Welcome to our #January Monthly Review Rumble, where great reviews are nominated, the community learns about new and interesting products, and Contributors are rewarded.

Below are January's nominations.

As always, it was REALLY tough narrowing it down because many reviews were simply outstanding!

Please read each entry and vote for the review(s) you like best.

Rules:

- You cannot vote for yourself
- You can vote for up to 3 reviews

The winner will receive a $15 Gift Card! less

Even though 3 votes are allowed, most people don't vote that way. As I am posting this, I see that there are 9 votes from 7 voters. So, it is most people only voted once.

While I know that Eden doesn't offer this, they might want to consider the option to rank our top three choices (ie. 1st choice = 3 points, 2nd choice = 2 points, 3rd choice = 1 point) in polls.

I think some people struggle with the fact that, logically, if you vote for your top three choices but you like one review most, you are advancing the votes of your favorite review and also the its top competition. However, if you only choose to vote for one, it gives your favorite review a better chance of winning. less

Since March 2016, when I started reviewing on the site, there has not been one reviewer who has won three Review Rumbles in a row.

I have noticed that reviewers who write the most reviews and put in the most time get nominated most. For instance, OH&W, Lovebears has been nominated 8 times since I have joined the site, and they write good reviews most frequently. In comparison, I have been nominated 6 times since I have joined, but I don't write reviews as often. This is how it should be in my opinion; people should be rewarded for putting in the time to create great reviewers by being nominated for the Review Rumbles. The winners of the Rumbles are decided by the contributors on the site, so in my view it is fair.

Other trends I have found:
1) Lingerie and accessory reviews don't usually win against toy reviews.
2) Top voted reviews almost always have good pictures.

I would also like us all to take a moment to appreciate the work that Lena Eden does. She must read through so many reviews each month to create the Review Rumbles! I have noticed that there is always a good mix of new and old faces. She works hard and does a great job! Let's not forget that!!! less

Just as an FYI, I haven't been nominated once But having all the reviews for the past month vs a subset of once that really stood out is not a bad practice. I am curious if they are chosen based on traffic, views, ratings, reviewer rank, etc... or if it's just Lena's favorites? less

omg, neck to neck again with DKK. Only 4 hrs to vote unless extended.
And looks like a dark horse in a real sexy outfit is right on our tails. Actually yours since that's what your review is on.

Good luck DKK and alyssadrew91
Personally I would like the sexy officer to win.
We already both won a few last year. less

That's so strange. I set up email notifications for this thread, and I got a notification on February 24, 2017 at 12:05 AM saying the poll closed. In fact, I remember the original close date was midnight. So, OH&W, Lovebears, it looks like the poll was extended!

Yes, some confusion originally a date was set,then suddenly closed before deadline. If possible go back and see what original date was. I think they got it right.

Congratulations my fluffy kitty kat
And also the Mallorys, alyssadrew91 and the others.

Next time ! less

Hey, everyone!

It seems that we had a technical error on the website, that's why the poll was open more time than it should.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestions, today the #Rumble will have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.

So, DancerKittyKat takes gold ($15 gift card), OH&W, Lovebears - silver($10 gift card) and Mallorys along with alyssadrew91 get bronze ($5 gift card)!!

Congratulations!!! less
