^Yes, and what it is is opinion - why must you persist in making it into fact? It's also hugely dependent on context, as has already been debated here: are you asking US citizens about watching a game (football) that is notoriously more loved outside of that country? Also I'm a GQ subscriber, British edition though, where interestingly Adriana (apart from a multiple-model VS cover for the 2008 show) hasn't graced it's cover - whilst Alessandra, Rosie, and Candice all have had individual ones in recent times. Outside of that VS tip so has Gisele, multiple times, plus other Brit-centric models such as Lara Stone (British husband) and Naomi Campbell. This would seem somewhat bad business sense, what with her being such a sure-fire fly-off-the-shelves winner, no?Anyway - I digress. It's not my intention to fall into that argument... My point is I feel bad in singling Lima fans out, what with sterling members such as MissLimaVzla and cherrybomb being amongst them, but it is always this curious off-shoot - the Limanati - incessantly trying to prove how she is the best. Why does it matter so much to you?
If I'm not mistaken, this particular bout of 'Why Lima Is The Best' began with a simple comparison of popularity between Adriana and Miranda and, leaving aside the rights and wrongs of that contretemps, I just wonder where all the riled Miranda fans are to prove why she is more popular? Similarly, as it always seems to, Gisele's name soon came up - but yet again all her fans aren't clogging up a thread about VS to say how she is the ultimate supermodel and more famous than anyone else. Which they could legitimately do.
I don't know why stats, percentages and polls are so important to you - but I don't see them so rampantly on any other thread save for Kate Upton's, and at least her fans keep it within the confines of her own thread (and again, she's been mentioned in this discussion too yet her fans aren't banging their war-drums here either). It only seems to be the Limanati that need to show us naysayers how we are wrong by following false idols.
And what does it all prove? NOTHING. You can show me popularity contests all you like, with as near to 100% approval ratings as will make you feel safe and secure in your bias beliefs, but Adriana being top of them still isn't going to mean shit to me as I don't really like her. You know the famous Mark Twain line (attributed to Benjamin Disraeli): 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics'? That's what all this is - using numbers to force some kind of truth. A nonsense to trumpet opinion as fact. MissLimaVzla put it more succinctly earlier: 'Everyone will believe whatever the hell they want.' And she's right. Nowt you can do to make us see sense I'm afraid - we're a lost cause...
