Chronology
◀ Season 6 Spring Cycle ►

The spring cycle of the sixth season of Vote for the Girls began on February 25, 2015. It is also the only cycle to feature Tracia Ward as moderator.

This cycle marks three firsts in the site's history:

• This season is the first to have a "Male Moderator Crew" that was scheduled for the following season, but due to the site's dismal record (as the site's only victory of 2014 was from the nineteenth season of Dancing with the Stars) and ratings plunge during the fall cycle (Ava Zinn posted on her Twitter page the site itself plunged as much as 61 percent on the site's YouTube channel compared to the same period in the previous season.) The male moderators, Leonard Lai and Clark Jones (both transgender males), unlike the main moderator panel (as they are all females and transgender females) make their Vote for the Girls picks while the Male Moderator's job is to make their Vote for the Worst picks and preventing a Vote for the Girls victory and offering a buyout to the moderator(s) to quit the respective competition before the program's results are revealed and Zinn will then inform the moderators of the Male Moderatror's "offer", the amount of which depends on the number of female contestants remaining in the competition, in exchange for not to continue with the competition.
• Another addition was the "Moderator's Veto," which was first used before the So You Think You Can Dance season 11 finale to veto Valerie Rockey's loss to Ricky Ubela, who would have gave the site its first SYTYCD loss. The Moderators' Veto was used again before the The Voice season 7 finale to veto DaNica Shirey's elimination, which would have gave the site its second consecutive loss on The Voice following Shirey's elimination in the Quarter-Final (Top 8.)
• On the fourteenth season of American Idol, Riley Bria became the first male vocalist as a pick for the site's female moderators on the Pink Team (Holly Everman, Kellie Rock, Lanise White, and Tracia Ward) while the transwomen on the Purple Team (Ava Zinn & Kymberly Alvaraz, Julia Passalt, Kendra Ray, and Rhonda Rhodes) had to choose him as either a Best of Worst or a Vote for the Worst pick. Nick Fradiani became the first "Alex & Sierra" Idol pick as a Vote for the Girls pick for the site and chose him based on the fact that his girlfriend (Ariana Gavrilis, known as Yanni G) both auditioned separately yet present in the same room, marking the first time the website had supported a male American Idol contestant based on vocals and appearance alone in the case of Riley Bria and under the Alex & Sierra Rule in the case of Nick Fradiani.

Boycotted Contestants (Vote for the Worst Picks) and Male Moderator Deals

The moderators also chose their picks who they would hate to see win. With the addition of the Moderators' Veto introduced, the site will not declare a loss in the event should a male contestant win. 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.

Controversy

Pink Team Moderators' Picks

After posting their picks, moderator Holly Everman was subject to much criticism, particularly on Twitter, over her Vote for the Girls picks. Everman posted on her Wordpress site defending her decision to allow Riley Bria and Nick Fradiani as VFTG picks. Fans compared Everman's picks were just as bad as Ava selling off her virginity the year before. She also defended the fact that the winning moderator of the nineteenth season of Dancing with the Stars, this entitled her and her fellow Pink team moderators allowing Riley and Nick as VFTG picks.
