AMC: Rate the Characters 2007 Edition

[SteveFrame]

Update for today.

So far the same person who was leading yesterday is still there. He/she remains the only character to not make it in any body's bottom 10 so far.

There are still 3 characters that have not made it in the Top 10 either. Strangley none of them are the least favorite character.

Today things changed for some. Since more votes are in and things are really changing I will up the stats reporting to higher numbers.

Most finishes in the Top 10 now are: Adam, Bianca, Erica, Jackson, Janet, Kendall, Myrtle, Opal, Palmer, & Tad with JR, Stuart, Zack, & Zarf/Zoe not far behind now

Named as favorite character at least Twice: Adam, Babe, JR, Jackson, Janet, Kendall & Tad

Most Finishes in the Bottom 10 are: Annie, Del, Derek, Jeff, Jonathan, Joshua, Krystle, and Ryan with honorable mention to Babe, Colby, JR, Joe, Livia, Marian, Sean, and Zarf/Zoe

Named as Least Favorite at least Twice are: Babe, JR, Josh, Ryan, & Zarf/Zoe

I will say that none of those on that last list on the bottom right now though.

After the controversial Del scene during the Satin Slayer storyline -- "Whiskey -- or Cosmpolitan" (DIE, jerk, DIE!!!) Del SO deserves to be on the bottom. I'm glad everyone else thinks so too.

I think Bianca was in my top 5 last time, so it really hurt to drop her down to my #15 or #16, but I just can't stand her spewing the same old "Babe is Love" crap that everyone else does, and I also can't stand her with Zoe AS A ROMANTIC PARTNER. I don't mind Zoe, and it's great for them to be friends, but I just can't get with Bianca having romantic feelings for Zoe.

I put Babe, Josh, and Jonathan as my bottom 3.

[Juliajms]

I can't wait to see the results.

[SteveFrame]

Just a little teaser before tomorrows results are revealed.

Votes haven't come in again until yesterday so no need for updates until now. The same leader is still leading. He/she still remains the only character to not be put in anyone's bottom 10. There are still the same 3 characters that have never been put in anyone's top 10 too.

[Pine Charles]

I like these results! I love Adam at #2 and Janet at #4.

Thanks for doing this!

[Pine Charles]

Another thought......

I'm surprised Di got as high as #13; I expected her to be lower. On the other side of the coin, I expected Julia to be higher.

[SteveFrame]

Julia had several haters and she did get the one pick for Worst Character where Di didn't.

Di got a lot of love this time around. She had 6 picks in the top 10, and only 2 in the bottom 10.

Julia got 2 picks in the Top 10, 4 picks in the bottom 10 and that one pick as Worst Character.

I was surprised myself to see Dr. Joe get 7 picks in the bottom 10 and some of them were pretty low. I was actually surprised as low as he was picked at times that he actually did as well as he did.

I forgot to add that I was so shocked when Opal led the results for quite some time, and then some voters came along and put her in the bottom and one put at the very bottom. She never got back up higher than she finished.

[alwaysAMC]

Thanks for doing these Steve! Interesting results...

I'm surprised there are major Julia haters out there. I'd love to hear why they don't really like her.

I'm happy to see Di and Amanda place higher than normal - wish we could see them more often on-screen.

Joe Martin being so low surprises me. JR getting much lower than last time isn't surprising though - they've ruined his character so much.

I wish Marian was higher too...I have a feeling lots of voters prob. don't really know her that much. I really think they'd love the old Marian we all used to know. She's a riot.

[SteveFrame]

I think one of the differences that some of them did better than they did last time is that I changed the voting procedures some.

I didn't expect some of the things I got last time. AMC was the 3rd one that I participated in last time. ATWT had one or two minor problems, but nothing major that made me change the rules.

Then I did the AMC one last time. Some people changed their votes several times which I could understand some of the problems so I did it each time.

But the things that surprised me the most was getting ballots where 2 characters were picked as #1 ties and then last time we had 37 characters - there were 22 characters tied for #30 and the rest were scattered out between numbers 31-37.

Some were not that drastic but had similar problems where they would have as many as 10 tied for low numbers.

I didn't say anything then but I felt somewhat uncomfortable with the numbers last time. I feel better about these. Many of the ones who voted last time didn't vote this time. I don't know if that prevented them from voting this time or not.

You will see just about everyone's numbers actually improved some except for a few. The top 10 basically stayed the same except for #5 Brooke is gone from the show, and both Janet & Bianca weren't included last time. They jumped in and pushed Palmer out of the top 10 and as you said JR lost a lot of ground. And Jackson jumped way up.

So I think these results are more accurate and definitely recent stuff like that with JR have influenced some but JR still did pretty good with some. He was put in the top 10 quite a bit as well as the bottom 10.

I was surprised by Tad who after he took over the lead this time staying there. He got as far as 4 points away from his nearest competion at one point.

I'm pleased to say that I picked Julia Santos as worst character. I actually liked Julia the first time around until they put her with Noah. Since then, she's nothing but dull & dreary to me.

It's more what she's lacking now that she used to have. Julia used to be spunky, sort of bratty in some aspects- she had a sharp tongue and an answer for everything. She's so watered down now, it's isn't even funny. She pales in comparison to the Julia of the 90s IMO.
