The biggest shock to me here is that the guy who filled his list out backward thought Diadem and another card were worse than Bag of Gold.
Assuming all of the outliers were from the same person, it looks like his list was as follows:
1. Diadem ("It was voted ... only on #4 and #5 except once where it was voted first.")
2. Princess
3. Bag of Gold ("It was ... never above #3.")
4. Trusty Steed ("It was voted ... never last and once on #4.")
5. Followers ("It was ... always between #1 and #3 except once where it was voted last.")
After correcting the inversion, this is the same the final results, except for ranking Bag of Gold higher, which seems plausible to me. Some players think free Gold is amazing, especially if they still favor BM over engines (a preference that would also lead to ranking Princess and Diadem lower).
I agree that this is probably the same guy who voted Duchess, Fortune Teller, and Scout "first."
