The popularity tracker so far...
So I decided to copy out the first post of each page and put it in a chart so that we can see how HMs have been tracking over time. This first link goes to a chart of that data:

It's interesting to see the shifting of HMs, like Drew and Jade recently. It's also telling that the last 4 evictees are right near 0 - clearly not generating enough interest in voting for them regardless.
I also decided to rescale every data point from 0-100. Clearly as the numbers explode over time, it gets harder to read the earlier data. This second link goes to a chart of that data:

This one shows the early volatility - tim's early struggles, Tahan's rise and fall - but also shows the relative stability since then. It's also good for the trending around Drew and Jade seen in the previous map, as well as others whose movement may have been smaller or over longer periods, like Ed, Mikayla and Heidi.
I think if I update this, I'll probably focus on the second chart. I'm more likely to do so if you find it interesting, so let me know (just mention it in your own voting post - no need to flood the thread with extra posts)
Note: if you follow the links, and the click on the image, then click on the link at the bottom to "view raw image", you'll see them in full-size.
