Yeah, I thought they'd count as well too because most of the ones who were never in a bottom two of some season never got any votes against them in that season (it's not to say some of them never get at least one though). True, I forgot about Izzy in TDWT in this case.

Well, the order of receiving symbol of safety is more often random though, until the last two/three/four contestants. You know, on most of ocassions, a lot of people didn't get any votes for them, but only one contestant had the first marshmallow of the episode, second, etc.
