PCAs still sucks and its one of the worst awards shows I’ve ever seen because when “the people” vote on what their favorites would be, the people are still a bunch of sore losers and several of its categories that won already got it wrong. What is with you guys and why did everybody voted for the “wrong winners”?
The people’s choice awards is rigged. The so-called “people” is management pretending to care about what the people think when they really make the final decisions. Some of the “winners” is obviously rigged — Ellen winning 13 times in a row, People’s Voice and Humanitarian award that was never listed as an option for the website — and it shows.
