As Caprice’s 4th Birthday Special Episode of Caprice & Ella drew to a close, Ava Zinn, the host of Vote for the Girls, welcomes viewers back to the controversial YouTube program.
The live shows for American Idol Season 22 begin with 13 female and 11 male contestants. Vote for the Girls is a battle of the sexes, with female moderators on the pink and purple teams and male villains on the blue and red teams.

The goal is to get the female contestants to get more votes than the male contestants to win American Idol Season 22 as it has been almost 4 years since Samantha Diaz won.

The last time Vote for the Girls was on the air Grace Kinstler finished in third place on American Idol Season 19, three years ago. Ava expresses that it’s nice to be back and mentions that they returned due to popular demand and a Change.org petition. Ava acknowledges the viewers who watch competition shows like The Voice, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, and So You Think You Can Dance. She mentions being inundated with social media posts, emails, telephone calls, and letters.

Ava Zinn acknowledges that the show’s return was due to a Change.org petition signed by hundreds of people who were upset and angry about its absence. She emphasizes that broadcasters and content creators do listen to their audience and thanks them for their support. Ava asks the audience to help spread the word about the show’s return since they lost some viewers during their hiatus. She encourages viewers to use their mobile devices, computers, or the American Idol app to share the news with friends, colleagues, and neighbors on social media.

Ava Zinn emphasizes that viewers should vote for the female contestants they’re supporting on shows like American Idol, The Voice, Dancing with the Stars, and So You Think You Can Dance. She reminds everyone that the objective of “Vote for the Girls” is to eliminate all the male contestants at the earliest opportunity. Ava also cautions against giving her any criticism or using sexist remarks, stating that it won’t get them anywhere.

Ava Zinn comments on the performances, saying they were really good.
She mentions that the host of American Idol, Ryan Seacrest, will be taking over hosting duties for Pat Sajak next season on Wheel of Fortune. Ava introduces Karly Jameson, who thanks Ava for bringing back “Vote for the Girls”. Ava thanks Karly for starting the Change.org petition that led to the show’s return. She also introduces Donna Doogan and Andi Coolranch, who thank Ava for bringing back the show. Ava shares that she had the idea to start “Vote for the Girls” after a late April Fools 2009 prank (it was Scott Jones and Gene Cox co-anchoring on WXIN-TV’s morning newscast as Angela Ganote had the day off) on INNewsCenter (now Hoosier TV Museum).

Ava Zinn mentions that this is a performance show night and something new is happening on “Vote for the Girls” that she doesn’t think has ever been done before. She shares her memories of “Vote for the Girls”, mentioning a moment from American Idol 10 and referencing Brandi Chastain’s 1999 Women’s FIFA World Cup Championship moment. Ava also mentions that Jessica Sanchez was saved from elimination during her season of American Idol and finished in second place to Philip Phillips.

Ava shares a preview of the next episode of “Caprice & Ella”, even though it’s on the “Vote for the Girls” channel, revealed to be “One Pretty Damn Exhausted Transwoman…” scheduled to air on April 11, 2024.

Ava Zinn mentions a contestant named Abi Carter and another named Julia Gargon and Mckenna Brineholt. Ryan Seacrest announces that the top 20 will perform on the next Sunday from 8 to 11, and the top 14 will be revealed on the next Monday.
Ava shares that the live shows will begin in two weeks and the American Idol 22 finale will be on May 19th.

Ava announces that the second part of American Idol 22 and the start of The Voice 25 Knockouts will be aired the next night.
She encourages the audience to get vaccinated and shares a positive message: “May Fort Wayne’s good news be yours.”
Ava asks the audience to tell their friends that “Vote for the Girls” is back and to subscribe to the YouTube channel.
She thanks the audience for watching and wishes them a good night, promising to see them next time. She ends the show with “Take care.”

But wait–Ava gets notified about a third party content violation and the live stream was taken down by YouTube. Luckily, Ava had the stream recorded from Zoom.
