That was fun.
After three weeks and over 40,000 votes (it was way less but I'm too lazy to add them all up), Patrick and I decided to recap at the worst things this town has to offer.
Here's our "2013 Worst of OKC" recap:
Worst News Station: KOKH FOX 25
Who knew less Speno would make anything worse? Apparently you all do not like this newscast, a whole bunch. That must mean you really hate things that are bad, so I can't blame you. - Joel
- KOKH - Channel 25 (47%, 861 Votes)
- KFOR - Channel 4 (24%, 446 Votes)
- KWTV - Channel 9 (15%, 278 Votes)
- KOCO - Channel 5 (14%, 241 Votes)
-
Worst Anchorman: Stan Miller KWTV 9
In all fairness, Stan is better at reading a teleprompter than he is looking cool on a motorcycle. - Patrick
- Stan Miller (35%, 507 Votes)
- Paul Folger (28%, 398 Votes)
- Kelly Ogle (18%, 254 Votes)
- Wendell Edwards (11%, 158 Votes)
- Kevin Ogle (8%, 121 Votes)
-
Worst Anchorwoman: KWTV 9
With four nominees each receiving over 20% of the vote, this was one of our closer categories. - Patrick

- Meg Alexander (24%, 364 Votes)
- Amanda Taylor (20%, 312 Votes)
- Linda Cavanaugh (20%, 309 Votes)
- Jessica Schambach (6%, 82 Votes)
-
Worst Weatherperson: Aaron Tuttle
Ignore the fact that an emotional Facebook addict with flat abs won this category. How did 8% vote for Emily Sutton? They're probably the same people who laugh during Bambi. - Patrick

- Mike Morgan (31%, 611 Votes)
- David Payne (11%, 216 Votes)
- Emily Sutton (8%, 159 Votes)

Worst Sports Media Personality: Regular Jim Traber, WWLS The Sports Animal
This was the closest category. Regular Jim Traber edged his arch-enemy Jenni Carlson by 1% (30-votes). Please don't tell Jim about this. I don't want him chasing me down in his golf cart like I'm a Japanese pitcher and / or Mazzio's Pizza delivery guy who forgot extra ranch. - Patrick

Worst Morning Radio Crew: Jack & Ron 98.9 KISS FM
They've won "The Morning Zoo" category in the Gazette's "Best Of" and our "Worst Of" for two years in a row. With that being the case, you'd think they would be more entertaining. - Patrick
- Jack & Ron (38%, 436 Votes)
- Joey & Heather (23%, 262 Votes)
- Rick & Brad (22%, 252 Votes)
- Magic Man (10%, 108 Votes)

-
Worst Douchebag: Big Chief
So, apparently this guy's fans hit up several street racing message boards encouraging people to vote. Wait, let me re-phrase that. Apparently Big Chief posing as a fan hit up several message boards encouraging people to vote. On this site. For worst douchebag. On behalf of everyone who wanted Christina Fallin to finish second, we salute you. - Patrick

Worst Person to Follow on Social Media: Abigail Ogle
She sure is a looker, that Abigail Ogle. Good thing I wrote a post allowing people to vote her the worst of something. At least we've gotten it out-of-the-way so any time we spend together won't be as weird and awkward. I'm kidding. It's gonna be stupid awkward. - Joel
- Abigail Ogle (39%, 287 Votes)
- Dean Blevins (28%, 207 Votes)
