The videos are great, Athena. I'm stuck between several for which gets my vote. :puzzled:

Phew! Make a decision on those?!

Thought the it was a contest between "In his own words" and "Vacine" until "Think" came along - that's the one that rung the most bells in me for some reason.

Interesting site, have registered.

I've watched the videos but I think I'll need to watch them again tomorrow to decide (wasn't keen on the first one)

I really disliked the first one too. For me it was 'Think', followed by 'the new tithe' and 'science vaccine'.

I'd be happy to vote but can't register... wherever I click I can't complete any fields...

The order keeps changing, folks. Think is coming up as the first one at the moment. Which are we not liking?

It was 'The Tutor' I didn't like. And I discovered why I couldn't vote, as voting has now closed.

I just voted for Science is a vaccine, Fia. I registered then had to activate the registration through an emailed link and then I could vote. Voting ends on 21 February.

I also had a problem with The Tutor. The message was ok but I felt the children were too young for the subject matter. Of course, that may have been deliberate and a reflection of real life situations with fundies.

Ah yes, Lewist, silly me, the submission date for entries is closed, not voting. I agree with you re Tutor and have managed to find some very pale grey boxes to register, and have voted for 'Think' because I hope it may make folk just do a little more of that :D

I voted for The New Tithe, which I thought was superb. None of the others particularly grabbed me.

I am not surprised to see "Think" in the lead (well, I wouldn't be would I?) but am surprised to see "New Tithe" at the bottom at the moment.

Am I being thick? Any hint as to how you can see the current state of play would be welcome. I can't see a link.

Ah, perhaps I am in error in thinking that the order in which the videos are presented, each time I have looked at them, was an indication as to their rank!

I thought it strange that there was no score shown until I realised the "lame duck effect" might apply, people voting for other than the top ranking choice to "balance" things out of a kind of sympathy.

I found the order changes when the page is refreshed. I guess they're trying to make it as fair as possible, just in case people can't be bothered to watch more than the first two or three. :)

Another good point, Athena.

I'm surprised 'Tutor' made third place...
