Well, that is good and bad. The number one spot is worth $15000-; the number 2 spot is worth $10,000- and the number 3 spot is worth $5,000-.

How did she get to the 2nd spot?
The elephant in the room is the number 1 video/blogger who had a huge following (more than 10,000 subscribers). His people merely began voting him at the time without adjusting the order that was in place.

This resulted in the girl's video taking second place EARLY on. Best Buy had her randomly in first place when the ranking first started.

Michael started out randomly in the 14th spot. Our family, some of his friends and some late night/early morning risers at the forum began voting at 3am and did so hourly thereafter. <YAWN>

He made it to the third spot before the ranking system fixed his spot under the second video (I think this occurred by the first evening).

Videos underneath the top spots (with less votes and weight) were then able to bounce around more as all the other parties jostled for position. By Friday night; they too seemed frozen in place....

NOTE/ BEST BUY LIKELY NEVER ANTICIPATED THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM FIXING THE CONTESTANTS RANKINGS SO EARLY IN THE GAME.
