Victoria's Secret Contest

[NoBill Lurker]

Is it possible some former disgruntled contestant is messing with her numbers to get her kicked off?!

That what I was thinking my self.  

As of now she's up to 266,781...and is in 2nd place, with 1st at 309,848 and 3rd is only at 4836

That was the # it gave me this morning. I've been updating the page and it doesn't change. Strange.

Unless that initial post asking people to vote has gone viral, which is fairly easy to do with something so very moving as this sort of thing.  Once it reaches critical mass it will be hitting literally hundreds of thousands of inboxes every day, if not more, and if even 1% of those people vote it's enough to make the numbers skyrocket.  Holiday weekend means lots of people at home to check their email, also. 

I sent it to 35 women, who each sent it to their list, and so on...

I met Casey!

And she is the most adorable, lovely young woman.  We sat next to her at one of the shows.  She had her hoodie up, so at first I didn't recognize her, of course, we weren't looking for her, so I didn't expect to see her.  My husband was on my left, and when I went to talk to him, I glanced past him and at the same time, Casey turned her head to speak with her girlfriend, and I realized it was her.

So I jumped up and went over and asked, "Are you Casey?" and then I told her about the posting on this board and how everyone was voting for her, and she was so appreciative. 

She is the bravest, most courageous young woman, and utterly charming.  Please continue to vote for her.  Since this thread is several pages long, I'm reposting the website.

It wouldn't allow me to vote... is the contest over?

BTW, Casey is in FIRST PLACE!

[Rapier Half-Wit]

I just went to vote for her and the 'vote' button is gone. And there's nothing on the page to indicate that the contest has ended. I have tried this in both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Can anyone else confirm this?

[RenRobin]

I got the same thing, but she was the first picture listed on the Loved page.

Post subject: CASEY HAS WON!Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2009 12:28 pm 

So here's the deal: I am AWESOME and beat up the internet. I found the posts where people were admitting to spamvoting Casey and emailed them to VS, got brushed off so called my lawyer.

But in the end, they froze the vote to sort the real ones from the auto-generated ones. Today, they ended the contest (a week early) due to the tampering, and have posted the final results.

Casey has won by a margin of more than FIFTEEN THOUSAND LEGITIMATE VOTES, 26k to the 10k in second place.

You guys did this. You and everyone else who shared the link, the story, the support. Each and every one of you have impacted the life of this beautiful young girl, and we can never express our gratitude for it,

So on behalf of Casey, myself, and our family, from the bottom of my heart...

Thank you.

Love,
Vox

I just go goosebumps!  Huzzah!

[Anna Iram]

Well that's just wonderful. I'm glad VS was able to fairly determine the winner and I'm glad it was Casey.

[dbaldock]

I'm so glad they were able to sort though and throw out the fraudulent votes, to arrive at a valid and correct result.

It's really good to know that Casey Won!


Take Care,

[Lady Christina de Pond]

i agree I'm glad she won and the people messing with the votes didn't succeed

[lady M]

Sooo happy to see that Casey has won.
