HALIBAVG VS KQ | 16 KNOCK OUT

KQ never trailed. It opened at 67% on day one, then surged to 81% by day 3 and held that altitude the rest of the way, cruising to a final 80.4%-to-19.6% rout over 21,026 votes to HALIBAVG's 5,120. There was no comeback to track — just a knockout that got more decisive as it went.

The real split was gender, not geography. Men broke almost 5-to-1 for KQ (18,858 to 3,954) while women split closer, 1,514 to 997 — women were HALIBAVG's best relative audience. Thailand alone cast 9,553 votes and every top country, from AP to Russia, leaned KQ; only tiny Sweden bucked the trend for HALIBAVG.
