVE TO HAVE MICHAEL WIN. Its up to us greeks. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN.

All right, I got all the email addresses in my house, my grandparents house, and a few of my friends (which I hope will be okay )

He's ahead by 38 votes right now, but I don't even think they're verifying email addresses - I haven't gotten a "click here to verify your email" message or anything

I'll continue to watch, and see if I can round up any additional support

I think that it's really cool that you want to do this for your husband. I voted with all five of my email accounts.

Also...for anyone who uses AOL Instant Messenger, did you know you get a free email account with it? If you want to vote with your AIM email address, just click on the "people" option at the very top of the AIM window, select "send mail" and sign in with your AIM screenname and password and it will tell you what your email address is. It's just another address you can use that is actually verifiable to vote with, and it only takes a minute or so.

Best of luck to you! I hope he wins

We'll just keep voting & asking people to vote. I've mentioned this contest a few times in my live journal asking for help from friends & I'll see if I can get some buddies from work to help vote too.

I used the e-mails addresses of 3 of my sisters, my fiance, & his brother. Michael is now up by 107 votes! I'll go through my entire directory w/all my e-mail addresses later tonight!

Thanks everyone for all your support! I guess I just needed to vent a little. It just frustrates me that you try to do something nice for someone, and then you realize how ridiculous the whole voting process is. It's just crazy that they make the finalists all fight it out. Maybe I am a little naive.

My husband and I had a long talk about this late last night, and we're just going to lay low for the next week, week and a half, then the last few days of the contest is when I think the votes are really going to be important. The last day or two I think are going to be crazy!!!!

Ok, I'm done venting. Thanks for listening and for all your support!!! You all have been so wonderful!! I think I'm going to turn the computer off for the weekend. That may help me get back to reality!!

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!!

The trick is to opt out of spam and just type in email addresses galore.

ex. ambicion6@whatever.com
then hit the back button and go ambicion7@whatever.com
and so forth til you get tired.

i did this like 30 times. so I m bored at work and im gonna keep doing this cuz I want your hubby to win and cuz the other lady whos in the running is fugly.

and you after submitting the first "real" email you dont get a confirmation or anything so it's not like theyre checking emails. just make sure to opt-out !!! or you will get spammed!!!
