Yeah, I posted the "weighted" figures (as I calculated them) on the night.
I disagree a bit with BBO's explanation for it, and I think they're trying to cover their backside here, seeing as their (usually highly regarded) poll got it for the most part badly wrong.
What I think happened is that the much lower voting figures meant that the final night votes were even more important this year than in previous years (e.g. Hira and Freddie both went due to final night swings). With Rodrigo and Charlie going early, that meant a (comparatively) large number of votes that would be (for the most part) transferred to Sophie. Because of the way he isolated himself in the last couple of weeks, Siavash wouldn't benifit from vote transfers.
I still refuse to believe that David came all
that close to finishing runner-up...
