A short video encouraging you to vote for Alex, H50 and the fandom. (Yes, there is a fandom vote too!)

Also, internationals can vote, so please do! :winky:

AND, it says you can vote for 5 per category, but you up our chances if you only vote for Alex and 5-0.
You water down your vote if you check 5.
Voting also goes quicker, thus getting in more votes, that way. :devil:

If you vote for 5, you can more or less help choose the other contestants in this section.

But you don't want to. Unless there's someone else you wanna win. Last year, we didn't even get Alex past this primary, but folks some had included in their 5 did get in. So we cannot control who,the 5 are... We can only control how many votes our guy gets. So this year, if we concentrate our votes, we raise his chances. Same deal for Show.

Now if you want Fillion in the top 5, vote for him. But he might then precede Alex... You see what I mean?

My rationale....if you understand it: NOMINATE the less popular actors.....so they are thrown into the mix. We DON'T want the Supernatural gang to get in there and grab the vote. It dilutes the field so Alex isn't against the heavy hitters.

We cannot control who gets nominated. We aren't a large enough fandom. We can only control the number of hits our guy gets. If we can get him into the finals, that's better than we did last year... Last year, people operated under the same philosophy you are thinking, but it didn't work.

Every vote for someone else IS a vote against Alex, mathematically. So if you want Fillion in, vote for him. But if you really want Alex to win, vote ONLY for him. It's truly mathematical. Trust me. And the SPN guys got past noms last year. We cannot stop someone else; we can only move our guy forward.

you'll also vote faster if you're just checking one box, so more votes, again, for Alex. Same deal goes for Show. If you truly want a different show to win, vote for it too. But concentrating the votes is the best way to win for our guy, and Show. Math. Just math.

Good lord there are a lot of categories!! I couldn't believe how many choices there were....network, cable, premium cable, reality shows, favorite judges on reality shows..... :dizzy:

It was easy to vote for H50 bc I don't watch any other network crime dramas! And I only liked 2 other guys besides Alex in his category, so I only voted for 3 there. Glad I was able to vote for Homeland, Dexter and TB. Some of the categories I couldn't find anyone I really cared all that much about, some I liked too many.

I only vote once---a Chicago thing :laugh: , so I fulfilled my fandom duty!
