I did not say if Pete was unpopular, but if Pete was not as popular, there is a distinction

If you have a vote where the only votes are cast are

10 for A
15 for B
20 for C
55 for D

Total votes cast = 100

D is the most popular but because of the low turnout, A has 10% of the vote

However if there is a higher turnout for D and D gets 155 votes with all the other votes the same, then A appears to have only 5%.

This is why a percentage is meaning less unless you have the raw data, which Endemol failed to supply.

But if Nikki was so unpopular, why did she get 63% (whatever the rw data was) to go back in. I never took part in that vote either.

You mean "other than Nikki" numbers are neutral.

I repeat I have neither voted for or against her so am not a fan. I mearly observe behaviour and try and work out what demons drive them.
