With all of that said, do not underestimate the ability for people not in the top 25% to rocket into the top 10 on the last day. Scores are based on an average of overall voting. People at the bottom tend to have fewer votes, so it only takes a few super votes to transform their scores and push them into the top 25% or even the top 10 contestants. Nothing is secure for anyone going forward! Voting will end on July 14th at midnight!

When we launched on this venture, we set a lofty goal of reaching more than 1,000,000 viewers throughout the course of the audition process and the show its self. These numbers are very important to us because they represent the value we can pass on to the sponsors who have made this show a reality.

I received a note from Ronda a few days back about an article her local paper printed about her participation in Top Affiliate Challenge. When I was making a run for Next Internet Millionaire I took every opportunity I could to get in the paper, on the radio, and on every podcast I could find.

We have detected everything from a rotating IP robo-voting script (and yes, we have identified the male contestant who deployed it) that was submitting thousands of votes each day to the individual user clickon on their own vote button every hour or so.

The Jeep Patriot is the replacement for the Jeep Cherokee. Its a pretty fuel efficient vehicle (for an SUV). Russwood is also going to provide each team on Top Affiliate Challenge a minivan to shuttle them around Lincoln on the various challenges that will take place.

Please be patient while we address the issue into the evening tonight.  I will let […]

Please do not infringe on the rights of artists in your videos. If you have a video online right now that does violate a copyright, I would strongly suggest you upload a newly edited version of the video ASAP so your audition stayts in the system’s rotation in case Revver finds and pulls your video.

First, you may have noticed a new “Statistics” link above the videos on the user pages. We always intended to make the voting process transparent. We want people to know they can trust that the voting is accurate and there is not behind the scenes manupulation going on.
