I don't understand a word of that you just described above.
For example there are sites A, B, C and D that people can vote on with radio
buttons next to them. By the end of the week, Joe builds this very cool
castle and 20 people nominate him through the "nominate a site" link. He then
should still wait till one of the A, B, C or D sites gets selected and end up
as one of the radio buttons so people can vote for him if they want next
week.
The way you have it set up, Joe will win over site A, B, C or D even though he
wasn't one of the radio buttons.
I think that people who are nominated through the "nominate a site" link even
if they have a majority of votes over the others who are already up there
should still end up as one of the radio buttons before getting selected. That
way the only sites that could win would be those with the radio buttons next
to them.
