I was going to mention this in a thread but I didn't want to rock the boat. I'm glad you mentioned it because I noticed it last night too. Devil Inside was #2.
We forgot to run the vote monitoring system before we calculated the votes last night, and we chose to run it this morning for consistency's sake. We are working to make the process automated. Sorry for any confusion...

Well what kind of excuse is that? :)
I know you work hard, Drew, and I won't give you a hard time on everything. I was just trying to make sure I was not going crazy.
Last night I thought hey third place not bad at all,.. then I wake up to " uh what just happened? am I crazy?" (thats another question) Well this was the hardest challege by far and the scores reflected that,.. congrats to everyone who submitted an image!
patella...that photo getting that low is a criminal act....criminal. I actually thought this was arnits shot (although arnits shot last week was another good one.
I was thinking the same thing this morning ... granted i checked it late (errr 2 in the morning after a night of clubbing - but i didnt have anything to drink - was just tired) .. anyways ....
Yeah i went from 7 to 9th .. but I'm still happy - thanks to everyone who voted and helped that :) This was my best placement yet!

From the site rules: "Voting patterns are also autmatically monitored. Users whose vote patterns suggest an intent to unfairly disrupt the system will have their votes ignored. "
VMS (vote monitoring system) is what marks these (very few) individuals' votes to be ignored. It is usually run approx. 5 minutes before the end of a challenge, so users will often see their vote counts and averages slightly jump.
