Bennies 2013 - Vote for TV's worst

NBC will never forget you...try as they might
[NOMINATIONS ARE OVER. STAY TUNED FOR THE RESULTS.]

It's that time of year again, your chance to vote on the Worst in TV for the fourth annual Bennie Awards.  For those unfamiliar, think of The Bennies as the Razzies for the small screen.

From July 19 - August 30, the viewing public will vote for the winners of this most prestigious award.  The Temp Diaries staff has selected the nominees in eight different categories:
  • Worst Actress
  • Worst Actor
  • Worst Reality Personality (Female)
  • Worst Reality Personality (Male)
  • Pushing Daisies Award (honoring the best show canceled too soon)
  • DOA 2013 (new show least deserving of a network pick-up)
  • Worst Reality Program
  • Worst Scripted Program
All you need to do is select your choice from the ballot below and hit "Submit." The Bennies uses American Idol-style voting, so stuffing the ballot box is completely legal. On September 19 (just days before the September 22 Emmy Awards) I will announce the winners of the Golden Trash Can in a gala online event.

The Bennies pay homage to the King of Bad Programming -- former NBC head Ben Silverman. It's also no small coincidence that "Bennies" is slang for Benzedrine (a drug I believe these Hollywood execs were on when they greenlit these shows).

Here's the form.  Now go ahead and vote.  It's your duty...and I'll guilt trip you if you don't.

you are missing some gems. the toughest cate was actresses. ive hated kristen kruek for years but katherine mcphee was so awful. she makes me think i can be a star. i think they wanted a nonactor to really drive home the point of "this business is based on who loves you". also Red Widow is gone too soon.
