10 For Project 10
Each month, I will provide analysis based on the results of each month's ballot. I will list the top ten trends that stood out or fascinated me. I encourage any viewers to comment on anything that fascinates them.

April 2017

 * 1)  I couldn't disagree more  - Holy hell, I can't tell if some of these ballots were jokes or this was actually what you guys voted for! Wow, I am disgusted! I can't wait to see what others say (particularly from people who did not participate last month!)
 * 2)  People like Zoey  - I don't want to live in a world where people like Zoey.
 * 3)  So many polarizing characters  - Due to the cast size being thirteen and ten spots for Best and Worst Character, there were a lot of close calls for the most controversial character in the season. In fact, Cameron, Lightning, Mike, Scott and Zoey all received over one hundred points for Best Character and Worst Character.
 * 4)  Jo was the best character this generation in terms of conflict  - Not a surprise, but she took approximately half the votes for the Best Conflict this season, with her feud with Brick voted the Best Conflict this season.
 * 5)  Once again, people were satisfied with the villain's downfall  - Scott easily took away the hardware for Best Elimination this season and two other one-note or characters that displayed villainous behavior (Jo and Staci) rounding out the top three.
 * 6)  People really like Brick and Dawn  - Not only are they the best characters, but Brick and Dawn had the saddest eliminations. The only other character to surpass one hundred points was... Mike?
 * 7)  Teams were at their closest  - The teams were at their closest out of all the seasons, but that is likely due to all the team switches and how unmemorable those episodes were. The teams did not collaborate as teams this season and with the thirteen episode season, there was less focus on these team interactions and more on individual characters, such as Mike, Zoey and Cameron.
 * 8)  Neck and neck once again  - Best episode! Five episodes (including a first place tie), separated by roughly twenty-five points. Up until the final day, we had two episodes tied to the point that I was ready to use our third tiebreaker. Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon broke through at the end to win the category.
 * 9)  My hot take  - You want a hot take? Here's a hot take: the characters ranked six-ten in the Best Character category were better than their counterparts that finished in the top five. Lightning, Dakota and Anne Maria were joined by Scott and Cameron. I'll take those five over the Mike and Zoey-led group that also featured Brick, Dawn and Jo.
 * 10)  People thought this season was average  - That's fair and all, but the fact that this season still got over a 3 is alarming. The question: is will people be quick to judge All-Stars and give it a 1, or will we receive an average in the 2s?
