hardcore fans dislike Elissa
hardcore fans are aware of the nominees before casual fans are
casual fans voted for Aaryn, not knowing that Aaryn was up.
That being said, 99% of all the casual fans votes were negated.
hardcore fans voted for Elissa mixed with idiotic Brenchel fans
therefore, the 8-9% of the votes Elissa got was enough to send her packing.
I didn't really get this, but the real reason why Elissa is on the block is because a LOT of people thought they were voting for the MVP, not the third nominee.
