Well, even then I think Kim would probably have her beat. She had the extra long season 1 to help her numbers, plus all of season 2 and most of season 3. Cassie had half of Turbo and In Space... even if you add Lost Galaxy, Kim'd still have her beat.

(For what it's worth I voted for Cassie last round!)

Well, Cassie had aspirations to be like Tina Turner.
That easily trumps any skills Kim may have

*Raises Hand* I'd like to start the conspiracy threory and say Kim is only winning because of Nostalgia.

Where have you been for this whole...tournament?

Nostalgia and cool to like are the only reasons characters move on until the bullshit meter is filled, and then for one round - maybe two at a push people vote on the merits of the characters.

Then it goes back to nostalgia and cool to like.

Well, to be honest, of all the Rangers we've had, Syd is probably circling bottom 10 in my book.
I just didn't like her, which is why I voted for Kim...

And I will counter that the only reason Syd had an early lead is anti-MMPR bias. Anti-nostalgia, if you will.

And for having actual training. Super human powers. An actual character.

You could say all of this was paper thin, and I'd agree, but Kim was nothingness just like the whole MMPR cast.

Actual training? Like ninja training?. Or more experience fighting monsters than any other Pink Ranger ever?

Super human powers? How about having a heart, love of her fellow man, and honest to goodness compassion? Don't those count for anything?

An actual character? Save that argument for some who actually had one, not Syd. Even if this was a "best character" poll, which it is not, Syd still loses that.

Police training, which encompassed future tech, weapons, shooting, hand to hand, interrogation and all other aspects that go into being a cop. She didn't just have to blow the monsters up, she had to use her training to solve the issue.

Compassion is great but it doesn't stand a chance if Syd absorbs a diamond or something and punches Kim straight in the chops.

And sure Syd was a paper thin character but that is more than Kim can say. And characterisation and personality are as key to the ultimate Ranger as the biggest gun.
