Each member is receiving hundreds of links from which to select their top 5 or so. I can guarantee you many people are just looking for the URLs they recognize, and then pushing those through. I made an effort to actually visit and evaluate the sites I had, and found some that I really enjoyed. But I'm betting that most people don't do that, because as we know, there is a lot of crap out there and at a certain point you just get sick of looking at it all. Only the biggest blog junkie would take the time to look at them all. The awards have always had a "wtf??" kind of element to them, but I see that this year it's even worse. There is an mp3 blog up for Best Teen Blog and another for Best Writing. Uhhh....ok. And Cute Overload as blog of the year? I get the feeling there were a lot of teenage girls on the panel this year...
