>Of course the call volume went up dramatically. That does not mean that lines for Clay were "shut off."

We have four of us here. Three of us wanted to vote for Clay and one of uus for Ruben. It took a total of about 150 auto-redial calls for three of us to register three votes. It took the one Ruben voter ten tried to get through with a vote for Ruben. Meanwhile, Rubens brother admitted to voting 350 times. How?

Perspective everybody.. It's just a show. I'm reluctant to buy into the conspiracy theory.

I think Clay is MUCH more talented, but the people voting don't necessarily know TALENT. THey are average normal everyday people, and the big teddy bear guy won their hearts.

Clay is much better off out from under the "strings" as someone posted last nite .. I'll follow his career.

That I couldn't answer. I know that a lot of it is based on random luck. How the lines are laid out, how calls are switched at the main hub, where calls are coming from, etc. etc. If the vote had gone your way, would you be so quick to think it was fixed?

It really doesn't matter either way. Both will do very well. It's just a TV show. The Bilderbergers have bigger fish to fry.
