The American web site ''[[Vote for the Girls (United States)|Vote for the Girls]]'' has, since its 2010 launch, employed a number of [[wikipedia:antagonist|antagonists]], commonly known as the '''''Vote for the Girls'' Moderator Panel''', or female moderators, competing against the male moderators or [[Zinn's Villains|Zinn's]] [[wikipedia:villain|villains]].

The '''female moderators of [[Vote for the Girls (United States)|''Vote for the Girls'']]''' ('''Moderators''') is one of the two [[wikipedia:Conference (sports)|conferences]] of the American web site ''Vote for the Girls''. The American web site has since its 2010 launch, employed a number of [[wikipedia:antagonist|antagonists]], commonly known as the '''''Vote for the Girls'' Moderator Panel''', or female moderators, competing against the male moderators or [[Zinn's Villains|Zinn's]] [[wikipedia:villain|villains]].
 +
 
 +
 
 +
This conference and its counterpart, the [[Zinn's Villains]] (Villains), currently contain 16 indivudlals each, making up the 32 individuals of Vote for the Girls. <!--------- Both conferences were created as part of the [[AFL–NFL merger|1970 merger]] with the rival [[American Football League]] (AFL), with all ten of the former AFL teams and three NFL teams forming the AFC, and the remaining thirteen NFL clubs forming the NFC. --------> A series of expansions and division realignments have occurred since the launch of ''Vote for the Girls'', thus making the current total 16 clubs per each conference.
 +
<!------
 +
Since the web site's launch,  [[Ava Zinn]] have won nine AFC titles, the most of any team in the conference (and of any team in either conference since the merger), and are its current title holder.

This chart of the [[2015 NFL season#standings|2015 season standings]] displays an application of the NFL scheduling formula. The [[2015 Denver Broncos season|Broncos in 2015]] (highlighted in green) finished in first place in the [[AFC West]]. Thus, [[2016 Denver Broncos season|in 2016]], the Broncos will play two games against each of its division rivals (highlighted in light blue), one game against each team in the [[AFC South]] and [[NFC South]] (highlighted in yellow), and one game each against the first-place finishers in the [[AFC East]] and [[AFC North]] (highlighted in orange).</div>

Currently, the thirteen opponents each team faces over the 16-game regular season schedule are set using a pre-determined formula:<ref>{{cite web|title=2012 Opponents Determined|url=http://nfllabor.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/2012-opponents-determined.pdf|publisher=[[National Football League|NFL]]|accessdate=January 23, 2012|date=January 2, 2012}}</ref>
 +
 
 +
Each AFC team plays the other teams in their respective division twice (home and away) during the regular season, in addition to 10 other games assigned to their schedule by the NFL. Two of these games are assigned on the basis of a particular team's final divisional standing from the previous season. The remaining 8 games are split between the roster of two other NFL divisions. This assignment shifts each year and will follow a standard cycle. Using the 2012 regular season schedule as an example, each team in the AFC West plays against every team in the AFC North and NFC South. In this way, non-divisional competition will be mostly among common opponents – the exception being the two games assigned based on the team's prior-season divisional standing.
 +
 
 +
At the end of each season, the top six teams in the conference proceeds into the [[National Football League playoffs|playoff]]. These teams consist of the four division winners and the top two [[Wild card (sports)|wild card]] teams. The AFC playoffs culminate in the [[AFC Championship Game]] with the winner receiving the [[Lamar Hunt]] Trophy. The AFC Champion then plays the [[National Football Conference|NFC]] Champion in the [[Super Bowl]].

[[File:Oldafclogo.JPG|thumb|right|150px|Original American Football Conference logo, based on the AFL logo with blue stars]]
 +
Both the AFC and the NFC were created after the NFL [[AFL–NFL merger|merged]] with the [[American Football League]] (AFL) in 1970.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldalmanacforkids.com/WAKI-ViewArticle.aspx?pin=x-fo055624a&article_id=608&chapter_id=13&chapter_title=Sports&article_title=Pro_Football_History|title=Pro Football – History|accessdate=3 April 2009}}</ref> The AFL began play in 1960 with eight teams, and added two more expansion clubs (the [[Miami Dolphins]] in 1966 and the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] in 1968) before the merger. In order to equalize the number of teams in each conference, three NFL teams that predated the AFL's launch (the [[Cleveland Browns]], [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], and the then-[[Baltimore Colts]]) joined the ten former AFL teams to form the AFC. The two AFL divisions [[AFL East]] and [[AFL West]] were more or less intact, while the Century Division, in which the Browns and the Steelers had played since 1967, was moved from the NFL to become the new AFC Central.
  
 +
Since the merger, five expansion teams have joined the AFC and two have left, thus making the current total 16. When the [[Seattle Seahawks]] and the [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] joined the league in 1976, they were temporarily placed in the NFC and AFC respectively. This arrangement lasted for one season only before the two teams switched conferences. The Seahawks eventually returned to the NFC as a result of the [[2002 NFL season#Expansion and realignment|2002 realignment]]. The expansion [[Jacksonville Jaguars]] joined the AFC in 1995.
 +
 +
Due to the [[Cleveland Browns relocation controversy|relocation controversy]] of the Cleveland Browns, a new AFC franchise called the [[Baltimore Ravens]] was officially established in 1996 while the Browns franchise was reactivated in 1999.
 +
 +
The [[Houston Texans]] were then added to the league in 2002, joining the AFC.
 +
 +
Between 2000 and 2016, the AFC has sent either the [[Baltimore Ravens]] (2 times), the [[Denver Broncos]] (2 times), the [[Indianapolis Colts]] (2 times), the [[Oakland Raiders]] (1 time), the [[New England Patriots]] (7 times), and the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] (3 times) to the [[Super Bowl]]. By contrast, the [[National Football Conference|NFC]] has sent 12 different teams during that same time frame. 14 of the last 17 AFC champions have started one of just three quarterbacks - [[Tom Brady]], [[Peyton Manning]], and [[Ben Roethlisberger]] - in the Super Bowl.

Ava Zinn can "cross-flex" some of these supported contestants before the start of, or during, the season as she see s fit. The first Vote for the Girls pick affected by this "flex" change was on [[wikipedia:The Voice (U.S. season 9)|ninth season of ''The Voice'']] airing on September 21, 2015 when Tracia Ward chose Mark Hood while Ava Zinn and Kymberly Alvaraz chose Jordan Smith as the first FLEX picks instead of either Leonard Lai, Clark Jones, Archibald Coolranch, or Lawrence Hederick; and the first supported contestant affected by this "cross-flexing" change was on [[wikipedia:Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 21)|the twenty-first season of ''Dancing with the Stars'']] week three (airing on September 28, 2015), reality star [[wikipedia:Kim Zolciak|Kim Zolciak-Biermann]] (chosen by Lanise White) was forced to withdraw from the competition (and resulted in White being disqualified) after suffering a blood clot which resulted in a mini stroke (which resulted in no elimination that week and resulting in [[wikipedia:Hayes Grier|Hayes Grier]] and [[wikipedia:Emma Slater|Emma Slater]] being moved from White to Julia Passalt).

The merged league created a new logo for the AFC that took elements of the old AFL logo, specifically the "A" and the six stars surrounding it. The AFC logo basically remained unchanged from 1970 to 2009. The 2010 NFL season introduced an updated AFC logo, with the most notable revision being the removal of two stars (leaving four representing the four divisions of the AFC), and moving the stars inside the letter, similar to the NFC logo.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2010/03/02/but-i-absolutely-refuse-to-write-about-the-draft-caps/ |title=But I Absolutely Refuse to Write About the Draft Caps |author=Paul Lukas |publisher=Uni Watch blog |accessdate=16 April 2010 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100506134900/http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2010/03/02/but-i-absolutely-refuse-to-write-about-the-draft-caps/ |archivedate=6 May 2010 |deadurl=no |df=dmy }}</ref>

Women's Confrence
League Vote for the Girls
Founded 2010
No. of teams 16



The female moderators of Vote for the Girls (Moderators) is one of the two conferences of the American web site Vote for the Girls. The American web site has since its 2010 launch, employed a number of antagonists, commonly known as the Vote for the Girls Moderator Panel, or female moderators, competing against the male moderators or Zinn's villains.


This conference and its counterpart, the Zinn's Villains (Villains), currently contain 16 indivudlals each, making up the 32 individuals of Vote for the Girls. A series of expansions and division realignments have occurred since the launch of Vote for the Girls, thus making the current total 16 clubs per each conference.

Current moderators

Since 2010, the Moderators has 16 teams, organized into two sub-conferences (Pink and Purple) of two divisions each with four moderators: Pink Team East, Pink Team West, Purple Team East and Purple Team West

During the tenth season of American Idol, notable pick Pia Toscano was considered a frontrunner in the competition, and her ninth place finish shocked judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler, all of whom were visibly and vocally upset.[1][2] Some viewers and media outlets described Toscano's departure as one of the most shocking eliminations in American Idol history.[3][4] Toscano's elimination saw Lauren Alaina and Haley Reinhart as the only remaining females left in the competition [5][6][7] and eventually led the web site bounce back from Toscano's elimination seeing the next five eliminated contestants were all males, leading to the first Top 3 with two females since the sixth season, the largest comeback ever in the site's history setting up for a possible since the third season to have a finale consisting of two women and guaranteeing a Double VFTG Victory. During this time, Lauren Alaina broke the record for Vote for the Girls' longest-running American Idol pick ever, a feat never before achieved until Alaina's record of 12 weeks (from the top 24 to the finale) would be tied three years later by with Jessica Meuse (from the top 30 to the top four) and later surpassed by eventual season 13 runner-up Jena Asciutto as Asciutto lated for a record 14 weeks: from the top 30 to the finale. Alaina's finished runner-up was eliminated in the finale—the same week as Crystal Bowersox in season 9 and Jessica Sanchez in the following year. [8] Ironically, three months later that year on the eighth season of So You Think You Can Dance the site finally gained its first double VFTG Victory upon the third place finish of Marko Germar with Melanie Moore defeating Sasha Mallory to what was then the largest comeback (that would later be surpassed two years later upon the elimination of Lazaro Arbos on Idol ) in the web site's history.

Season eleven of American Idol saw the site gain major momentum as Ava Zinn announced on April 18, 2011 she was herself auditioning as a contestant (it is interesting to note that this was Zinn's only chance due to Zinn being 28 years of age and is currently the only Vote for the Girls moderator to ever achieve that feat). Zinn auditioned as a contestant on Idol, and eventually went undercover as a journalist reportedly exposing season ten's gender voting bias and eventually would end the trend that Idol pundits call the "white guy with guitar" or "WGWG" factor. During American Idol 11, Zinn picked Hallie Day and Erika Van Pelt in the semi-finals because they also auditioned at the same Pittsburgh audition venues as Zinn and Elise Testone as the wild card. In what would become Robyn Hurd's final VFTG season (before her death on May 24, 2012), she and Holly Everman picked Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine in the finale of American Idol with Jessica Sanchez as the wild card, eventually chosen by Ava Zinn after she had a "huge voting mistake" in not including Sanchez as her own pick. The site supported Sanchez during the time that Ava Zinn favorite Erika Van Pelt was eliminated,[9] as well as Skylar Laine when more popular Hollie Cavanagh was eliminated.[10]

Vote for the Girls has expanded its site to include other shows. The site helped support the six eventual female winners (including the moderators' save of Valerie Rockey on So You Think You Can Dance 11) and three "double victories" of Melanie Moore and Sasha Mallory's run during So You Think You Can Dance 8, Eliana Girard and Tiffany Maher on So You Think You Can Dance 9, and Gaby Diaz and Jaja Vaňková on So You Think You Can Dance 12[11] and a seven season victory streak (with the exception of the moderators' saves used on Christina Grimmie and DaNica Shirey) on The Voice.

Vote for the Gils' mixed bag extends to other shows. The site has had some success with Emily West during America's Got Talent, Melanie Amaro and Alex & Sierra on X Factor, but was unable to help others such as Carly Rose Sonenclar during the second season of The X Factor, Bridget Carrington during Duets and Audrey Kate Geiger and Dana Williams on Rising Star


Not all of the shows mentioned on Vote for the Girls are in a bad way.

Since September 25, 2014, VFTG officially began including Dancing with the Stars as a built-in make-up competition; this differs with American Idol, X Factor and The Voice, of which the male moderators until 2016 were not allowed to participate while the purple team moderators typically choose female celebrities and the pink team chooses the male celebrities. Typically the winning moderator of American Idol and/or The Voice does not participate (yet is an impartial moderator). Zinn has stated "there are no Vote for the Worst picks on DWTS all the moderators' picks are good." The only way a "loss" can happen on DWTS is if none of the moderators have the DWTS champion. Starting in the eighth season of VFTG, only two male moderators (one transman and one man) can participate in DWTS with a moderator's challenge and likewise with two female moderators (one transwoman and one woman) with AGT.


Since Della Terza's version of Vote for the Worst ended and the Ava Zinn version (of which was absorbed into VFTG and currently the male moderator panel), Vote for the Worst picks have only been male contestants, of which are never revealed until the end of the competition or until all male contestants are eliminated. Zinn's version banned gay males (as M2F picks), lesbian females (as F2M picks), and most notably transgender females. With the DWTS addition, Vote for the Girls introduced the "Flex pick" allowing male contestants to be supported on the site. During the opening rounds, in addition to the as the standard (female) Vote for the Girls picks, in which each woman on the pink team and transwoman on the purple team could use only as much as four per season, or depending on the particular moderator's progress. Making that male Vote for the Girls FLEX pick based on his vocals and appearance would automatically disqualify the opposing pink and/or purple team members from making that pick and must be declared her Vote for the Worst pick on the opposing pink or purple team, regardless of the other moderators' opinions. Additionally the male moderator panel loses that particular contestant. Two occurrences of the male moderator panel having no picks left have occurred twice&dash;upon the elimination of Braiden Sunshine on The Voice 9 in 2015 and upon Manny Torres being flexed on American Idol: The Final Season in 2016.

Also the web site is be able to "cross-flex" supported female contestants between the pink/purple female team and the red/blue men's team, enabling the females (for the first time since The X Factor 3 in the 2013-14 season) and transfemales (for the first time ever) to support male contestants (for the first time since the 2013-14 season) as Vote for the Girls picks, and the males (for the first time since 2009-2010 season) and transmales (for the first time ever) to support female contestants as Vote for the Worst picks.

Ava Zinn can "cross-flex" some of these supported contestants before the start of, or during, the season as she see s fit. The first Vote for the Girls pick affected by this "flex" change was on ninth season of The Voice airing on September 21, 2015 when Tracia Ward chose Mark Hood while Ava Zinn and Kymberly Alvaraz chose Jordan Smith as the first FLEX picks instead of either Leonard Lai, Clark Jones, Archibald Coolranch, or Lawrence Hederick; and the first supported contestant affected by this "cross-flexing" change was on the twenty-first season of Dancing with the Stars week three (airing on September 28, 2015), reality star Kim Zolciak-Biermann (chosen by Lanise White) was forced to withdraw from the competition (and resulted in White being disqualified) after suffering a blood clot which resulted in a mini stroke (which resulted in no elimination that week and resulting in Hayes Grier and Emma Slater being moved from White to Julia Passalt). Tamar Braxton also withdrew from the season due to blood clots in her lungs making it the first season to have two withdrawals on DWTS and resulting in Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess being moved from Passalt to Ava Zinn and Kymberly Alvaraz, and automatically becoming the winning moderator by default and because Bindi Irwin won the competition overall and Carter finishing runner-up also marked the first "Double VFTG Victory" on DWTS.
