Anyone who doesn't want Bowie to win should vote for him in force now. I consider him the odds on favorite with this group. If we ever want him out we better do it now.

Alrighty, I guess i'll give the -1 to zappa.

Alright, guys...you need to start sending your votes towards Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys, or else the Beatles and Pink Floyd will be going home!
-4 Pink Floyd
-3 Frank Zappa
-2 Roxy Music
-1 The Doors
It'd be a bummer if The Beatles get eliminated.
Don't forget that one artist will be voted back in later on in the game!
If the Beatles are gone before then, there is no chance Zimmerman will win that vote to return into the game!
-4 Roxy Music
-3 Elvis Costello
-2 Steely Dan
-1 Elton John
Those just are the 4 artists I enjoy the less on the remaining list.
I don't like all those "strategic" votes, I like AM when you vote for what you really like (or here dislike, or like else). If that trend continues, I will stop voting here, it is becoming completely silly and, I dare say, a bit hysterical.
I will always vote unstrategically in AM games, but in Survivor it's kind of part of the game and everyone else seemed to be doing it so I figured I might as well join in.
In most cases I hate strategic voting in these games. But, AM Survivor is the exception. I think AM Survivor is a game that encourages strategic voting. It's part of what makes it fun.
If you don't want strategy, don't call it 'Survivor'.
Is it possible for me to change my vote? If so, here is my new ballot:
4 - Public Enemy
3 - Massive Attack
2 - Frank Zappa
1 - Ramones
Let's not get too serious about this game people. So far it has been fun, especially because of the unexpected results.
Just vote whatever you want.
-4 The Beatles
-3 Public Enemy
-2 Elton John
-1 Ramones
Goodbye, Pink Floyd :(
Goodbye, Beatles :(
My #1 and #2 picks voted out in one week!
Although the results are ridiculous, at least the game is THAT much more unpredictable.
STRATEGIC VOTING BLOCKS WORK!!
(too bad I'm the only Beatles fan on here that wants to do strategic voting
)
Tweo things:
1. NEW RULE- No changing your vote. That is a real low blow, even if this game is about strategy.
2. I foyu want to keep you favorite artists in this game, DO THE IMMUNITYT CHALLENGES. Even if you are thinking, "It doesn't matter, they'll get back", the people that win the immune challenges get to decide.
-4 Frank Zappa/The Mothers of Invention
-3 Ramones
-2 Pink Floyd
-1 David Bowie
And save The Beatles!!!
Joy Division (-4)
Kraftwerk (-3)
Roxy Music (-2)
The Doors (-1)
This week's vote is now over.
Oh yeah, sorry about the delay, I was out partying with my girlfriend.
Nah, I just forgot.
