I think so. Even the website says you can vote 20 times each day.

When I voted for all other things like the hex, everytime I voted it counted down and said how many votes left until 0. It never did that tonight. It just let me keep doing it until I realized I think I was over 20.

Yikes. They may need to start all over again.

Nah, they have an entire week for the voting to even out.

Statistically speaking, a few hours' voting out of an entire week is a drop in the bucket.

I guess it depends on the regulations, but if some people only can vote 20 a day going forward but they know that the early birds didn't have that limitation, they may argue it's unethical.

[SiobhanJW]

One of my friends just said:

"Imagine if Paul is sooooo overconfident that Josh will take him to F2 that he throws the F3 HOH to him because he doesn't want to evict Christmas and lose her vote that he's completely blindsided and Josh DOES evict him like he's been saying he would... I WOULD DIE" 

I don't think he would do this- but I could see it as he's been throwing the responsibility to evict on other people all season and Nicole didn't win the F3 HoH last year and still won.

Well... you have to sign in to a CBS.com account to vote, so I doubt they're counting more than 20 votes from each individual account on a given day anyway.

But it's fun to pretend.  :)

I feel so bad because I forgot about Mark. (I've not been paying a ton of attention lately). Cody winning would be hilarious in pissing off Paul, but Mark getting some love from the BB universe would feel like some good karma going around.

I hope Julie reads the top names off, and he manages to get in the top 3.

I have to tell you guys. One of my favorite things this year reading the boards has been everyone using every other holiday names when referring to Christmas. It makes me giggle every time, I've needed giggles lately so thank you for that. 

Also, I'm voting for Cody if only because his second exit was truly one of my favorite exits on any season of Big Brother. I would love to see Mark get it but I pretty much detest most of the other houseguests. I think Cody winning would get the same type of WTF surprise reactions like we got from Frankie when he didn't win and he was sure America loved him.

That's throwing it away. Might as well not bother.

[MrHufflepuff]

Eh, it wasn't a bother.  It took me 10 seconds to vote.

[Summerday]

I'm voting for Jess because I don't like Cody, he's too robotic for me. Although, I don't think my votes count because it lets me vote an unlimited amount. I threw a couple votes to Ramses too because I just hate the way Kevin made him the scapegoat for all of his actions. (The hinky vote, winning the 25K, etc.)

Were the feeds down before the HOH comp? Because it really looked like Ground hog Day and Kevin threw it. Stupid. Her crush on Paul is so cringe worthy, I'd be embarrassed for her if she weren't such a soulless shell of a human being. 

Welp, this horrible season is almost done, thank goodness. I hope they bring in some good celebrities for the next one. I'm expecting Youtube stars and Bravolebrities.

I don't think so . I suspect that Paul's mental gymnastics about "it's only a game," has even himself convinced. All though his "friendship" was part of his game play I do believe he needs  to be liked and admired by everyone around him. I think he will adopt a "game's over now let's all be friends" attitude. He might shake his head in puzzlement for a brief moment  but will quickly push past that and give Cody hearty congratulations in a "didn't we have a great game" sense.  To do anything else would tarnish his carefully cultivated  "all around great guy" image and he couldn't stand that 

[himela]

I'd like to comment on Alex's game. Alex had said from before entering the house that she would prefer if she didn't win this season and she'd come back next year and win. I think this is why she clinged on Paul because she was thinking Paul has all the means to take her and Jason to final three, battle it out from there and she would let Jason or Paul win, become the fan favorite (in her mind) cause she would be the one helping Paul to win and she'd return next year and win it. Alex was not 100% stupidly a minion imo. I think she chose to be a minion to reach her goal. We from the outside of course become frustrated with the mentality "nah I'm not gonna win this year, I'll win next year, I want to come second" but with the plan she had she made the correct moves to make it succeed, until Paul cut her.

What made this season bad was not the return of Paul and him taking the three weeks of safety etc in my opinion; It was that almost all players did not want necessarily to win. Paul knew the players who wanted to win and he eliminated them asap. The only person who really wants to win since Jessica left is Josh. Everyone else was having their own agenda (screen time, exposure, AFP etc). Josh has had a lot of fights though and ironically is what saved him in Paul's eyes.

Do you think Alex will vote for Paul to win or will she stay bitter till the finale night?

[JudyObscure]

When have so many people counted on, "coming back next season?"   That's just one more thing wrong with the show bringing back Paul and setting him up with benefits, now everyone plays like this is just a rehearsal for their starring season.

[Irishsecra]

Of the players left, I think Josh has the best chance to beat Paul. And he will take Paul out if he wins final HOH.

he was not a floater, won comps and was not afraid to vote out threats.

unlike Paul, he owned his moves even if he expressed regret.

unlike Paul, who treated people like chess pieces, lied in his good bye messages and always wanted to throw that pity vote.

if the jury is bitter and wants someone else to vote for, he is a realistic alternative.

also, if kevin is voted out tonight and is blindsided by Paul , he will be an incredibly bitter juror. We may see Jason levels of anger!

 Paul won HOH, Paul won POV, and cut kevin. Kevin has believed since Day 1 that his f2 with Paul is real. And if the shunning he endured for weeks is all for nothing, watch out.

paul really should have let someone else win POV.

Edited September 14, 2017 by Irishsecra

[ByaNose]

I'm assuming Kevin is going tonight. Does he think he's still a backdoor plan? I'm just curious how shocked he'll be tonight when he leaves.

[Lady Calypso]

It's kind of hilarious that he wants to take Josh to F2 because if Josh wins final HOH, he's not taking Paul. I can see how Josh's eviction speech will go:

Josh: This is the hardest move I've ever had to make. Both of you are so great *sniffle* and I love you both so much on a personal level. *sob* Christmas, you've been my girl from day 1, protecting me. Paul, you've been my boy and you've helped me so much throughout this game. This is a game move, though. *sob* Christmas.....I am so sorry....*sob* that I can't do what you want me to do. I know this game move is going to be the best for my game, and as a superfan, I know what I have to do so I choose... *sob* to evict you, Paul! I'M SO SORRY, BRO. IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL. I'M SO SORRY. 

[Lamb18]

I'm hoping that Kevin finds a way to survive this vote. Since it sounds like Paul won POV, there's only one way Kevin can make it past tonight and that is if Christmas votes to eliminate Josh. I can see her doing it as she's very ruthless and I think she used him more than she really likes him. However, if Paul tells her to vote for Kevin, she will.

I voted for Cody yesterday and will vote for him. He's got his flaws but I think there's a lot of good in him. I like how he praised his daughter's mother and wished the best for her. A nasty man would have said bad things about an ex in order to make himself look better. He'll shoulder the heat in order to protect someone he cares about. Also, I think that if he ever saw anyone in trouble, no matter what race, orientation, etc., he'd help that person out and not make a stupid video about it.

I sure hope so, but I have an awful vision of Kevin talking real fast, saying, " How are you Julie, you look  great tonight. I'm proud of myself for making it so far in the game.  Paul's a great guy.  I hoped he would take me to final two, but he's got to do what's right for him. Shout out to all my family, see you all soon."

I could be wrong, I admit I don't "get"  Kevin.  Here's a man who was 20 in 1980, carrying himself like a small time greaser of the fifties, overly  impressed by the tough guys and can't even remember the "girl's" names.

Cody was the one person that wanted rid of Paul, twice. Paul has little man syndrome, he will get the message loud and clear if Cody won favourite player! There's no doubt in my mind. Every move he makes, is for the camera, including taking Josh to the final. Josh acted like a damn fool on command, Paul knows that. So you bet I'm voting Cody, with hopes the bitter jury votes for Josh over Paul, Cody would be icing on the cake.

Holding out a teeny bit of hope that Paul timed the Alex eviction poorly. And that instead of giving her enough time to get over the betrayal and decide he played the best game, (like many jurors come to terms with), he instead gave *her* enough time to move past her sadness to bitterness and will find enough time in the jury house to really want revenge. And, she'll spread that bitterness everywhere in the jury house.

Give us the unexpected BB - a Paul loss. Then, for the rest of his BB life, he'll get questions like, "Paul, the game was in your hands all season long, how did you manage to blow it so spectacularly at the end.  And two years in a row. Why did you think you're a good player again?"

[RandomWatcher]

Last night Rachel tweeted that she thinks that Paul is one of the great BB players. Andy, EvelDick and others thought she was nuts.

 

And Jessica just tweeted that you have to an CBS all access account to vote otherwise you'll be able to vote more than 20x.

I am not convinced that they wouldn't ask Alex or Take your daughter to work day back in a future season.  Why not bring back someone who is hated by most?  

We better get a long clip of the jury house tonight.  I do think that everyone will have done a face palm once there and mad at themselves for being duped.  I can't see Josh winning but the vote will be close.  Well, maybe he could win. 

Josh= Alex, Jason, Elena, Mark

So you think Cody would vote Paul?  I can see him doing this out of spite, as in - "I told you that he needed to go but no one did anything about it, so here you go, Paul."  I just wonder how much sway everyone else might have on Cody when they tell their stories after slinking into the jury house.

If you're voting more than 20x it's because you have the wrong kind of account. Make sure you have a CBS All Access account! #CodyForAFP

 

So this means that feed watchers do have a large influence over who wins AFP.  Seems that casual viewers may not have CBS access.  I get it that some do because they want to be able to watch shows they missed on their site if they have no DVR or spaced putting something on there.  Seems odd to me CBS would do this.

He announced that Paul had his vote if he was in F2.  It is a statement showing his disgust for the sheep.  He seems like a guy who would stick to  his conviction.

I pay for all access, that is how I get the feeds.  There is a free trial if you have never had it.  That is an extra step in voting to sign up for that and it may stop many from bothering.  

[Callaphera]

Correct. You do have to be logged into an account on the CBS page but nothing there specifies that the person has to be an All Access subscriber. For shits and giggles I read the Terms and Conditions linked at the bottom of the AFP voting page. Nothing is stated about needing an All Access account.

Yes, someone actually sat down and read the terms and conditions. It was surprisingly short.

ETA: Where is CBS suggesting that you need to have an All Access subscription in order for your vote to count? I read the page linked above but there's literally nothing pointing to where CBS said that.

I am logged in and get un limited votes. Though I am not subscribed to CBS all access, just logged in to CBS account. When I vote I get the 'thanks for voting blah blah blah' pop up. I voted 40 votes today.

 

Terms and conditions does say that if you break the rules your votes can be disqualified. So I will only do 20 votes from now on. Maybe will set up new CBS account to do it since they may disqualify all my votes on current account. Seems like a way they can manipulate the votes. Sneaky.

Yeah, I tried it too and it bumped me to the log-in page. I managed to get the password right on the second try (in my defense, I haven't signed in there since last summer when I briefly paid for feeds) and only then would it count my single vote to Mark. 

Apparently I set up my address as the Museum of Modern Art in New York. I forgot how many hoops Canadians have to jump through in order to pay for the feeds. It's probably why so few of us bother.

Christmas will get rid of Josh without any problem at all. She is the biggest Paul minion of them all.

Trying to determine who was the biggest Paul minion is a real task. Matt, Raven, Christmas, Alex, and Kevin are all really giving each other a run!

If I decide to not be lazy and actually vote for AFP, I'm voting for Cody. I don't actually like any of these people, but Cody gave me all of the fave moments from this season ("I saw the snake. I didn't care." "Hold that thought." His stares. Walking over the table when leaving.), so he entertained me the most and all I care about is being entertained.

A part of me wishes Paul wanted Josh gone so I could give up all hope. 

It would be amazing if Paul took Josh and then lost to him. Honestly it would probably be my fave ending ever. But Paul is winning for sure. They're gonna bring Will (or Derrick) in there to tell the jury not to be bitter and that Paul played the game best and considering all these fools crawled up Paul's ass because he was a vet, they're definitely gonna give Will (or Derrick) what he wants because he's way more popular than Paul.

Anyone BUT Cody.  Bad enough one bad guy is winning.  Giving money to the other main bully bad guy just compounds the horror.

AGREED!  He was a major asshole in the way he treated some people, especially Megan, at the beginning.  At that point he was in the majority so we got to see who he was.  I rooted for him by default a couple of times because him and Jess were the only ones who wanted to get rid of Paul, but then I wanted to see him go next.  I have zero doubt that had he stayed in the majority, he would have been almost as awful as the rest of them.  I'm sure he's used to always being among the 'alphas' and if he takes one thing away from his experience, I hope that it's an understanding of what it's like to be the one who's shit on.  He was a complete condescending dick when he was at the top.  Fuck him. 

[nkotb]

Seriously voted like 200 times for Mark. If I hadn't had arm day at the gym this morning, I'd have voted 500. Even if they don't count, I want my votes to say that nice guys don't always finish last.

Mark may not win, I fully expect Cody will, but I legit think Mark will make top 3. I hate to say this, but I doubt that a girl will get anywhere near the top 3, but with this group of girls, I can't say anything about girl power, because I wouldn't vote for any of them. I figure the top 3 will be Cody (winner), Mark & either Kevin or Jason. I feel like Kevin has the edge, because Jason's rape jokes/comments have made TMZ twice, plus a national newspaper that I'm too lazy to look up, so even if you only saw the broadcast shows, there's a good chance you've heard about that. I don't think anyone else has been portrayed well enough to crack the top 3. The only outsider chance, in my mind, is Josh, because he was nice to Mark at the end, & he's shown his sensitivity & regret, especially about Jason, but that circus freak shit he pulled at the beginning won't be forgotten by most people.

ETA: I also don't think Jason will win, maybe not even make the top 3, because I don't think the producers want someone who jokes about rape to win (maybe even place), especially in a season where there's been tons of complaints about bullying.
