I've received a very honest and valid explanation for the anomalies, and it makes total sense. Honest error, no ill intent, just some overzealous supporters. It doesn't change the outcome or resulting decision, but know that it won't be happening in future rounds.
Oh, I am so happy to know that!!! Honest mistakes happen and I was hopeful and pretty sure that was the case.
DSS #29. The Brownie. You guys each bake a batch, FedEx us the work. And we'll open a poll and vote on our favorite. (We won't care if you cheat, however, since we will have all eaten the prize.)
Ha, ha, ha the best idea I've heard for looong time. I'm ready to vote :eat
But... this time NO outsiders allowed to the pool, under any circumstances
OK,, you two are cracking me up here:poke..... both of you....
Look what I went and got myself smack in the middle of now..
Well I must say,,, just one opinion would not suffice to call a vote on such blue ribbon brownies.. We need more taste testers to strike an average..
However, rather than shipping them, I don't see why we can't just each bake them....
I will give both a shot.. but your gonna have to give me two weeks time.. I am swamped processing a photo shoot for a client on a deadline right now.. Couple that with out of state family dropping in and well,,, no time to bake.... but I assure you I will get to it... However, I think a poll is in order.. I am not getting stuck in the middle by myself. So your gonna have to recruit players if ya want votes.. and I have no idea where the Mods would let us place such a
poll.. you may have to end up bribing them with a batch of brownies...eat
All this talk of brownies, I finally broke down yesterday and made some. Vegan version, but still satisfying. Still totally willing to judge a brownie bake-off, though. :eat
ooohh sure, but who is gonna pay for all the shipping..huhhuhhuh
The frosting will melt all over the place.. Looks like >> To the kitchen..
Yep Kerry.. The power of suggestion.. it works huh...
Vegan Brownie? a true Vegan won't even use eggs right? how on earth do you get them to hold together? scratch.. I know applesauce replaces oil, but what replaces eggs?
27 is concluded. It will not count toward prizes or Mega-Challenge qualification, per the original announcement. We're picking up with round #28.
Oh. Thank you. I guess I didn't read that carefully. Total bummer. This was one of the first Challenges I thought I had a shot at winning. If only life were fair! :whip

I was looking all over this morning to see who won 27 and couldn't find the thread because usually I just look for the WINNER in the subject. I can see how this was a definite let down for the everyone who made it to the voting round, all of your shots were great and deserve the recognition.
I did read through enough to learn that this may not have been malicious so I'm glad about that but still sad for everyone who made it to voting because I would be pretty annoyed if I had made it that far.
I hope everyone continues with their great submissions in spite of this and hopefully it won't occur again.
