LJ Idol Presents:

Since there was some discussion over the spreadsheet last night, I offer up some historical data to put this week's numbers in context; this is Idol over the past twenty weeks (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dPXzHqExdn6OPINVDodgnoBK77Aiw9Pt63qyZWPAauo/edit?usp=sharing).

In fact, if you are so inclined, you'll be able to check this link in the future when a poll is up to see it update in real time, and in fact play with your votes as you see fit and see what it does to the spreadsheet's recordings of your votes.

Let me echo: it's just numbers. But I think it's not unhelpful to see how the yellow and red boxes have steadily grown as we've gone from 50 people to 5, and who it's been affecting more than others. All of this is an expected part of the game, as Gary notes; I draw no conclusions and again, simply present the data as it exists.
