My immediate reaction is I was seriously pissed off and disappointed with the poll and I think it was a bit scummy running it the way they did. That said, I actually don't mind the 1:1 ratio too much if they stick with it.
I came to this to play Glamour (Kate) long before Max was a part of it... the game I came to play is being eroded and I'm "forced" into playing an entirely different game.
What truly pisses me off is the last poll where the got the 2:1 ratio, they never stuck with it, there where a few (maybe at least one, but it felt like more) occasions where they did 2 max in a row even after him losing the vote. I think they should have acknowledged this and gone with 2 more Kate as promised and then 1:1. Now it's 2:2 then vote again to rig it more. FFS just do the 1:1 and stick with it for a while.
I love the Kate story and version, I've not tried the max route at all, I tried the previous BB but quit it fairly soon. Honestly I'm at a point now where if there was a remake of the kate story by someone else with good enough renders I'd drop this and go there. I've over the arguments here about which route etc and the 3 million repeats of the same stupid questions every time there is an update.
