Vote for the Girls (United States) moderator rivalries

From Ava Zinn Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

As with all sports leagues, there are a number of significant rivalries in the American version of Vote for the Girls. Rivalries are occasionally created due to a particular event that causes bad blood between moderators, families, fans, or rarely the high school and/or college alma matter, but for the most part, they arise simply due to the frequency with which some moderators to compete as the winning moderator, and sometimes exist for geographic reasons.

Purely geographic rivalries is common on the web site, since crosstown and in-state rivals typically have more competitions (and therefore more opportunities to play other teams). A main factor in the fact that crosstown and in-state rivals are almost always in opposing pink and purple teams is history: in the four current markets (Indianapolis/Fort Wayne, Green Bay/Milwaukee, Denver, Chicago) that have two moderators from those particular markets, one (Ava Zinn in Van Buren, Indiana) that was born a boy eventually transitioned to female and had been loyal to the adjacent markets (Ava Zinn in Fort Wayne).

As the web site rapidly expanded since 2012, Zinn opted not to go through an extensive geographical realignment, and instead at the start of 2014, Zinn, Michelle Steele, and Kathi Jameson the basis of the purple team (all transwomen), and Holly Everman, Ariel Swaringen, and Kellie Rock formed the basis of the pink team (all females); as a result, each moderator's team ended up in an opposite from their crosstown and/or in-state rival (Zinn and Steele on the purple team and Everman and Swaringen on the pink team).

There were two female and transfemale moderators that do compete, and had rivalries with, moderators outside the American version of Vote for the Girls. Ava Zinn, Kendra Ray, Tracia Ward and Thia Tola were also moderators on the web site's United Kingdom adaptation as the same with Ava Zinn, Lanise White, Rachael Passalt, and Thia Tola were also moderators on the Australian version.


The oldest Vote for the Girls rivalry, dating back to the April 28, 2010 debut, consists of the two remaining charter moderators: the Ava Zinn and Holly Everman. The longest rivalry was between Robyn (Hurd) Matthewson (1961-2012)/|Kellie Rock (1964-2016) and Holly Everman (they did not compete against each other on two occasions: Hurd's 2012 death until Rock joined the moderator panel, though).

In the purple team, Ava Zinn and Julia Passalt have the longest rivalry began at the start of the web site's fall cycle of the sixth season in 2014. Both Zinn and Passalt both respectively transitioned in 2004 and 2007. After Kymberly Alvaraz began dating Zinn, and moved from the pink to the purple team, all of Alvaraz's Pink Team rivalries absorbed into Ava Zinn's.

Foundation

Purely geographic rivalries are uncommon on Vote for the Girls, since crosstown rivals do not commonly play each other nearly as often as in other leagues that have more matchups (and therefore more opportunities to play other teams). A main factor in the fact that crosstown rivals are almost always in opposing conferences is history: in these current markets (New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Francisco Bay Area, Atlanta, Denver, Indianapolis, Milwaukee/Green Bay, and Fort Wayne) that have two molderators or villains, all have one (Nadia Lorenzo in New York, Jenny Riva & Tulissa Kummert in Los Angeles, Kathi Jameson in Chicago, Thia Tola & Natasha Gower in Oakland, Sonia Donbar in Atlanta, Janet Webb in Denver, Karly Jameson in Indianapolis, Lanise McClannahan in Milwaukee/Green Bay, and Ava Zinn in Fort Wayne are members of the Purple Team and Jacqui Fountaine in Chicago, Kylie Dwyar in Denver/Milwaukee, Cathryn Swaringen & Olivia Everman in Marion/Muncie/Indianapolis, Luka Runecraft & Lydia Delagatto in Milwaukee/Madison, and in Fort Wayne, Alexandra Moffitt and Maribel Mort are members of the Pink Team) that are members of the in the Female Moderators. After Vote for the Worst closed in 2013, all VFTW moderators teams had to be retained, even if it meant multiple moderators in one metropolitan area. The newly merged league opted not to go through an extensive geographical realignment, and instead, the VFTW formed the basis of the Male Villains, and the old VFTG formed the basis of the Female Moderators; as a result, each moderator or villain ended up in an opposite conference from their crosstown rival.

Categories

Division rivals

Matches between opponents in the same division. Occasionally, two moderators or villains will play three times in a season if they meet again in the playoffs.

Intra-team rivals

Competitions between opposing moderators in the same team. Since 2015, there are four moderator team leagues in four sex/gender identity divisions (male, transfemale, female, and transmale). When the site added duo moderators in 2015 typically moderators in the same immediate family or in a long-term relationship as is the case currently with Ava Zinn, Holly Everman, Tracia Ward, Lanise White, Ann Dwyar, and Kathi Jameson. Thus, every moderator, regardless of his or her age, could fairly be said to have at least two primary rivals. Occasionally, two moderators will compete various times in a year if they meet again in the finale to become the winning moderator (either via Vote for the Girls victory or moderator's veto to decline the VFTG Loss).

Conference rivals

Competitions between opposing moderators in different divisions but within the same sex or gender identity (male vs. transmale or female vs. transfemale). When the site added the Male Moderator panel in 2015 the men are forbidden to compete in the Dancing with the Stars make-up competition. Occasionally, two moderators will compete various times in a year if they meet again in the finale to become the winning moderator.

Inter-conference

Competitions between opposing moderators in different sex/gender identities. Female and transfemale moderators always choose the female contestant and typically do not choose a male soloist or a predominately male group on any given regular or make-up competition (defined as Vote for the Girls picks) while the male and transmale moderators always choose the male contestant and typically do not choose a female soloist, a predominately male group, or a male-female duo on said regular or make-up competition (known as the Ava Zinn version of Vote for the Worst since 2013 and Villain Picks since 2015) and most often on the web site since the April 28, 2010 launch usually sees a Vote for the Worst supported contestant go head-to-head against a Vote for the Girls supported contestant in the competition's finale. After the Dave Della Terza version of Vote for the Worst closed in May 2013, the female and transfemale moderators typically make their Vote for the Worst picks (all of them are male contestants) and are not revealed by the web site until the end of the competition or all of the male contestants are eliminated, at which the site claims a victory and the female moderators are rewarded for the victory. For instance, given the American Idol 12 competition as a reference, all of the males were eliminated before the females as after the elimination of Lazaro Arbos (which was the last male contestant chosen by Vote for the Worst for that web site closed, but often chose the same picks as a Vote for the Girls supported contestant), then after Vote for the Worst closed the Ava Zinn version of Vote for the Worst are always male contestants and the male and transmale moderators choose them to prevent the web site from climing a victory unless the female and transfemale moderators use their Moderators' Save to decline the loss.
