Well it's hard to say for sure but it's just possible that the (estimated) 63 empties I put in the recycling this morning may have contributed to the variance in last night's count, in which we ended up 6 votes short. When I re-did it this morning it seemed to fall in line. Small differences aside, Derek was the clear winner in either scenario. Unlike the rest of us he never had a round where he got killed - 1 or 0 votes.
