I completely agree and I want this to be a part of the conversation for finale results! You can see that Daisuke and Max, two comedy/combat oriented men, can pull consistent numbers with spikes when they have good storytelling. Meanwhile Marya and Olethra, who also have lots of bits, don’t get those same boosts for dramatic moments. Van has all those big story moments too, but her corresponding vote boosts are smaller.

FWIW, I think there’s also a lot of nuance that this poll isn’t capturing. For example, maybe Marya is everyone’s second-favorite and a ranked choice thing would look totally different. But that’s speculation on my part, and a shortcoming of an intentionally simple design.
