Results are out for the
Tap and Take Challenge Mission 2! And here are the winners!
Contestants are suppose to show Samsung their cutest baby pictures but as mentioned in an
earlier post, that hardly holds any importance. The top 5 photos with the most comments and likes will be selected as winners.
And so this are what the winners clocked!
- The 1st winner [Jenette So] Likes : 528, Comments : 453
- The 2nd winner [Naida Aquino] Likes : 527, Comments : 488
- The 3rd winner [Lorna Dalayoan] Likes : 527, Comments : 399
- The 4th winner [Jennifer C. Go] Likes : 522, Comments : 400
- The 5th winner [Noli Untalan] Likes : 518, Comments : 401
And for the FIRST time in my entire history of contest blogging, I am floored by the results! I mean I already expected people to cheat in a contest that uses vote count to determine the winner. So when 1 or 2 of them get away by cheating, that's not surprising. But when all 5 winners are possibly cheaters?!?!.... now that's a FIRST!
But I could be wrong. The votes and comments could all be legitimate. I'll let you decide for yourself.
Winner Lorna D - If you click on her profile, she has a grand total of *drum roll*

2 friends!
For someone with 2 friends, she can actually garner 527 likes and 399 comments!!! Is she amazing or what?
Next up, we have winner Noli U who has 115 friends. She has slightly more friends than Lorna D. So maybe, just maybe there's a higher possiblity that she can garner 518 likes and 401 comments. But if you check out her 115 friends, 18 of them have the same profile pic of some twin towers!
The 18 like-minded friends are namely:
1. Alicia Co
2. Andrew Law
3. Belen Dy
4. Elisa Co
5. James Dy
6. Jensen Tan
7. Jessel Tibura
8. Jethro Tan
9. Joey Po
10. Joseph Cerezo
11. Juliana Dy
12. Justin Tiu
13. Letty Tan
14. Lilia Cerezo
15. Mark Dy
16. Mikael Dy
17. Susan Tan
18. Teresita Lim
Great minds think alike or running out of photos to create fake accounts? Hahah I don't know.
And guess what? Another winner, Naida A who clocked 527 likes and 488 comments, knows these exact same 18 friends!!! Naida and Noli must be fast friends since they have the same group of "like-minded friends who must seriously love the twin buildings" Hhahaa
Oh and Noli U and Jeanntte S are friends as well! You can see their names in each other's friend list.
Quite clearly, I am not the only one who noticed this irregularity in the voting and commenting pattern. Among the long list of 400 comments for Jennifer C's photo, somebody mentioned: "
don't mind the fake admin, they're just jealous so many people love your photo". Someone else must have noticed and pretended to be "the almighty Admin" and told them they are cheating. Hahahhahah... Good one. The
fake profile looks quite real ok!
Noli U also asked in one of the 401 comments.
"why disqualify????? I've spent the last few days rallying for votes!!! Im sure you're not the real admin!". Fake admin also noticed the irregularity like me. Ha
Oh and the best part!
The REAL ADMIN actually posted this .....
..... in Jeanette and Naida's long list of comments!!! But still went on to award them the prize!!! hahahahhahaha Errrr.... They forgot who they disqualified?
There are many other tell tale signs that the voters and commentors are fake. Like you will see this same set of people, commenting in the same order, at intervals of between 2 to 5 mins apart.
Oh so maybe it is a coincidence or everybody so happens to be at the same place and they are taking turns to go to this same laptop to vote and comment. But at midnight? All at same place?? And these particular group of people must love scenery!
The united mass logging in and commenting went on until about 4.30am before it starts again at 9.55am in the morning!!! They work really hard man. These coordinated bunch of friends voted for Naida, Noli and Jeannette.
Go observe the last few voters for the 5 winners. You will see some pattern there as well.
If this is a joint effort among 5 friends (Or maybe more) to team up, distribute responsibility of creating accounts and vote for each other, it is certainly well excuted!!!
You know... like... Let's all create 20 fake accounts per day and vote and comment for each other ok? Like that we sure win! Yeee haaaa!
Cool! This is Team Spirit man!
And my predictions are completely wrong. None of the winners are Singaporeans! Oh we are completely trashed ;p
Our friends from Philippines really caught me by surprise! How could I have underestimated you folks!
And Samsung, you are a joke!
But of course, I could be completely wrong in my observations because it could all be legitimate and I am a jealous, friendless sour grape :) Oh but do I qualify to be a sour grape if I didn't join this contest? ;p
No wait, that was a joke...
