I was at 6.6 with about 60 votes yesterday night and this morning woke up to a 6.0707 ??

Reading the posts here it seems I am not the only one facing this crazy drop!

It's way-wacky. On third of my comments are "Top ten at least, my choice for ribbon" but I'm barely hanging in there.

and my score keeps a-tumblin
a-tumblin down the drain
when it stops a-fallin
my low score will be callin
callin out in pain

OK, since the camera is in the shop I am going to go and comment on the first 25 shots I see in the challenge. Look for them.

Comments to the rescue!

I can't believe this, 3 ones in a row.

edit: make that 4 ones in a row.

in 7 votes I dropped 0.2. That's very angry voting I think. Mr Fresco, we might wanna pummel the life-entries :P

man I'm dropping like a rock today. Everytime I check my score..it's getting lower and lower and lower. Maybe I should just stop checking it......

**hits the update button again**\

Oooops...yeah lower again.

I used to believe in the "once it hits 100 votes it won't change much" theory but that's not the case here. It's changed by a tenth or so in about 10 votes. Here's hoping they all get tossed by the scrubber, yes?

And Doc, what did you do to your camera??

It's either the scrubber or a way-low scoring challenge Deb, I think we should take the voters themselves through the scrubber.

I'm with you Han, let's take on the lifers - death *always* wins!!!

fingers crossed on this being the lowest scoring challenge ever :)

Juliadavis &

snowflakejen have also reported 6+ scores, I wonder how they are doing after the hit from the troll land !

and someone with a 6.8/8.6/6.08/0.00068 or something - a mystery score?
