Happy Belated Birthday Pat!
As discussed in yesterday’s Year In Review video, Pat was a bit of an ‘old cranky guy’ when it came to reviewing the two sets of polls about 2018 Main Events and 2018 Mini Events.
He had a valid point that by just asking the favourite and least favourite events, we miss out on a full picture of what the true rankings would be.
So for his birthday (even though he put 2018 on my shirt in the banner), let’s breakdown the polls a bit more.
MAIN EVENTS
Treehouse of Horrors was voted as the ‘most favourite’ main event of 2018 in the Year In Review poll. Bart Royale was voted as the ‘least favourite’ main event of 2018 in the Year In Review poll. However, let’s see what happens when we apply a weighted scale to the votes.
As you can see, the Main Events can be ranked as follows:
- Treehouse of Horrors
- Itchy and Scratchy Land
- Moe’s Ark
- Simpsons Christmas Special
- Springfield Jobs
- Bart Royale
The ‘most favourite’ main event (Treehouse of Horrors) and ‘least favourite’ main event (Bart Royale) did finish 1st and 6th respectively, as they were also the least ‘least favourite’ and least ‘most favourite’ main events respectively. However, some surprises happened in the middle, where the second ‘least favourite’ main event (Itchy and Scratchy) finished 2nd on the strength of the fact that it was also the second ‘most favourite’ main event of voters.
MINI EVENTS
Who Shot Mr. Burns was voted as the ‘most favourite’ mini event of 2018 in the Year In Review poll. Super Powers was voted as the ‘least favourite’ mini event of 2018 in the Year In Review poll. However, let’s see what happens when we apply a weighted scale to the votes.
As you can see, the Mini Events can be ranked as follows:
- Who Shot Mr. Burns
- Thanksgiving
- Homer vs the 18th Amendment
- Poochie’s Dog Dayz
- Super Powers
- Buck Stops Here
The ‘most favourite’ min event (Who Shot Mr. Burns) did finish 1st. However, ‘least favourite’ mini event (Super Powers) did not finish 6th, as a lot more people chose Super Powers as their ‘most favourite’ over Buck Stops Here.
