Marche had a pretty good debut before his booting - 25th or so, I think - and that was fairly legit (amy and the alts didn't care about him at all). But he's always had a target on his back, even moreso this year because of his win. <.<
I think in many respects bland characters tend to do better (or, perhaps, are simply more consistent) in this contest simply because they're inoffensive enough to skirt by from round to round while the lightning rods draw the sniper fire. Terra definitely came in with a target on her back as well (and Vincent too). >.>
Oh, I don't kid myself about Marche's popularity (or Terra's for that matter). But I also think that some characters - like Marche and Terra and Vincent - tend to be more volatile in their rankings due to people actively trying to snipe them out at the first opportunity.
And up until now, Terra actually got the reverse benefit every year - remember how often people would throw Terra and/or Celes a vote "for raytan?" This year it was a bit of the opposite, I think. <.<
