I watched Mayor Pete last night hosting Kimmel. I thought he did a darn good job. He's not a comedian or an actor. But he's a smart guy with a sly sense of humor. And he's very cute and nerdy and he'll do all the silly stuff that a talk show host has to do which makes him all the more endearing. Nice job, Pete!

Adam Deep Cut Appreciation Poll
Ok, we have results. I am going to space the various vote counting methods out just a little bit or there would be just too much data all at once and today we have:
RANKED CHOICE VOTE - SINGLE WINNER
This method for a single winner allocates a voter's vote to their second/third/etc choices when the voters choice is eliminated in one of the rounds. The "instant run-off" rounds continue until one song has a majority of votes which in our case should be 22 votes out of 43 total.
Just as a reminder from yesterday of the first place vote count: So obviously the first round eliminated the songs with only 1 first place vote and for those folks, their vote was transferred to their second choice. This went on for five rounds before a final winner was determined to have over 50 percent of the vote, 20 vs 19.
And the RCV winner is .... Pick U Up with 20 votes
Comments and Insights:
1. But ... but ... but, wait you say, 20+19 is only 39 votes. I thought there were 43 total ballots. That is absolutely true however, four of the ballots did not include either of the final two songs so those votes were completely eliminated in the final round. The take away here is that in RCV every candidate needs to be ranked to make sure your vote counts!
2. Pick U Up won despite CLYG having more first place votes initially because more people thought Adam would likely choose PUU over CLYG.
3. Again, Two Fux and Can't Go Home received no first place votes and dropped out immediately.

Thank you for the great effort to come up with a winner! but I need you to clarify your “more people preferred “ statement: my understanding of the vote was NOT my individual preference (which in my case would’ve been By The Rules) but what I thought Adam would pick (so I voted for Can’t Let You Go, which I don’t even like)... actually it would be interesting to see if there would be a different result had it been individual preference... not that I am trying to give you more work...lol

nica575 - you are right, it was about which you thought Adam would choose and I will change my explanation accordingly. I would have ranked differently as well, if it had been strictly personal choice. Maybe we can consider other polls in the future
