Who is your favorite male contestant?

Three thousand and seven votes, thirteen names on the ballot, and it still came down to a single vote. Jaseel finished with 616, Bobby with 615 — closer than one more or fewer voter could have swung either way. Jaseel's winning share was just 20.5%, proof that with a field this fractured, a plurality is the best anyone could claim.

The one-vote gap traces straight to geography. Indonesia, the single biggest bloc at 926 votes, backed Bobby; the United States, close behind at 836, backed Jaseel. The two countries all but canceled each other out. Bobby actually held the overall lead by day 4, only for Jaseel to retake it on day 5 and hold it to the finish.

• Margin of victory · Jaseel edged Bobby by exactly one vote, 616 to 615.

• Country vs. country · Indonesia's 926 votes went to Bobby; the U.S.'s 836 went to Jaseel.
