It seems the winners aren't those from top 10...could it be from the most votes, rather than average?
I'm just curious! also, any imamother's kids there?

as someone mentioned, it must be last year's winners.
My son was also in top 10 and got displaced. but you had 2 sets of kids, and they were mamush top...I'm surprised...
but anyhow, regardless of who wins, micki, your kids were yummy kn'h!

oh, they fixed the winners list but very few were on the original "who's winning." if you email them or wtvr and ask, let us know what happened. Smile

I did email them asking htem what I'm supposed to tell my kids, who took this too seriously adn were so excited to see themselves!
why did they swap the winners, and change the scores?
strange- but check out shira! shes a cutie...

had you voted 1 time, she would've had a 5. Smile

yes, definately ask them.
of course, it's a good lesson for the kids that you can't always win, but the change in the scores were remarkable...the highest scores before were much lower...
Smile

we're all winners, right? Wink

but still good to know what happened?

Yep that doesn't make sense all the ones that were on the top of the list didn't win. What happened?

multiple entries from the same ip are removed. they do so only after the contest is over.

weird, almost none of them are top 10 ?!?

Mon, Mar 19 2007, 2:38 pm

many ppl were at top 10 cuz ppl voted for them more than once so they counted it as one vote that's why theyre different than the top 10

my computer wouldn't even let you vote more than once.
I didn't try to do it, - don't worry - just af friend was using my computer and tried to vote and it didn't allow it.
Are you sure that was the solution? And earlier there were no scores higher than 4...now #1 is over a 4...you think people voted low scores for them multiple times? I can't imagine, though you never know.

no, the computer didn't allow to vote more than once. none of my votes were from the same computer, they were all from family, friends, and clients. Very weird, I gotta say.
