Close your eyes and listen to the drumroll. Well, I guess it's probably not a huge surprise about who the top five [in terms of votes] are, since you could actually see the real-time results if you wanted to. But here they are anyway:
19. I Need a Robot (474 votes)
13. Roomba and other such useful robots. (414 votes)
34. The Grand Pooba(h) (346 votes)
26. Only In My Dreams… (244 votes)
2. iRobot: Civic Doody? (242 votes)
I realize the voting was open past noon (EST) today. Polldaddy.com actually has a feature that allows you to schedule "close voting" at a particular time, on a given date, if that's what your program requires; I think that's an awesome feature but apparently it didn't work for some reason. So I pulled the voting widget down, and am posting a screenshot of the results here:
We'll be sending out PostiePacks (iRobot Roomba robot vacuum, along with a specially-designed Blog Battle Royal t-shirt) to each of the top five. There will also be a separate voting to determine the "PPP Blog Battle Royale Champion", so stay-tuned here on the blog.
If you missed-out this time-around, there will be another Blog Battle Royale next month!

A lot of votes were still be taken after 12 noon, but what can we do if the scheduled thingy didn't close it down?But it was kinda odd they suddenly increased by a lot of votes.
Anyway, I shall cherish my robot and name him Stan.
