It’s a few days into 2020 but I figured I’ll let this poll run for a week so everyone can get their votes in! Here are the top 3 from each of the semifinal polls.
Oh man! All 3 of my faves are on the list! What to do...what to do....

Please remind us what “PSOTY” stands for? What’s the criteria? The six nominees listed are quite different.
Basically it’s an award for the sexiest female skater
PSOTY is short for Porny Skater of the Year. (I didn’t come up with it - this forum has been running these polls for years under that name!)
Well, if the accordion fits - play it! https://imgur.com/a/i3RBYg6I’d not want to think of any of these six ladies (or any young men) being ogled as “porny anything.”
Ah, thanks. I know that none of us on this forum means ill but...in light of #metoo and recent scandals on nude pics, harassment, etc., just ogling and talking about our favorite skaters as “porny” or the like may not be in the best taste. I’d not want to think of any of these six ladies (or any young men) being ogled as “porny anything.”
I completely understand. In fact, I personally suggested changing the name of the poll to “Sexy/Hot Skater of the Year”, but many people on the forum didn’t want to change it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a little beauty contest here, but I’ve never been a fan of the name because it sounds somewhat objectifying.
Btw, since we never elected a female PSOTY in 2018, should we give the 2018 title to this year’s runner-up, Tuktamysheva? Many people nominated her, and I think this is a convincing campaign: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yt0I0_-HtEE
I second this nomination.
To me LaTuk should win this and not get it somehow as a pity-prize as she did not win this season.
Whilst I agree she might have won last season, I don't approve just handing her the title out.
(And no, I don't suggest a 2018 poll)
You asked a question. I answered.Bossman, you stick to managing #TTW and leave the dealing with sexy women to me

Maybe, but just because there aren't many of us attracted to ladies around here doesn't mean we aren't allowed something once in a while!The award seem significantly less prestigious for women in comparison to Gay Icon of the Year.

Tbh, I’ve always been a bit puzzled by the qualifications for gay icon of the year. It usually ends up just being some hot diva woman, which imo is just PSOTY under a different name.
No. The Gay Icon of The Year is best when she is the Rhoda.
PSOTY is totally a Mary title.
