The United States is the biggest bloc in this poll — 2,525 votes — and it lined up behind Briana Orgeron, whose son's fight with dwarfism built a 26% lead on day 1. She never trailed among American voters. She still lost the poll.
On day 2, Serbia arrived: 1,283 votes, breaking almost entirely for Tabatha Yates. That single bloc erased Briana's lead and handed Tabatha a 32% edge by day 2, stretching to 42% by the close. A full-time student working two jobs beat a hometown favorite because a second country outvoted the first.
- Home crowd, wrong winner · United States, the largest bloc, backed Briana — who still lost
- Day 1 to day 2 flip · Briana's 26% lead became a 32% deficit overnight
- Serbia's decisive bloc · 1,283 votes arrived day 2, nearly all for Tabatha
