Talk:IStart a Fanwar/@comment-3196794-20101119184159

this is my opinion about the poll: it's a promotional tool. Like an interactive advertisement. It generates interest, keeps the fans coming back, gets them talking and pumps them up for the episode tonight. If 1 side goes and sees there ship losing like 80/20 you KNOW some will get upset, discouraged, rage at Dan (lol) and say they are not gonna watch the episode.

If it's 50/50 or pretty close, all fans go in on equal ground, everyone is excited and at the end it's all about getting ppl to watch. It's clearly not gonna change anything in the episode, it's about ratings.
