One person (or, at most, two people) voting for the same contestant each day until he or she goes is not boring. That happens frequently in these shows and is my general chosen modus operandi. What is boring is for everyone else to simply vote the same way each day, which (however satisfying for them) removes any element of excitement from the "contest".

The situation is easy to remedy, though. Either Smith is voted off and the game can move on, or people stop voting en masse for the same character just to save him (which is hardly justified, given that only two at most are voting for him) and the snorefest becomes a proper contest.

The third option, as far as I am concerned, is simply to opt out and leave you all to your cosy arrangements. Which, as I said, is a distinct possibility the way things are going.
