Ross, Alicia and Finn took the top spots from the start and never looked back. However, for the majority of the vote, they were all chopping and changing. Finn fell behind during the last part of the vote, but it was still extremely close between Ross and Alicia - just three points in it. Zak was very consistent - well behind the top three, but a big enough gap from fifth to keep him out of trouble all the way through. Rhona and Lachlan were fighting for fifth place throughout the entire vote, and whilst Lachlan did hit the fifth spot for a few votes, Rhona was there for the majority of the time. Paddy was in 7th place throughout and I had written him off - the gap between himself and Rhona/Lachlan was quite a chunk, but about three quarters from the end, he started getting a fair few decent rankings, whilst Lachlan in particular started to suffer and he was behind quite a bit in the end. The battle wasn't over for Rhona, though, as despite Lachlan falling behind, she now had to deal with Paddy on her tail. Rhona held him off until the very last vote, where Paddy took fifth place by two points! Amelia, Samson and Jai remained at the bottom all the way through.

No question about who was top and bottom for me though.
