The fifth season of Vote for the Girls, also known as Vote for the Girls 2014 premiered on October 1, 2013, and called on April 18, 2014. Ava Zinn and Holly Everman returned for their fifth season as did Michelle Steele for what would be her second and final season. Three new moderators, Ariel Swaringen, Kellie Rock, and Kathi Jameson, signed on to replace Hillary Matthewson who left after one season.

The season was the first (and thus far only) season to have six moderators. It was also the first season to have a Fall and Spring Cycles with the Fall cycle starting with the third and final season of the U.S. X Factor and the Spring cycle starting with the thirteenth season of American Idol. It was also the first season in the site's history where the fall cycle went undefeated with the victories of Alex & Sierra and Tessanne Chin, therefore making it the first to have a "perfect calendar year" (2013). It was also the first season in the site's history that a season was called before the competition ended, as well as the spring cycle with an imperfect (or winless) season that was later reversed during the following season. It is also the first season in which a male-female duo was chosen as a Vote for the Girls pick (Alex & Sierra) and later won.

On April 18, 2014 following the American Idol 13 Top 7 results, Ava Zinn called off the competition due to the level of conflict with the American public deciding not to support VFTG picks of Christina Grimmie, Tess Boyer, Bria Kelly, Sisaundra Lewis, Audra McLaughlin on The Voice as well as MK Nobilette, Majesty Rose, Malaya Watson, Jessica Meuse, and Jena Irene (Asciutto) on American Idol, and keeping said female contestants out of the bottom group, with viewers managed to upset the site.

This was the only season to feature Swaringen as moderator, who on March 22, 2014 died of natural causes. Steele resigned on March 6, 2014 and later died on May 10, 2014 in a car accident.
