It makes sense Elissa was third nominee and here's why (with an example since people don't seem to understand simple math)

Most fans of the show who vote are NOT fans of Elissa. Now before you say "Well, if most fans are not Elissa fans, why did she get MVP first 3 weeks?", here's why.

The vote for MVP is distributed among 13,14,15, 16 house guests depending on the week. That means a houseguest can easily win with more than 6.25 % of the vote in week 1 (because 100%/16 = 6.25 %).  Let's assume Elissa got 10% of the votes each week for this example. That means the rest of the 90% are distributed among 13+ houseguests, which means every houseguest can get less than 10% of the vote. The point of this is to show that Elissa does NOT need more than 50% of the vote to win BBMVP. Most idiots think that the majority of America (majority means >50%) must have voted her BBMVP. You can tell these idiots they don't understand simple math.  Elissa just needs the most % of the votes out of all the houseguests to win MVP, and she can easily get it with numbers as low as 7%, 8%, 10% etc.

With the twist and America's vote, this allowed 90% of all fans (or whatever large number of fans that are NOT Elissa fans) to focus their votes on Elissa, because they don't want her getting BBMVP anymore, they hate Rachel, whatever reason etc.

90% is a LOT, who fucking knew?! But keep in mind this 90% are not all Elissa haters. It makes sense that a lot of this 90% can still like Elissa but like another houseguest even more, meaning they probably voted another houseguest for thier BBMVP pick (and still lost...in the first 3 weeks). But still...this doesn't nullify the fact that there more Elissa haters than Elissa fans.

So that's why Elissa is nominated.

The other reason that is very plausible that contributed to her getting nominated is that people accidentally voted for Elissa thinking it was for BBMVP. But again, her fans could easily make up as little as 7 or 8% of the fan population, so the majority of the votes this week for Elissa were done ON PURPOSE. I'll give most of the Rachel/Elissa fans the benefit of the doubt and assume they can read and listen correctly, so...<1% of the fans can't read or listen correctly? Not as much as America seems to think.

Please spread this information to other fans who think America voted accidentally for Elissa, because it's an insult to fans who did vote for her on purpose
