I never really had much of a connection with Olaf until New Horizons. When it came time for me to get my first campsite villager I was so nervous that I was going to get someone like Curlos or Lucha... 😰 While Olaf wasn’t the Raymond/Marshal/Julian (Kyle is my new Smug villager obsession) that I wanted, he was certainly better than some of the other Smug villagers out there. Originally, I had planned to kick out Olaf immediately, but he really started to grow on me. I started to really appreciate his personality and he gradually moved down from the top of my “Kick Out” list. One of my favorite moments with Olaf was when I got to celebrate his birthday. It was so nice to basically see my hard work in trying to improve our relationship pay off. Unfortunately, Olaf is no longer in my town anymore, but I firmly believe that Raymond learned all of his tricks from Papa Olaf. In terms of this competition, I did not expect Olaf to place very high, but I certainly didn’t expect to see him in 24th. It’s ok though, Olaf will always be a star to me! 🌟

@Florence + The Machine - Honestly he looks like the kind of guy who harasses women. I don't really like the anteaters much either, so he's last.

@Asarena - I first encountered Olaf when he arrived on my island as my first campsite villager. My first impression wasn't the best. He wasn't any of the villagers I'd been hoping for, and I was even less pleased when I found out that you had to let your first campsite villager move in. My opinion of him changed pretty quickly though. Somehow he found his way to the top of my list, and now he and Punchy are the the only islanders on my island who I can't see myself allowing to leave. I wasn't very familiar with the anteater villagers before, but I love the way their snouts wiggle when they talk. It's so cute to me. Olaf's eyebrows and eyelashes are very distinctive and work well with his smug personality. Also, I usually say that I don't like villagers with solid colored eyes, but I feel like being paired with said eyebrows and eyelashes stops them from being too plain, blank, or creepy. I love his wavy hair as well.

@misstayleigh - I like approximately one (1) anteater in this game and that’s Antonio. Olaf, on the other hand, lacks Antonio’s cuteness. I think his character design is pretty cool, though, but his hair freaks me out. I understand his appeal to others, but he just isn’t for me.

@Verecund - That hair. That hair. I just can't. It looks so weird on him, and I don't really like the smug dialogue in general, so for me to like a smug villager requires a level of cuteness that Olaf isn't even close to having. I'm not really a fan of his eyebrows, either. Not much else to say about him, except I just really wouldn't want him to move in.

@Emmsey - I don’t do anteaters I don’t like them and I certainly don’t like one that resembles a bullfighter. Whilst I don’t deny he has a unique look he also has an angry face or more specifically eye! Once again his humanesque hair doesn’t do it for me. Sorry Olaf I’m sure you’re somebody’s favourite just not mine.

@Pintuition - I could go either way on the anteaters- they’re just not my favorite. I’m not sure the hair or being orange does Olaf many favors. He has too many colors going on, orange, blue, yellow, black, etc. None of it looks good together. The hair and eyebrows are the main reason I cut him, he kind of looks mean. That said, his outfit is amazing, as is house exterior.

Although he is the bottom of this list, 24th out of 391 is actually a pretty good ranking! I’m glad the villagers who made it to then end were a mix of popular and underrated.

i am looking forward to, but also have a bad feeling about the winners...maybe I should have been more cut throat or strategized more. I would also have liked to see Olaf a bit higher on the list. 😋

We’ll see who it comes down to (me acting like I don’t already know... 🤣)

I would like to get #23 in sometime this week, but we’ll see how nice school is... 👨‍🏫 It will definitely be up by the weekend though! 😊👍
 
#23 is coming tomorrow! This will give everyone a chance to respond to #24, if they haven’t already! 😁
 
Excited! Honestly have no idea who it's going to be though. I knew Olaf was not the most popular one on this list, but him getting the very last spot is still pretty surprising.

Yeah, I didn’t expect to see him this low.

Tabby was one of my starting villagers in Animal Crossing City Folk, my first Animal Crossing game, so she holds a special place in my heart. Her face isn’t the most appealing, but I think she has a pretty cute overall design. When I first saw Tabby, I instantly thought of Halloween, which I guess is understandable since she is orange and used to wear a skeleton shirt. If you like Halloween, I guess this is the villager for you! 😅 I thought Tabby would place 24th, considering only one ranker has really been supporting her throughout this rankdown, but hey, Tabby lucked out, and I’m not mad about it!

@Asarena - I love cats, and I like all but three cat villagers. One of them is Stinky and one of them is Monique. Any guesses as to who the third is? Right. It's Tabby. And of the three of them, she's the one I like the least. Some people may find Tabby's ugliness cute, but for me the ugly cute cat is Katt. Some people find Katt ugly as well, but to me she has a really unique and charming look. Tabby's unique too, but she's unique in the way you call something unique when you don't want to be rude and call it ugly. Those purple eyelids... that pig nose... her default toothy grin... "She seems to be modeled after a tiger, as both her Japanese and French names indicate." I'd rather have an actual tiger villager than that abomination. At least her house is nice?

@Verecund - What in the name of Serena is that face? Tabby is one of the first villagers I saw where my immediate reaction was 'oh my gosh, heck no'. Her oddly shaped eyes, her weird snout-nose, and especially that mouth. She just looks like she wants to kill me. Admittedly, I recently came across her in CF and thought that she wasn't as bad as I originally thought (but maybe that's because I was also surrounded by Limberg and Al), although she still freaks me out. I'm sure she's a sweet villager, but she just doesn't appeal to me.

@WaileaNoRei - My opinion on a lot of villagers has changed since back at the end of April, when I started playing ACNH and became forever obsessed. However almost immediately I loved Tabby, and I’ve never looked back. Why do I love Tabby? She’s adorable! She’s so animated, so fun, so unique. To me she fits the peppy personality perfectly and represents the best of it – big dreams and a quirky, fun, big heart. And yeah, I’m not blind, I know her looks are unusual, with her lil piggy nose, and crazy grimace. For me that is part of her charm. If you want your nice safe bland cuteness there is plenty of that to go around. But Tabby is just being herself, living her best life, and dreaming big. I love her to pieces, I love seeing her out and about on my island, and every time I see her I have a happiness reaction I have previously described as my hear exploding and/or my heard throwing up.

@Pintuition - I am SO sorry to all Tabby fans but Tabby is not my favorite at all. She’s been on my wish list to cut since day one. The markings, the nose, eyes, mouth, it all creeps me out. I think the design is just really bad. I’m not sure why they thought a pig nose and jail bar mouth would be cute. I think if they softened some of these features she’d be super cute.

@VexTheHex - This cat's face looks like a child drew it. It's misshapen, not even, different sizes, weird coloring, and pretty much nothing looks good. What is that nose? It's not pretty that's for sure. The eyes being different shapes is just weird. I know it's technically realistic cause humans really aren't 100% proportional ourselves, but she really just looks bad. The blush makes no sense unless she is a child trying on make up which also explains her very clashing purple make up to her orange fur. The constant opened mouth exposing her full teeth is also just weird and ugly. I know she has a cult following, but I don't see anything about her that is pleasing to the eye. "You can never have too much of a good thing" is her motto... which is ironic since she is like a compilation of bad things.
 
i truly don't remember ranking Tabby so highly at #19 but.... i am not surprised she ended up here, although how she got to the top 24 is a feat itself HAHA
 
Some of the ones that made top 24 for me was rather surprising, but I am enjoying the variety. Usually you see the same 15 villagers in the top rankings. It's nice to see some others get showcased!
 
Okay, my hope is restored a bit. After seeing my number 1 pick Olaf get 24 I thought my number 24 pick Tabby might've ended up at 1 somehow, but it seems that was thankfully not the case!

You can credit @WaileaNoRei for that. It's amazing how Tabby has made it this far!

Yes, it is so refreshing to see!!!!!

I think a good rule of thumb is that if a villager receives a #24 placement they are not winning, but who knows...
