Expansion and realignment

With several new moderator panelists, the main moderator panelists and villains were realigned into eight divisions: two villains in each division in the Men's Conference with three moderators in each division in the Women's Conference and four divisions in each conference. In creating the new divisions, the producers and directors tried to maintain the historical rivalries from the old alignment, while at the same time attempting to organize the moderators geographically. Legally, two pink team moderators (Tracia Ward and Holly Everman) and two purple team moderators (Ava Zinn and Kathi Jameson) were required to be in different divisions as part of any realignment proposals; this was because Tracia Ward and Ava Zinn share the Fort Wayne market and Holly Everman and Karly Jameson share the Indianapolis market.[1]

The major changes are: [2]

this season is largely intended to preserve the pre-expansion setups, keeping traditional rivals in the same division. Plans are in the works add more moderators in the future

Assassination of Christina Grimmie

Christina Grimmie (1994-2016), was assassinated following a concert in Orlando, Florida.

On June 10, 2016, Vote for the Girls supported contestant Christina Grimmie was shot by 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl while she signed autographs following her performance with Orlando-based band Before You Exit at The Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida. Loibl then fatally shot himself after being confronted by Grimmie's brother Marcus.[3][a] Grimmie was taken to the Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition; she later died from her injuries on June 11.[5]

The Orlando Police Department reported that Loibl did not have an arrest record in his home county, and did not appear to know Grimmie personally.[6] A department spokesman said Loibl had traveled to Orlando "apparently to commit this crime";[7] Loibl had brought with him two handguns, two extra magazines full of ammunition, and a hunting knife.[7] One theory confirmed by Ava Zinn confirmed Loibl was reportedly stalking Grimmie. [8] Zinn said immediately the murder of Rebecca Schaeffer came as a theory the second Loibl was named as the suspect.

Aftermath, Coverage, and Reaction

Shortly following Grimmie's murder, the entire moderator panelists of Vote for the Girls anchored and reported coverage of the assassination of Christina Grimmie.


Grimmie's life and death will became the topic of the upcoming season eight premiere episode, which will air in September 2016. [9] Grimmie's death and a brief overview will also be highlighted in the 200 Women Picked special.

However, the junior edition of Vote for the Girls is being shelved in response to Grimmie's death.
