I don't know how it is for others, but I don't really understand the score-keeping process and I don't vote according to how I think it works. I vote for the characters that I like, and if they happen to be the least popular, so be it - I take interest in seeing how the popularity trends play out. In this case there's no such thing as "throwing your vote away." Knowing that some people vote based purely on who they think has the best chance of winning sort of screws up the voting data, though. I don't really care to see how people are second-guessing what character is popular; I'd rather see what character is popular based on people voting for their preferences.

Now, if you're placing monetary bets on particular characters winning, that becomes a different story...
