How do you know who is voting for or against anyone? I’m voting for a variety of couples – my main ship is Rumbelle but I’m also voting for CaptainSwan because I think they belong in the final voting, at least past the first round. I’m also voting for SwanFire (same reason) but they are way behind. Hook and Emma should be kicking Hook and Milah’s butts (that sounds so weird) but I think the new voting strategy in these polls is to vote against certain ships rather than for your own ships. I refuse to do that. Keep it positive, people!
1) I think that statement was made in reference to the fact Hook/Milah are so high against Emma/Hook- which is weird as we only saw them in the one episode.
2) She didn’t say she knew (nor did I), she said she ‘thinks’, but I took it to mean she ‘feels like’, I could be wrong, but that’s my interpretation anyway- some of the other shipping fans have been OTT in their response to CaptainSwan, like I said, I don’t get why, we all have our fav couples, but there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed (& I’m not saying all Captain Swan fans are innocent there either, it just ‘seems’ to be a lot of different ships in general have been singling out the one).
3) The way I see it as working is as you say (I just really don’t like the fact you can vote repeatedly by refreshing- even daily or every 12hrs voting would be much better & keep things more ‘real’).
Personally, like you, I’ve voted for those couples I want to see get through- Snowing etc, but some of the high choices are simply weird/ out there.
[adrotate group="5"]If I may put in my two cents… while I agree, I like polls where you can only vote once… may more real…IMHO, I really don’t think we can say for sure everyone’s motives for voting. Some people may actually prefer hook and milah, and to the average viewer, it is cannon. They might be voting because they truly do prefer them.
That is what drew my vote. Hook truly loved Milah. Sure I hate what she did to Rumple, but Hook really truly loved her. In the show, she is his true love. Naturally, I do not prefer Hook to Neal , of course I would not vote for captain swan. What drove my vote was the on screen look on Hooks face when Milah died. It was the love he did have for her. However, I don’t see anything wrong with voting for the purpose of voting against. But that is the whole thing wrong with these polls. You can vote more than once, so yes crazies can get carried away and keep voting against so it skews it. But so can people voting for. Anyway. It would be great if they did have just one voting. But like I said about the last poll, they show more of fan’s passion and dedication rather than a true view of what the real numbers are. These kinds of sites want that though. Clicks=views and shares. They can use those numbers when selling advertising.
Keeper Nealfire's/Bae's scarf, Henry and Neal's bribery ice cream sundae, Baelfire's sword, the coconut map, and more.
CrownedWithLaurels – you make some very good points. It’s strange to think though that people would waste their time continuously voting for or against a couple just to make a point. Anyway whatever the case may be I for one am not taking this poll seriously any more. In polls that have only had one vote captainswan have done very well. Rumbelle normally ends up winning these things, I think they’re probably the most popular pairing at the moment.
some people just have too much time on their hands 😆 😆

I don’t think anyone here, has anything against people voting against anyone in general, as far as I can find, there isn’t a massive fanbase for say Hook/Milah, like there is for CaptainSwan or Rumbelle, so it seems crazy to ‘us’ that they should be leading a poll in numbers, which is why I don’t take these kinds of polls seriously anyway.
Beside’s, as I said, I don’t get the feeling Sarah was being dead serious in that comment & it was more how it felt- like when you have a really bad week & “it feels like the whole world is against you”- actually thinking the whole world is against you is out right crazy talk, but it doesn’t change the expression or the fact others ‘get’ that you are feeling down over recent events 😉I’ll be honest here- Milah hasn’t been outright stated as Killian’s “True Love” YET, just that they “fell in love”, so I’m not convinced it was the standard Snowing & Regina/Daniel be all & end all kind of “true love”, but I am certain he did truly love her & very deeply.
The point about wanting people to vote over & over is valid, to a point…if one person votes 500times, that is only one person on their page- note 500 people voting, so those numbers will mean jack all for advertising purposes, as they skew their data too much, it doesn’t prove anything fanbase wise, as those numbers could result from say 10% of all the actual voters who visited the site. All that kind of thing does is get the page hit’s (unless you are talking about wetpaint wanting the numbers for advertising for themselves, in which case I agree with you there 😉 ).
I work & I have a life outside of a TV show, that doesn’t make me any less a fan for not voting 2000 times a day, if it did Once would air as an after school show, not on prime time 😉

Exactly 🙂
Rumbelle has a MASSIVE following (the 2 I run across most is Rumbelle & SwanQueen) since S1 & I’m sure they’d be wondering ‘what the what’ if all of a sudden Rumple/ Cora started beating them in the polls 😉 😉 😆
Though I’m not a great Rumbelle fan myself (I don’t mean I don’t like them as a couple, just I don’t think about them much at all out side of seeing them on screen), I’m very, very pleased for all the Rumbelle fans/shippers, that Cora didn’t ruin it all for them 🙂@craxyfox wrote:

Promo observations Sadly not much of Hook yet :/ Other than interacting with GOAT, looks like he gonna get used again & what looks to be a brain dead Regina (I cant see why he'd harm her tho?!? She could 'help' him be rid of Rumple 😕 So I'm hoping he isn't up to no good), but it does look like Emma pulls a gun on Neal! 😮 (Hand holding the gun has a freckle on the Rt index finger & Emma has a freckle in the same place, on the same index finger!) Cant wait to find out what is going on there!!!
