The tenth season of Vote for the Girls, also known as Vote for the Girls with Ava Zinn & Alexandra Moffitt, premiered on August 20, 2018 and was initially called on December 18, 2018, but after internal review will conclude on September 9, 2019. Ava Zinn officially announced Vote for the Girls's renewal in May 2017.[1]
Ava Zinn returned for her tenth consecutive season with Thia Tola, Lanise White, Kendra Ray, Danni McClannahan, Kathi Jameson, and Karly Jameson returning for their fifth season; Nadia Lorenzo, Maribel Mort, Maci Blanca, Sophia Blanca, Natasha Gower, Jenny Riva, Tulissa Kümmert, Rachael Passalt, Hannah Wilson, Kylie Dwyar, Marti McDaniel, Breeanna Sorensen, Bria Savage, Jacqui Fountaine, Tim Doogan, Donna Doogan also returned for their third season as well as Alexandra Moffitt, Andrea Coolranch, Karla Hansen, Marla McClinton, Jenna Monroe, Devin Martin, Sonia Donbar returning for their second season. Luka Runecraft, Lydia Delagatto, Lauren Herman, Liza Black, Eboni Hill, Lauren Rodriguez, Leanna Claussen, and Karen DuBois moved from Zinn's Villains to the moderator panel. Cathryn Swaringen was the only addition to the moderator panel.
Clark Jones returned for his sixth season as well as Phil Allen, Steve Baker, Kye Sanchez, returning for a third season, Hunter Diaz, Bryant Cortos, Dan Doakes, and Louis Durant returning for a second season as Zinn's Villains.
This was the first full season to be produced and recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana after nine seasons in Marion, Indiana. Founder and host Ava Zinn was absent for most of the season due to Zinn and her company (Aeverine Zinn Holdings) moving from Marion to Fort Wayne and the legal consequences Zinn is currently facing due to her move as well as relaunching her animated sitcom Queen of the Willis. Karly Jameson, Rachael Passalt, Kendra Ray, and WTOR anchorman Frank Davidson rotated as guest hosts to fill in for Zinn to co-host with Alexandra Moffitt, yet Zinn oversaw most of the season to make sure that her high quality standards are retained, but was otherwise not involved.
It is also the first season featuring only eight villains due to layoffs and the final season to feature Tim Doogan prior to his death on February 2, 2019.
Glenn Swaringen, Ted Shields,Peta-Alyce Kaizer, Benjamin Donbar, Carrie Ewan died during the previous season while Kent Morgan, Sally Brock were terminated during the previous season.
For the second time since the sixth season, the site posted Classic Vote for the Girls in place of The Voice 15 Final results, despite Chevel Shepard and Kennedy Holmes as the remaing females who advanced to that show's finale as well as the entire seventeenth season of American Idol and the sixteenth season of The Voice. In the interiim, a 10th Anniversary Tournament took place in which Danielle Bradbery defeated Jena Asciutto, Addison Agen, and Christiana Danielle. Although Bobby Bones, Chevel Shepard, Laine Hardy, and Maelyn Jarmon respectively won DWTS 27 , The Voice 15, American Idol 17, and The Voice 16, Ava Zinn overruled and allowed Bones' DWTS and Hardy's Idol victories respectively with the Moderators' Save of Evanna Lynch and Madison Vanderburg (as those respective female contestants finished third in both competitions as well as the last girl standing in both competitions) that allowed Donna Doogan to become the winning moderator of Dancing with the Stars 27, The Voice 15 (with Phil Allen), American Idol 17 (with Clark Jones), and The Voice 16 (with Jacqui Fountaine, Phil Allen, and Clark Jones). Additionally, Jarmon's victory on The Voice 16 allowed Zinn's Duets pick, Bridget Carrington, in the Vote for the Girls Hall of Fame as John Legend was the winning coach of The Voice 16.
