This 12 months through the September spherical was additionally the primary time we ever had co-stars share a tie-win. That’s all to say that the actual fact this contest ended not simply in a tie, however a tie involving co-stars is extraordinary. What maybe makes this all of the extra extraordinary was the sheer quantity of votes making the percentages of a tie much more unimaginable. This was a full-on battle that noticed Alba Baptista and Kristina Tonteri-Young repeatedly tie earlier than one would take the lead then a short time later they might tie once more and the opposite particular person would then take the lead. It simply so occurs that simply as voting ended the hole closed as soon as once more and so they ended up locked in a tie outcome. The strain was on them since fellow Netflix outcast Sarah Catherine Hook from First Kill surged the final day and was nipping proper at their heels continually threatening to overhaul them. The Warrior Nun fandom was very clearly divided in regard to which of the celebrities to help and if voting had gone on only a tiny bit longer it is vitally seemingly Hook would have overtaken them.
