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.

Moderator Picks


Boycotted Contestants

Starting with this season, the moderators also chose their picks who they would hate to see win. During the previous four seasons of Vote for the Girls, the site competed against Vote for the Worst and later Vote Against The Producers.

In an interview, Ava Zinn was planning to acquire the votefortheworst.com domain in February 2014, only to discover that the previous owner renewed the domain. Because the site never votes for male contestants, and to maintain the integrity of Vote for the Girls, the moderators' Vote for the Worst picks are not revealed until the end of the competition or if there are no male contestants left in the competition.

Like the previous four seasons, the site's moderators face a Punishment for failure.

Names in bold red indicate VFTG Loss and Losing Moderator.

X Factor III

REWARD FOR VICTORY:[citation needed]

The Voice V

The Voice 5 Boycotted Contestants

After the elimination of Holly Henry, all the moderators except Ava Zinn have any remaining supported contestants.

American Idol XII

PUNISHMENT FOR FAILURE: The moderators were forced to participate in the So You Think You Can Dance 11 make-up competition for failing to support Jena Irene to the victory[5]. However, because of the nature of the defeat of Christina Grimmie and Josh Kaufman's win a day earlier on The Voice plus Jena Irene's defeat, the transwomen (Ava Zinn and Kathi Jameson) wore strapless tops with Zinn wearing thong panties occasionally throughout the summer (this was evident during the Rising Star competition in the following season's summer cycle), while the female moderators (Kellie Rock and Holly Everman) bind their breasts with Rock appearing as a Breast Cancer survivor as she had a double mastectomy and Everman (after shaving her traditionally long hair immediately following the American Idol loss) appearing as a female-to-male transgender individual.


The Voice VI

PUNISHMENT FOR FAILURE: Because Christina Grimmie finished third place resulting in the site's first loss on The Voice, the moderators will not shave their legs for the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness. However, because of the nature of the loss after Kaufman's win, since a resident of Indiana won, the moderators faced not shaving their legs for No Shave November [6] and forced to participate in a make-up competition America's Got Talent.

Notes

  1. ↑ The American Idol 13 and The Voice 6 competitions marked the first time in the site's history that conflict with the contestants from American Idol and The Voice prevented Zinn from completing the season. The male contestants on both competitions were mostly "white guys with guitars," which are never VFTG picks The competitions became increasingly heated and the American public reacted defensively, refusing to accept the truth about WGWG's, and blaming others for no reason. During one episode, Zinn concludes, "I think the competition's too far gone". After the eliminations of MK Nobilette, Majesty Rose, Malaya Watson, and Jessica Meuse landed in the bottom two the week following Watson's elimination, and Zinn tells in a YouTube video on April 18, 2014, the competition that's basically lopsided with dreaded WGWG's are not normal for this kind of competition and announces that she would be auctioning off her virginity, and it is implied that she called off the competition for that reason. Though Zinn's picks remained valid.
  2. ↑ Upon learning of Malaya Watson was announced as the act with lowest number of votes for Top 7 reveal night on April 10, 2014, and taking offense of UK moderator counterpart Khayla Chow (by calling Chow a "bi-black bimbo") during the viewing of the Malaya's final performance Chow shoved Everman to the ground sparking the Vote for the Girls brawl. Hours later on the early morning hours of April 11, 2014, Everman was arrested under suspicion of DUI in Indianapolis, Indiana. Everman was suspended from April 14 to April 28. Though Everman's picks for The Voice remained valid.

  1. ↑ The pick of MK Nobilette was only available to Zinn, Steele, and Jameson. The VFTG pick of Nobilette drew controversy. This brought some angry responses on the site's Twitter page. Some even criticized Zinn for the decision for declaring Nobilette as a "transman" pick and earlier drew criticism on the United Kingdom version when that site declared James Byron as a "transgirl" pick on the third series of The Voice UK. Zinn's decision to declare the transman pick did not sit well with the transgender community despite the fact Zinn, a transgender woman herself (as well as Steele and Jameson) and the fact that much of the moderator panel are considered lesbians (Zinn, Steele, and Jameson are such transwomen as a result of their gender transitions their sexual orientation is considered to be lesbian (prior to their transitions, Zinn, Steele, and Jameson were all heterosexual males until 2004, 2012, and 2011, respectively) while Swaringen, Rock, and Everman--biological women--have came out as bisexuals in 2010, 1994, and 2000, respectively. In Zinn's defense, she mentioned that if fans want to vote for a male contestant -- MK Nobilette is the closest pick. Though there was speculation this spawned the brawl four weeks after Nobilette's elimination.
  2. ↑ Tied with VFTG pick Lauren Alaina as longest running pick until Jena Irene broke the record of 14 weeks.
  3. ↑ Initially VFTG Loss. Due to Jena Irene's record-breaking streak on the web site, the loss was overturned after the Vote for the Girls 100 Women Picked special aired. As a result, the two moderators' vetoes and VFTG Victories made this a perfect season. Winning moderator is Ava Zinn.
  4. ↑ Zinn initially chose Nobilette as a Best of Worst pick, but changed to a male pick based on appearance.
