I've just gone on there and it's fine -

Try from this link Topaz, when you give your email address it sends a link to your email account just copy and paste it to verify your email address. I was only allowed 5 votes is that right?

I tried to join the site last year (to make some pointless comment on some pointless outrage on the DwtS board ) and I had the same problem, so never got registered. I did however, having submitted my email address, start to receive a whole heap of spam . Edy says you need a verified email address. I don't really know what that means, but perhaps a gmail/hotmail/yahoo email (like I have) don't work and it has to be a 'paid for' email address. Techies - any ideas?

I was fine with a hotmail account no probs which is unusual for me! Just think you have to have a designated email address and when they send you the link to verify you are at that email address, copy and paste it and away you go.

Thats correct. You only get 5 votes per email address.

I dont know if anyone has been on the DWTS forums on ABC.com but there's someone there who says he's voted over 1000 times for Derek and Maria... (how come if you only get 5 votes per email addy).... or am I missing something here...?

Thanks Sara thought I'd been shortchanged. Amazed at the votes some put in and no charges, we get stung big time over here then.

Some on the ABC boards complaining not able to vote by phone or online for Donald and William too.

It's true though. Jennifer and Nicole were with Derek anyway. Jennifer didn't get a perfect score for her AT, even though it was much better than Maria's.

Thanks for the link Karma Ardent but that's the page I previously tried from....so having submitted my email details but still not being able to register - like fridgesoup have I got lots of junk mail to look forward to

I personally think no voting system is foolproof - if someone wants to vote for their favourite more times than allowed there's always a way around it - no matter what the producers of these shows say!

So far Ive had no ABC spam come through (partly coz I unticked something NOT to get anything or didnt tick any of the topics on page 2)..

Either way, I got 6 accounts using the 6 email addresses I have access to (2 for parents, my work one, and 3 personal ones).

They are power voting. Creating a bunch of email addresses and then voting 5 votes from each one. I remember fans doing that when Gilles was competing but the worst was Bristol Palin and what seemed like the entire republican party.

I am not sure how this person is doing it thought because I thought I had read an announcement from ABC saying they would only accept 1 IP address for each mail. Perhaps they are using a proxy where the IP is hidden. The extreme power voters annoy me because they skew it.

I know that when I registered to DS I had to use my internet provider email as they would not accept yahoo or hotmail, etc.

What I am surprised about is Katherine's friend Piers as in Morgan. I did not see him tweet in her behalf with the voting number and he has a gazillion followers

He did last week and was in her VT this week along with Andrew Lloyd Webber. She needs to garner as much support as possible, think there is a bit of a backlash with Maria and Derek, so could be closer than we think.

If it's true they make a good couple, when I saw the pap videos I wondered.

Where these experts watching the same dances as me?

Yes, I saw it last week but I did not see one last night. Piers usually tweets every week for her (unless I missed it).

I have the seen the backlash and it is pretty strong. Anything could happen tonight. The ratings should be high. That what gets me about all the tricks about getting ratings. They don't need it when there is good dancing and the competition heats up.

I am probably biased but I would like to see Katherine and Donald as the final two and I am praying that will happen. I would be happier with either one of them winning because I think they deserve to be there.

Where is Windy sports. He must be having a meltdown.

They would be my ideal too,

Did she break up with Damian? I had no idea. I thought they were still together.

How weird you thought of him, I just thought about him too, I wondered what's happened to him I'll scout round to see if he's posting

Can't find anything new he must be too distraught to blog

I registered for voting using my facebook account and you can also use any twitter account,I had the same trouble last year just using my email accounts..and yet these work not sure how probably too late for everyone now but maybe useful to you for the final or next season. Also you can use both accounts to vote seperately I don't think they check IP addresses at all (I haven't done this but know several people who have)

I'm not on FB or twitter - I may join twitter eventually though.

Is this Damian dancing with Danielle Spencer?

Didn't register with FB or twitter to join ABC.

Yes. I thought they were a pretty tight couple so I am surprised.
