Poll Stats, "What If", Fun Facts, and Trivia
Many thanks to Mediajock for all his hard work putting this very interesting information together!
Folks,
Looks like another poll season has come and gone - and this one was indeed an exciting one from this side of the ballot box. With the guard changing and a lot of newer idols coming to prominence, there also came a lot of different ways many actors came out way on top. Such years as this stress the notion that there is never "just one winner" in this poll and that every vote does indeed count.
Let's do like ex-TI David Krumholtz and run the numbers (no "3" in that word...)
There were 70 votes cast for any of the 989 submitted nominees during the 11 days the poll was open. From these:
- 150 different performers received at least one of the 1024 points awarded.
From these:
- 44 received at least one first place vote.
From these:
- There was one clear cut top finisher but, again, all were winners.

Here are the Top 15 actors in terms of mentions on ballots - regardless of rank on the ballot:
| Mentions | Performer |

| 13 | Cole Sprouse |
| 11 | Logan Lerman |
| 10 | Dean Collins |

Average ballot score of the Top 20
Perhaps it might be interesting to see how the Top 20 (21 due to ties at #19) fared with each of their voters on average.
* Curiosity: Alessandro Morace is the first ever in poll history (as long as we have tracked this category) to get a perfect 5.

Dropping 5th place

| Liam Mower | 31 |
| Conor Donovan | 25 |

| Josh Hutcherson | 24 |
| Darian Weiss | 24 |
| Carter Jenkins | 21 |
| Alexander Gould | 20 |
Dropping 4th place
Dropping 4th place flip-flops a few and lets the Top 10 sing a song of Sangster:
| Performer | Points |
|---|---|
| Cole Sprouse | 42 |
| Logan Lerman | 34 |
| Liam Mower | 31 |
| Dean Collins | 28 |

* Curiosity: While fellow Billy-in-dancing Liam Mower finished in the Top 10, George slid. Most likely due to his earlier exit.
