Week 2 - Ford Poll

[TeamBlueOval]

Things get tougher this week as we have to eliminate TWO more Ford drivers.

David Ragan
Greg Biffle
Matt Kenseth
Carl Edwards
Marcos Ambrose
AJ Allmendinger
Trevor Bayne

Choose 2 to eliminate.

Poll will close on Friday, December 23rd at 4 PM ET. Driver Survivor will then go on hiatus, returning on Monday, January 2nd, 2012.

AJ and Trevor

[RacingDude]

This was a toughie. I like all of these guys, but Ragan might not even be on the track next year so I had to vote for him, and my other vote went to Kenseth.

[racinfan]

6 votes for Edwards...?

[yatesracing]

Andrew I don't participate but I was curious on just how this works, I do follow it and I would like to know Why is Edwards being eliminated and explain what he is being eliminated from?

Is this a positive thing or a negative thing?

Whoever receives the most votes is eliminated from the game. People vote for who they want to eliminate.

[yatesracing]

But why would anyone want to eliminate Carl? What would be the reason? Is this suppose to be a vote for the best or most popular driver. It doesn't make any sense. What are they choosing. The one driver that is left after all the elimination means what?

[TeamBlueOval]

...they are voting for Carl because they don't like him.

Last driver standing is the winner - kind of like the most popular driver but different.

[TeamBlueOval]

You could vote for someone else and try to help keep Carl in!! ;) :D

[yatesracing]

...they are voting for Carl because they don't like him. --To me it looks like it's one person doing all the voting when it come to Carl. Are you saying I can come in everyday and vote for the same person.OK

[yatesracing]

I vote for Ragan and Marcos

[TeamBlueOval]

No, each member can vote only once - you pick 2 drivers but it won't let you vote again until the next poll starts in a couple of weeks.

[yatesracing]

Oh OK. Very much surprised with Carl's count.

[Ford Dude]

Oh OK. Very much surprised with Carl's count.

ME TOO! He's the best we've got talent wise and probably the only Ford driver who won't take any crap from anyone.

[RacingDude]

^ Agreed. Dunno who else could be voting besides us... :-/

[TeamBlueOval]

Come on guys, I need 3 more votes for Kenseth to save Carl! ;)

Kinda like Survivor


Ragan and Kenseth!

[racinfan]

I'm not going to bash anyone, I really am curious who is voting for Carl o.o

[TeamBlueOval]

Me too ... hmm ... my guesses are DeeDee and Jon, but no idea about the others.

[yatesracing]

Jon-- really I definitely felt DeeDee and hmmmmmmmm I didn't vote for Carl but than I didn't vote for Kenseth either LOL as far as "The Bif" he's doing OK

I voted for Ragan and I don't remember the other one. I think the other one was Marcos. It's hard for me to vote against any FORD DRIVER. As far as AJ , my heart goes out to him at this time.

[JiggaStyles09]

The drivers you voted for show up in italics ;)....or at least they do on my computer.

[yatesracing]

Thanks Jigga yep it was Marcos
I really like all these FORD drivers but when you throw in Biff, Kenseth and Carl , it didn't leave me much choice.

[racinfan]

Trying to think of 7 people who voted for Carl...

[yatesracing]

I know of one member, a real Kenseth fan who might have voted for Carl. He never or I should say very rarely takes an active part on this forum. Now there are 3 I'm aware of. I can guess on a few more but that would only be JMO

[Dog]

You know what, this game has turned into an honest to goodness survival game because I somehow the site is messing with our votes. Because are there 21 active members even?

[Dog]

To answer my question, yes- 24 but I'd be willing to bet that not near all of them have voted.

[DeeDee]

The drivers you voted for show up in italics ;)....or at least they do on my computer.Thanks for that info. I hadn't noticed that Brian.


Seriously.... these are all Ford drivers so they gonna be voted off. Personally, I vote for how well I like the driver. Edwards just happens to be at the bottom of the list for Ford drivers. So I can only take credit for one of the votes. As for Ragan... well he got my vote only because he's no longer a FORD driver.

And speaking of that .... Andrew... if AJ survives this poll (technically he no longer a Ford driver) ... can he be moved to the Dodge Poll? <just thought I'd ask. ;)

[TeamBlueOval]

No, I used their 2011 rides to place them in polls.

[Dog]

Another noteable fact. This has 21 voters when the next closest poll (chevy) has 14 voters. One has 11, and the final two have ten votes.

[DeeDee]

^^ I noticed the same thing Dog. All of the polls are running between 10-14 voters . This one jumped from 9 voters the first week to 21 :-o that's quit a jump. Maybe we have a few ringers voting :lol: ;)

[racinfan]

I kind of feel like a revote is necessary...it seems like 10 people came out of nowhere.

[TeamBlueOval]

Since there is no poll planned for next week, we may revote and require votes to be posted for verification.
