Gasper Marguc took Round 10 with 978 votes, but the number underneath the number is the story: his backers split 53% men to 47% women, close to even. Runner-up Ivan Nikcevic drew a 73% male room, and third-place Igor Karacic's was 78% male — both nearly all-men crowds, and both lost anyway.

The margin held for the full 4 days with no lead change, but who showed up varied sharply by option. Nearly 29% of Marguc's votes came from declared fans of the poll's page, versus just 5% of Nikcevic's and 10% of Karacic's — his support wasn't just bigger, it was broader, pulling casual and committed voters alike while the chasers leaned on narrow, mostly-male blocs.
