FB vote competition without votes indicator?Advise please

Hi guys, I hope it's ok to post my question on here.

I have entered Facebook competition to win trip to Hollywood. It is run my MTV UK. I have submited my photo entry and getting my friends to vote for me daily.:)
The trouble is, that it does not show how many votes do the entries have. So I don't know really if I have any chance..
Is this normal way to run voting competition? It seems quite unusual to me. I tried to contact MTV UK and they just responded saying "if I'm the winner I will find out".. :mad:

What do you think, is it ok or is it fishy?
Best wins ever:
2012: Holiday to LA for 2 adults +2 kids for 4 days
2013: £2 000 Virgin Holiday Voucher!
2014: $1000 spending money for hols
2015: 8 night holiday to Thailand

    Up to them if they want to show votes cast as it goes along
    If you saw the leaders had 10,000+ votes and you had a couple of hundered you would probably give up, by not showing totals it can keep people interested who have no chance of winning. MTV comps are ligit, I won from them several years ago.
