Vote for the Girls is an internet website franchise created by American entrepreneur Ava Zinn. It originated in the United States, where it was devised as her answer to Vote for the Worst. As of 2014, VFTG held in three countries: United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. The web series programs are produced by executive producer Ava Zinn and her company Aeverine Zinn Holdings. Vote for the Girls is a website devoted for voting for only female contestants, based on the original US website.
The American site started in 2010, which is devoted to voting for the female contestants on the Fox Network television series American Idol as well as The X Factor, and the NBC Network television series The Voice. Smaller campaigns have also been started on the site for ABC's Duets.
On Vote for the Girls (VFTG), fans of the site are encouraged to "only vote for female contestants" - call in and vote for who, they view, as to end the male winning streak on Idol. According to the site, the purpose is "to support voting for the entertaining contestants who the producers would love to see win on American Idol" in order to make it a "real good show."
The similarities between Vote for the Girls and Vote for the Worst prompted VFTW creator Dave Della Terza, to heavily criticize VFTG until Terza's site closed in May 2013.
Unlike VFTW, where the site promotes votes for the worst, most entertaining, most hated or quirkiest contestants chosen by a public vote and the moderators only critique about the competition, on VFTG (which is somewhat rare of web sites) all decisions fall under one person, Zinn; and occasionally the moderators. As well as VFTW, new web site as of June 2013 Vote Against the Producers has become a rival web site to VFTG.
