This will be an interesting week with Katharine and Elliott in a dead heat to be booted, based on busy percentage, but with Taylor clearly getting fewer votes through dialidol.com. A system that disses its own service (successful votes) raises some questions, doesn't it?

It's also interesting that contrary to what I thought would happen, Katharine didn't increase her thin lead over Elliott (based on busy signal percentage) by too much as the voting moved west ... it did increase some but not too much. The bigger movement toward the end of the voting was some erosion of Taylor's lead.

The AI system of allowing a geographical/time shift seems fundamentally unfair, but I recognize that it's a difficult thing to resolve fairly for everyone.

Go Elliott!! I hope you make it through to next week, but it could be close.

Good point ... what's up with that, anyway? It's interesting to see how different the numbers are on each individual's phone lines. (For my liking, whatever happens, I hope it pulls in Elliott's direction.)
