Template:VFTG UK 3 Changes
Moderators, presenters and other personnel[edit]
It was widely speculated and reported on 25 October 2014 that Kendra Ray would not return for series 3 for her role in the fatal shooting of former moderator Khayla Chow in the United States. However, Kendra confirmed on 31 December 2014 that she will return to the moderator panel while Rhonda Rhodes announced she will not return to the panel citing other commitments as the reason of her departure. However, it was speculated that former moderator Kathi Jameson, who had been on the panel in the first series would join the remaining four moderators from series 2, Ava Zinn, Nermal Everman, Kendra Ray and Tracia Ward, ending rumours that Zinn may leave to focus on Vote for the Girls USA, Vote for the Girls Australia, the revival of her popular television news insider site INNewsCenter in the United States, as well as her relationship with new partner Kymberly Alvaraz after Kymberly was found not guilty of second degree involuntary manslaughter and be replaced by potential co-hosts Rhonda Rhodes and Lanise White.
On 6 July 2015, Nermal Everman drowned in the White River in Muncie, Indiana[1][2] after a resident walking near the Cardinal Greenway in Muncie,[2] found Everman's body. Police[1] in Muncie, Indiana and the Delaware County's health department found that the water had not been contaminated after the city experienced major flooding in the area prior to Everman's death. Nermal's auntie, Holly Everman, filled in for the remainder of Nermal's contract.
On 10 September 2016, Karly Ryder, Jr., who has previously judged the American and Australian versions, announced on her programme in the United States that she will be joining the moderator panel. On 11 September, it was confirmed that Rachael Passalt, who is the transgendered daughter of Vote for the Girls USA moderator Julia Passalt, would join the panel as the sixth moderator.
Following Ryder's wedding to former moderator Kathi Jameson on 7 October 2015, it was announced by producers that she would be known throughout the series as her new married name, Karly Jameson.
Fewer shows[edit]
This year, there were fewer shows than usual due to the United Kingdom's Rugby World Cup games in October and launched after the World Cup.[3] In fact, the shows began on 31 October and continued until 19 December, airing every Sunday night in the regular timeslots.[4]
The third series of Vote for the Girls featured a number of major changes to its format and talent. Some of these changes came in response to the falling popularity and viewership; viewership of the second series had fallen by 27%.
