WHICH TEAM SHOULD WIN PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD FOR MCB JR. 2017?
by Motor City Bhangra Competition
In a Facebook poll of 5,473 respondents, 41.9% chose “HUNNAR-E-PUNJAB”. How we count
Hunnar-e-Punjab led from day one, but day 3 flipped the whole race: Tag Giddha surged 40% ahead. It didn't last — by day 4 Hunnar-e-Punjab reclaimed the top spot and never let go again, holding a steady ~42% margin over Majajan Jatiyaan through all 33 remaining days to close at 41.9% of 5,473 votes.
The winning coalition skewed heavily female — about 74% of Hunnar-e-Punjab's gender-identified votes were women, far more lopsided than runner-up Majajan Jatiyaan's near-even 55/45 split. Geography split too: the two biggest vote blocs, the US and Bangladesh, both backed Hunnar-e-Punjab, but Canada's 309 votes broke ranks entirely for Punjabi Heritage and Folk Girls.
- Day 3 upset · Tag Giddha grabbed a 40% lead before fading to 2.1% overall
- Female-driven landslide · Hunnar-e-Punjab's identified voters ran about 74% women
- Canada broke ranks · Canada's 309 votes leaned Punjabi Heritage, not the eventual winner
- 34-day lock · No lead change after day 4 through the final day 37
