Original fan favourites, no team games. Someone from Mediatonic even said at the time, they were not surprised none made it in. Second time around, the voting system is changed for no reason, and oh look a team game makes it in.
Certain rounds couldn't make it under the original system, so the voting system was changed to let them, now it's being changed again for no reason.
Truth is the truth.
Unfortunately that just isn't true, it's me who lets the team know which rounds are top voted and should make it in. I have 0 reason whatsoever to chuck in Fall Ball if people didn't vote it in. You're right, I was really surprised that Fall Ball made it in consistently after the first vote.
The reason I made some changes after the first vote was just because I didn't think that there were enough rounds in the show, but there was no hidden agenda to sneak Fall Ball or any other team games in. In the second iteration of the vote, I'd decided to include the top 3 rounds in some categories to make for a wider variety in the show. Fall Ball was the 3rd highest voted round in it's category in that vote, and then in the 3rd version of the vote it was, believe it or not, the 2nd highest voted in it's category after Hoverboard Heroes, ranking even higher than Jump Club.
Then as to the reason why we want to know how people rank ALL of the rounds, it's not to put the least favourite ones in the Fan Favourites show. Again, I'm not sure what the motivation for that would be? The show is designed to be the community's most loved rounds. The survey is more extensive this time simply because it's really valuable data for us to have. Not saying we're planning on changing Main Show or weightings or anything, but if we did want to do that in future this info is super valuable. It was from the Fan Favourites votes that we decided to remove Hoarders and Egg Scramble from Main Show, as the vote showed us that people weren't voting for those rounds and liked them the least (as well as combining this data with general feedback we've always received).
