I voted no, because it does distinguish the FOTD's and DTB's a bit more than just having a theme, it also makes people try harder! In addition, I am in NO WAY trying to be critical of ANYONE who voted yes, so please, please PLEASE don't take this the wrong way, but I don't have any other good way to say this, but the way the poll is going now, there are far more people who think it should stay than think it should go away, which is not to say one side is *more* right than another, just that apparently, some of those who have been critical of the voting, and other things, seem to just be critical for the sake of it, because it doesn't seem like they have comeon here to vote for what they feel strongly about, which means, getting rid of voting probably wouldn't do what it would be intended for, which is to make *those* people happy. I doubt some of them even know this poll exists. No offense to any of you who did vote yes! I know you do care about what happens here!

This won't always works, though, because the when winner of the previous DTB picks out the theme for another DTB, it's not always the very next DTB. So that won't solve the problem of back to back winners if that's what we are trying to prevent.

I have been a scapegoat for lack of participation, now it's voting that is the blame....seriously this is lame. I TOTALLY agree. Even if Manders and voting spontaneously COMBUSTED, there would STILL be something wrong with DTB's lol j/k

I agree with Sheikah, even though I didn't win, it felt good that I got a few votes. It was like "Hey, those compliments you got, weren't empty, I decided to use my only vote on YOU"
Feels nice

So maybe a revision in the rules is what needs to be looked at. Maybe you can revise it so that a person cannot win back-to-back. For ex. if they win this week, they win. But if next week they win again, instead of winning the challenge, the person with the next highest votes would win instead to prevent a back to back win. I don't know if that makes sense or helps.
Pinkbundles, it makes perfect sense
Actually, it makes no difference to me if we have back to back winners or not, but we are to have a rule about it, this is the simplest way to do it. If the person who won the previous week also has the highest number of votes the next week, then just pick the runner up for winner and the next highest voted entry after them for runner up. That way no one has to sit out any DTB's (what a shame to have to sit out your own them-picked DTB you are all excited for if you waited so long to do it! Even if you get to do an inspiration pic, I bet it's not the same!), and the previous winner still has the chance to be part of the healthy competition, who knows, they could end up being the runner-up the second time around!
