I agree with you. Jacob made a mistake. It happens. We're not making it any easier for him by interspersing the vote posts with all manner of debate. I feel sorry for the guy.

But a ruling is a ruling. Beautiful Child is out. TEFM is in.

Instead of writing what you want gone, why not do a poll to vote on songs...wouldn't that be easier? Talk about it in the thread, but vote in the actual poll. These threads are too confusing, like Cristian said, and I've been staying away, plus, I've been really busy lately.

Sorry bout that..

OK...I don't mean to start any controversy, but I have to speak my mind.

In reading what Jacob wrote, I really think that he meant to say that That's Enough For Me had more past votes. I say that because I don't think he would have said that it "has been officially changed" if Beautiful Child would still be the one to go. In that case, there would have been nothing to change.

ALSO, I think it has been proven that in previous Survivor threads we have looked at past votes from ALL previous rounds.

Well, I've gone back and counted the votes from all previous rounds and here are the results:

That's Enough For Me-11
Beautiful Child-7

So unless the rules have changed suddenly, it looks like TEFM is gone.

Don't mean to start trouble, but I just had to point this out.

He said "it has been officially changed" because when he miscounted, he had said TEFM was gone. So clearly, when he did the recount and realized he'd made a mistake, he posted again to set things straight. Why would he say there was a change if he wanted to say that TEFM was still gone? What you're suggesting doesn't make one iota of sense.

ALSO, I think it has been proven that in previous Survivor threads we have looked at past votes from ALL previous rounds.

If that were the case, then don't you think the guy who's been running this thing and has actually made the rules would know that? Clearly that is not how he has made these rulings in the past, otherwise he would have done so this time as well. Taking all previous votes into account, as opposed to the previous round would make no sense. As I pointed out before, if you take all previous votes, you are allowing individuals to vote more than once to break the tie. That wouldn't pass the smell test.

Let's just accept Jacob's ruling and move on. Why bring this game to a halt yet again?

Well, I'll vote anyway, and my vote for today's going to:

OVER & OVER.

[wondergirl9847]

Ovah and ovah

Come on, dude... take the advice I'm so often given, and lighten up.
I just thought it was funny that it seems controversy only erupts whenever one of Lindsey's songs is voted off (excepting the initial controversry when "Sara" was unceremoniously ousted).

Looks like a pattern, tis all.

Personally though, I thought the votes in ALL rounds (excepting the one that was discounted) were supposed to be included in a tie-breaker. Not just the votes posted in the previous round of this newest thread.

So, as Joe pointed out, that would eliminate "That's Enough For Me," not "Beautiful Child."

Personally, I don't want to see either go... I love both.

Oh, and SAVE "SAVE ME A PLACE"!!! Come on guys & gals, don't be cruel!

[shackin'up]

Bring over and over to the slaughter.

Would you have voted the sheer brilliance of that's enough for me out to save BC?

Johnny, you have a lot to say for someone who didn't even bother to vote yesterday.

Yeah, dumb me was waiting until near the very end to place my vote, and then I got company and I didn't have the opportunity.

Ah well.
