		<description>Sorry you didnt make it through it seems but it looks like it was fixed anyway  clearly the Wedding Bells staff have already picked their winner (Mai) as they delete anything negative directed at her immediately while they let nasty comments on your entry stay up for days.  They edit Mai&#039;s comments too so she doesn&#039;t look bad and make sure she is always in the lead.  Its a fix and i&#039;m sad  for you. But best of luck in your wedding it sounds lovely</description>

		<description>I just want to say that I don&#039;t know most of the people who have commented and that I haven&#039;t asked anyone to say mean things about Mai. Whomever wins wins - it is just a contest, nothing to get nasty about. Its really unfortunate that this has had to end on such a negative note.</description>

		<description>sarah,

I completely agree with you.  I don&#039;t think Belinda has anything to do with it.  Her comments to calm everyone down would prove that to be true.  I just felt I needed to say those things so that all this negativity can stop.  If Belinda wins, I will be happy for her and would never say anything nasty about her and I hope Mai’s friends will follow suit.

Everyone, please get over it and let’s just play this out for the final day.

Thanks,</description>

		<description>Holy I&#039;ve read the comments too i think Sophie was just suggesting that mai might be using false aliases to advocate for herself thats all... and to suggest that belinda has anything to do with other peoples comments is just wrong.  people have attacked jessyca when she took the lead, emily when people were saying nasty things about phillippa and now belinda when ppl are saying nasty things about mai... dont blame the other girls, they may have nothing to do with it and be just as appalled as you are</description>

		<description>Hi Belinda,

I am sure you are a genuinely nice and kind person but some of your friends are some of the meanest people I have ever met (err…read).  I can understand if they are upset that you are losing but when Mai was losing, none of her friends were all over your blog screaming “cheater.”  As you mentioned, this was meant to be a fun competition (the actions of your friends would prove otherwise) and I can tell you first hand Mai doesn’t have the time to “sit in front of a computer all day” so-to-speak.  You and your friends can choose to believe what you want but I have a clear conscience in telling you that Mai is not cheating.  If not for anything else, please tell your friends to stop posting ridiculous comments on Mai’s blog as it screams jealousy.  I’m sure that if you win this competition, you wouldn’t want to hear the same things so please tell them to be civil.

Thank You and Good Luck!</description>

		<description>I think the Wedding Bells staff should take a note of what you said about the contest making you stressed and anxious; I have a friend in this competition who is having a VERY tough time with the rapid percentage changes, the negative comments, and the worry about what&#039;s going to happen - I think a month was totally too long to draw out the tension and really brought out some negative things, when in the end all that really is going to count is how many people click a mouse for a certain girl.  I feel sorrry for everyone in this contest and I sincerly hope the staff don&#039;t do this to you all in the following round.  I agree with a lot of the comments about it being unfair and its not fair for some of you who I know work 2 jobs, don&#039;t have any time on their hands to see their fiance let alone spend a bunch of time voting, when others can sit around making as many accounts as they want and voting for themselves.  I&#039;m not accusing anyone of this but a lot of peoples suspicions have been raised in general and its totally a possibility and i definitely see how it could make anyone in this competition very stressed out.  I&#039;m sorry you had to go through this and I wish you all the best once this is all over and you can focus on planning your wedding!!</description>
