People's Choice Awards - Different categories

[undeadshot]

MS
Shooting star: Chen Long

WS
Defective cyborg: WYH
She does look like she needs to be repair.

XD
Resurgent: Joachim/Christinna
Joachim has injury problem at the start of the year. It is impressive that they can end the year with a title.

Totally agree on WS and XD. I would still prefer Wang Zhengming for MS but Chen Long is a good option too.

Love the selection and the reasons! Couple of additional suggestions...
How can you not consider Tago and HH for Goofball??
Shooting Star: How about adding JOJ as a contender? He actually delivered on potential.

The only one I will totally disagree with you is probably the goofball, we don't know how he is like and honestly he isn't popular enough to make it here

So another vote for Lin Dan on the handsome side, so Boonsak is out of the picture
Bao Chunlai, sadder than SDK? Possibly. I change my vote to BCL.

[madbad]

Fellas, just having a laugh with Dick Long Chan. That's a totally goofball name.

Remember, it's as much for fun as it's for correctness.

Again, love the selection for the most part! Couple of additions for your consideration..
Saddest story: add Zhou Mi ?
Most beautiful: Add Pi Hongyan? Eriko Hirose?

Haha, nobody "out-beautys" my beloved HHY. But I'd definitely give Reiko and PHY a second glance

Oh well... there's no accounting for taste... !!!!

[PoLLuX]

Resurgent in MD - Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan. They lost their shine at the start of the year but since the Asian Games they have came back strongly and are now considered a force to be reckoned with, just like back in 2008 and 2009. Any INA fans here to agree?

Agree. Another vote from me

[PoLLuX]

XD
Resurgent: Joachim/Christinna
Joachim has injury problem at the start of the year. It is impressive that they can end the year with a title.

Totally agree with your assesment on JFN/CP. One more vote from me
