7. Sounds fishy
It seems that there was something fishy going on with the voting in Oprah’s
Next TV Star competition. The second place woman, Dr.Phyllis, received
300,000 votes in a span of 20 minutes, moving her into 1st place, and calling
into question a conspiracy against Zach Anner. Geek-o-system seemed to
have found a change in the woman’s voting code that differed from the
other contestants. As was tested, the woman would receive 2 votes for every
1 vote that Zach got. The code was changed back shortly after.
