Perhaps more accurate than polls that can be manipulated and double voted, the fanmail section here at BBFC offers interesting insight! If we guage popularity by the number of supportive fanmail posts left behind the HG can be rated as follows (from MOST to LEAST popular). How accurate/inaccurate do you think this is?

Josh
Gerry
Amy
Lori
Dani
Jason
Lisa
Marcellus
Roddy
Chiara
Tonya

It could be argued that Lisa, Dani, and Jason may not be accurate since some posters may wait for their exit to post fanmail- so you can either include them as is, exclude them, or imagine they will eventually rate even higher than the others once goodbye posts are added.

I did find it very telling that Tonya was WAY under-represented compared to the others. She only has a total of 6 posts and 2 of them were by admin! Eek! Does anyone love Tonya?

I think a lot of what you see in the fan mail, is a measure of how much sympathy a guest has earned. Josh shot to the top based on his wedding plans. Without Merrit, he would probably be at the bottom.

Lots of Josh's fanmail came from his association with the lovely Merrit and the fearless Furry.

I dont think so. A lot of the fanmail increases after someone is evicted.

But then Maris wouldn't that still make this accurate with the exception of the final 3 who we can assume will get more fanmail eventually?
