I had a lot of trouble getting thru to vote for Bo.

Did you try all 3 numbers? I couldn't get through on 01 or 05, but when I tried 03 I got through with no problems. I ended up voting for him 50 times! (Seems like a lot to me ... though I know I'm a piker compared to some here.) OTOH, I am on the West coast and I didn't start to vote until nearly an hour after the show was over. That could have made a difference.

I'm on the East Coast and I waited till the half hour before starting to vote, to give the early starters time to clear the lines. If you on the West Coast got thru 50 times, and I on the East Coast only got through twice when making at least 50 calls....then there's a disadvantage to those calling from the East Coast.

As I said before, the voting process leaves a lot to be desired. No one can convince me that the vote wasn't decided in advance. The producers wanted Carrie to win. Simon told Carrie that her accomplishments put her over the top (can't remember the exact words, but I remember Simon's self-satisfied smug face when he said it.)

Da votin' is rigged, IMO.
