1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining that at least one in-game task in a computer-implemented game has been completed by a player of the computer-implemented game;
allocating a non-monetary in-game reward based at least in part on the completed at least one in-game task; and
influencing action in a television program based at least in part on determination of completion of the at least one in-game task and redemption of the non-monetary in-game reward by the player of the computer-implemented game.

Abstract
A system, computer-readable storage medium including instructions, and a computer-implemented method for obtaining votes for participants in a television program are described, in which code for a game is transmitted to a computer system, where the game includes an in-game voting module that allows a player of the game to cast votes for participants in a television program. At least one vote for at least one participant in the television program is received from the in-game voting module. A database including vote counts for the participants in the television program is updated based on the at least one vote for the at least one participant.

19. A computer readable storage medium storing at least one program that, when executed by at least on processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
determining that at least one in-game task in a computer-implemented game has been completed by a player of the computer-implemented game; allocating a non-monetary in-game reward based at least in part on the completed at least one in-game task; and influencing action in a television program based at least in part on determination of completion of the at least one in-game task and redemption of the non-monetary in-game reward by the player of the computer-implemented game.
