No Tamalyn - She wins as she is a blogger with lots of followers and it's to the companies advantage, fair play to her but very unfair for other people. Still it's not really her fault, it's the companies. I see lots of people commenting or sending pictures that don't win that much so effort has nothing to do with it. Most of the competitions are RT only. I prefer Facebook as that seems more fair.

sorry but i dont agree with you at all, i win way more on twitter by replying and chatting and posting pics compared to one retweet that the company will never see

the girl wins as she puts effort into being personal with all the comps she enters, am afraid twitter is not all about luck, the company could never see all the retweets and is most likely going to pick a name that sticks out or a reply they have had and thats what she does. there is no way for any twitter comp to ever be fair unless they use an ap an RT comps dont come with an app. leave the girl alone as she works hard and has ignored so much bulling and jealousy, how would u feel if it was your daughter in uni woking hard on a blog and entering comps? and oh so winning all the time.

I do the same thing though, tweeting a lot about the competition, and tweeting the company running the competition a lot too in general, replying to their tweets and discussions and I follow someone who does the exact same but more than me, and I've been doing it for about two months and this other lady has been for years, and we both win nothing. I just wished they was fair, and picked one person randomly out of the all the retweeted but I guess I was just being naive

the problem is there is no fair way of choosing a winner, even di coke will agree with that, she has written various post on it on her blog. people win more if they are popular, eg if people mention their name alot then they name will come up top of the retweets, its funny actually as all the hate about blondeofcarbs actually helps her win more ha ha

The comps I win on, I just RT no conversation at all. My comping friends have a conversation and post pics and win very little, just like me but I don't bother putting the effort in.

I don't think anyone hates her surely that is a bit sad, most people are expressing their concerns that it's very unfair the way the companies choose winners.

sometimes yes, i have 1 win today, 1 yesterday a few the day before, it all depends on how hard i work on twitter, or if i find a very low entry comp. as i said winning on twitter is not about luck or statistics, its hard work and the ones who work hard win more

hmm the posts she gets on twitter are very hateful and posts like this make other people tweet hate to her so sorry but i do agree this post is on the verge of bullying and will generally cause more ill will towards her and its hard to watch as i have a teenage daughter in uni myself and i would be very distressed to know that people on a big forum like mse was calling her some kind of cheat
