    Well not really because if a forum member doesn't have a choice amongst those now available in the categories they either have to choose another candidate who doesn't reflect their feelings or abstain from voting. Fair enough for an 'awards' ceremony, but you can't claim it reflects the opinions of the forum as a whole. :)

    The rules were very clear right from the word go, if you don't like it no one is forcing you to vote. I think your being quite rude actually. If you had a better idea why didn't you do it yourself?

    I was answering a point on a claim for the representative nature of it, not triying to be antagonistic.

    with all due respect this isn't a thread for debate is it? Show some respect to the OP, who has gone out of her way to put this together. To answer your question though, most of us nominated at least one person who hasn't made the short list I would think, however rather than making a fuss about it we have switched to the nominee that most reflects our views. If your unable to do the same, then don't vote, but please stop disrupting the thread and either vote or leave it be.....

    For goodness sake peeps...you had a chance to nominate people in the other thread. She clearly didn't get enough votes to make the short list...there is nothing unfair or under hand about it at all.

    eta: and wouldn't you know it, it appears that neither of the people complaining here bothered to vote in the nominations round, therefore it's your own fault...;)

    I didn't see the earlier thread. I wouldn't have expected the need for shortening a list when there's only 16 people, I must admit, but I certainly intended no disrespect to the OP. My question was genuine and not a complaint. Now that you've made me aware of this, I will, of course, bow out as I'm not now able to register my own opinion.

    You have a week to vote- good luck! :D
    So many categories don't include my preference I'm faced with non participation or an invalid voting slip.:mad: So opinionated sod that I am I'll join in anyway - and let the OP deem my ballot paper null and void.

    Favourite Candidate:Any 1 from 3. Alex (I'm a pushover for a pretty face). Raef (I'm a pushover for a pretty face - and money doesn't buy class - it's breeding) Simon (I'm a pushover for a pretty face and when allied to decency it's a very seductive combination).:o
    Least Favourite Candidate: Nicholas - snobbish, simpering, smarmy little git. I'm sure being sired by a father who adds de Lacey to the pedestrian Brown as a surname was a difficult burden to overcome - but others have surmounted worse.:rolleyes:
    Favourite Task: Cars, Weddings. The lovely Alex excelled.;)
    Most Suited Candidate: Alex - he's only 24 - he can be moulded.:)
    Favourite Aide to Sir Alan: erm Margaret or Nick;)
    Best Candidate Personality: Lee - nothing wrong with an extrovert who claws his way up (you go guy).:)
    Worst Candidate Personality: Nicholas - see above. Michael - only because of extreme restraint on my behalf is my tv still in working order. (Helene and Jenny C redeemed themselves on YF - imo).
    Most Over-Rated Candidate: That good Jewish boy - Michael.:rolleyes:
    Most Under-Rated Candidate: Alex - the pretty boy can sell.;)
    Most Shocking Decision: Raef's firing over Michael, Shazia's firing over Jenny C, Simon's firing over Claire. All of these.
    Best 'You're Fired' Moment:Adrian's frank opinion of Michael, Michael McIntyre, Raef's appearance, Support for Shazia,

    So now to add one or two of my own.

    Best PM - Lucinda.
    Worst team member - Lucinda.
    Most memorable candidate for the right reasons - Raef.
    Most memorable candidate for the wrong reasons - where do I start?
    Kevin - who, whatever the task, whatever the outcome, unintentionally became a caricature by claiming credit for every good idea proposed.
    Michael - whose recommendations frequently lost the task - but somehow managed to turn the tables on more able candidates; who demeaned himself with his constant begging: SAS by keeping him in so long, you revealed a flaw in your judgement (of course I wouldn't mind your flawed judgement - if my net worth reflected your own).
    Lindi Mngaza - oh gawd.
    Worst guest on YF - Victoria Wood - used the programme as a vehicle for her own wit - which on this occasion failed.
