This circular logic is round
As you say, "man, this riddle ain't sound."
Respecting your thoughts I rebound,
Deflecting the critics abound.
May I take all your slings and your darts,
For the beauty of riddling's an art.
Judge not with your mind but your heart
Or this bulletin all falls apart.
But 'fore you give words too much credit,
Quit thinking the meaning's inherent.
Complain, go ahead, you have merit
Suggesting I seek one to edit.
Gone be the verses and quatrains.
Purged are the rhyming campaigns.
Hack even the words this contains.
Kick 'em out, and so little remains.
Now likely you doubt my pretense:
Initially this riddle made sense.
Launch into logicking: whence
Eponymous game I dispense?

Nice list!
Least favorite... so we want our least favorite to "win" by being at the top of the list?
If I'm wrong, reverse my votes.

Awesome work!
I actually went ahead and solved the entire mega-puzzle without touching this specific puzzle. If anyone wants to tackle the other puzzles and want hints, I can offer them. (Except for this puzzle (which is the Optimus Prime puzzle) and Spock.)

@psykomakia
Davey throws 100 darts hitting 90, Ian throws 10 darts and hitting 8 = 98 hits (as you said)
But to be fair Alex need to throw 110 darts and he would then hit 106.7 times. (he is still in a better position)
Davey throws 100 darts. Alex throws 100 darts. Ian throws 100 darts. Say Davey misses the last ten. Ian has also thrown a "last ten" and will miss 20% of them. 90 Davey made + 8 Ian makes in the last ten = 98.

I'm sure there is something wrong with this logic, but...
Davey will hit the target 90% of the time.
In the 10% of the time that he misses, Ian will hit the target 80% of the time.
So if Davey throws 100 darts, he will hit 90 times.
In the 10 times he misses, Ian will (likely) hit the target 8 times.
They will combine for a score of 98 times.
Alex, of course, would hit the target 97 times.

Based on?
Edit to add: Why would MikeD vote for a fellow baddie to lynch, and be a decisive vote? He could easily have voted for anyone else without raising suspicion.
