ACNH Villager Rankdown (#1 and #2 HAVE BEEN POSTED!)

I really like and respect the other judges so feel free to skip my negative thoughts, which were my first reactions.

Boo. I am not surprised by tabby being ranked not as high. But having her lose to absolute forgettable blahs like fang and over designed themed villagers like merengue and Colton (ugh) is just so disappointing. Predictable, but bummer. At least I no longer feel guilty for cutting Raymond and marshal. Oh and Sherb is still around. I actually forgot he was still in the running, haha, which is pretty representative for how I feel about him (nothing).

The rankings don’t actually effect my feelings in the villagers, though I admit it does make me feel a bit sad to see people dissing my little darling. I will be disappointed if one of my bottom three win, but such is life.

anyway, still enjoying these results. Hoping to see someone I like end up on top, though will still have been a fun experience even if my least favorite wins. But I do reserve the right to be extra salty about it 😉 😬

Sorry to those who read my mean comments. Nothing wrong with liking who you like. 🥰❤
 
I like Tabby and think she’s cute, but I’m also not surprised to see her out this early. The general AC fandom seems to appreciate her more in NH, though, so that’s a win in itself imo.

My pick for #1 is still in the running, so hopefully that villager does well!
 
@WaileaNoRei I get how you feel. I mean my favorite villager ranked a spot below Tabby, so people like him even less than her 💔

Also, I like Fang, Merengue, and Colton a lot so I guess it just shows how everyone has their own preferences

Totally agree! I mean, I dislike those three, but i definitely do like that people like them. that’s what makes this both interesting and fun. When I am not whining about my fave losing, I actually love what a diverse set of opinions @Bk1234 found for the judges. It would have been really really boring to do this with a bunch of people who all agreed with me.

also have to be careful of too strongly hating on any villager, because I just know that then fate will make me eat my words when they end up accidentally becoming a favorite 😓 😋

I like that we all have different favorites (and least favorites too) it's nice we're able to share our opinions without feeling judged or like we have to conform to a set way of thinking. I certainly know my favs may not be popular with some and vice versa. I've come to terms that they won't all likely make it, and that's okay because we had fun along the way!

I really liked the final 24 because there's bound to be deep cuts to everyone's list, I think everyone wound up with several ones we'd like to see win. I think it's a good representation of a wide range of viewpoints in the AC community. I agree, it would be SO boring if we all agreed! 😂 At the end of the day I'm going to be happy to see whatever villager lands #1 even if it's one I'm not 100% into! :)

I'm hoping we see a more "traditionally popular" villager get axed this next round, that would spice things up! I think realistically we're getting into the zone where the next ones to go will likely be ones most rankers feel more neutral about and rated towards the middle, skewed by a few really low or high ratings.
 
I also wanted to point out that villagers who received the same overall score (tie), were placed higher or lower depending on where the public placed them.

Maybe, I saw some interesting placements for some “traditionally popular” villagers.
 
Oh my, I was the most savage review of this lot. I really think she is horrendous (though not the worst!), but I'm glad she exists for the people who do love her.
 
Personally, I want to see Judy out sooner than later. She's traditionally popular to me at this point, almost in the same tier as Marshal and Raymond, and her eyes are a deal breaker. Though I'm not confident that she places lower than top 10, that would be awesome to see because I am personally hoping the crown goes to a more "low-key" but awesome villager (Looking at you Reneigh!)
 
Honestly, I have trouble remembering some of those who fell outside my top and bottom rankings.

Although still sad to see tabby go, I am hopeful, but not too hopeful, that bangle makes it a bit farther. I think the tigers aren’t terrible popular, so not expecting her to be number one or anything, but it’s been fun seeing her get a little love during this whole thing.

@Coolio15 Judy is probably my favorite of the ultra popular villagers, though I know exactly what you mean about her eyes (I apparently just like a high level of weirdness, that’s something i’ve had driven home to me during this whole thing), so I don’t exactly hope she does badly, but I do think there are a lot of other villagers deserve more notice than they get. Reneigh is an interesting one for me. I saved her, in the same round that I cut marshal and Raymond, and I think she has an awesome design, but at the same time she doesn’t really ‘click’ for me personally (I love so many of the horse designs but I dunno, something holds me back from inviting them when I come across them). Still I have a weird abstract fondness for her (plus I love the uchis) so I would love to see her do well.

No idea how they will place, but this all has caused me to love Eloise, and it is the reason I was curious enough about bones to invite him to my island. What a trip.

I won’t lie, I have been rooting for Canberra to leave ever since the first cutting round. I just don’t like her at all. She has the most obnoxious eyes and her large eyebrows just make her look so mean. Throughout this rankdown, I have been trying to see the good in her, but as you can tell by this write-up, I still haven’t. Part of the reason why I have developed such a dislike for Canberra is because my friend had her in their New Leaf town and hated her. I was so afraid of getting her voided, so I started to develop a dislike for her too. For someone who is supposed to represent the capital of Australia, Canberra is just such a disgrace. I was hoping Canberra would place #24, but I guess other people like her more than I do.

Ranker/Public Write-Ups​
@Asarena - I used to like her even less than I do now, but she has grown on me a bit. Unfortunately, she hasn't grown on me enough to put her above anyone other than Tabby on this list. I guess the main issues for me are her facial expression and her hair. She looks mean to me which makes me feel like she'd bully me and the other islanders. I like villagers with unique expressions, but it doesn't quite work with Canberra. I think the eyebrows are fine, but a different mouth could make her seem a bit friendlier. Something about her hair seems off as well, maybe how symmetrical it is? That dark red blush isn't doing her any favors either. On a positive note, I think her eye color is really pretty.

@misstayleigh - Oh, Canberra… it is unfortunate your nose and eyebrows are… well… like that. I always thought I wasn’t a fan of koalas in NH, but recently saw Gonzo on an island and thought he was pretty swell—and then I saw MELBA and fell in love instantly. So you’re not as low as you would’ve been pre-Melba infatuation, but I am just not a fan of the aggro design. Her cheeks are, cute, though.

@VexTheHex - Something about her face always read off to me as those mug shots of drug addicts. Every time. I look at her and she makes me think of those bizarre stares those people can give when they get taken for their photos. It's off putting. Very off putting. Her coloring isn't appealing. Her blush is huge. The hair fringe is ugly. The default outfit makes it look like she walks around in a old timey swim suit or strong man outfit. Her mouth and eyebrows are intense. Her interior is barren. Her exterior is a ugly yellow tint on wood which looks off. "It's never too late to start over" is her motto and could apply to her design.
 
I was pretty sure Olaf, Tabby, and Canberra would place in the bottom three since they're probably the least popular villagers in the final 24, so I'm definitely not surprised to see Canberra here, although I was actually expecting Olaf to rank above her.

That being said, I'm very impressed with how well Canberra has done in this competition - she's one of the least popular villagers in the game, got all the way to the final 24 and I think she's the most widely hated villager to make it this far without any fast pass to help her, plus I only had a hand in saving her once. I thought she'd be a goner in round one but I added her into the competition anyway because she's one of my favourite uchis and we have a history.

I didn't end up doing a write-up for her initially since there were six others that I ranked above her, but just to add some of my opinion on Canberra, I hated her when I first saw her. I remember scrolling through a thread full of people venting about having Canberra in their town shortly after NL was released and thinking 'wow, I'm so glad I don't have her, that would suck'. And of course, my next move-in happened to be... Canberra. ;\ So I hated her at first, but I remember I couldn't help thinking that she was kind of cute when she did the happiness emotion, and somehow she just grew on me. I ended up keeping her for over a year until she left without telling me, and I was so sad that I built a signpost where her house used to be to honor her memory. Her appearance definitely takes some getting used to, but I loved having her around.

I am shocked by how well she has done in this competition. Ah, so you’re the one who added her! 😅

I wish I could have a change of opinion in regards to Canberra... 😢
