Quoted from DS_Nadine:But not even hinting at him in a list where he is propably the most 'important' person is kinda ridiculous.
That statement is well....kinda ridiculous unless you change "most" to "least" ,then I would say that you sir are spot on. 
Quoted from DS_Nadine:well or as close as they get when you see his listenership and that he won the Twipys.
The numbers that you see on his podcasts represent clicks not individual listeners. So a guy who can only stand him for 2 minutes at a time would click 15 times on average per podcast. It would also fit his personality profile to have bots click his podcast to make it look like he has more listeners. I wouldn't be surprised if he has one 10th of actual listeners that the podcast numbers show.
As for Twipy, anyone can come up with an award, as much as I enjoy TWIP for their news and reporting, I think they cheapen themselves by having such an easily skewed award show that has great potential for biased and incorrect conclusions. Based on the sample size of the votes compared to the number of pinball owners or even pinside for that matter, it would not pass statistical criteria for validity. Here is something to consider. Pinstadium won the TWIPY for best mod and they happen to sponsor TWIP but when you look at this thread's poll it makes you want to re-evaluate the results of the awards.

Best to keep the troll sleeping under a bridge, pinside is a much better place without him.
Quoted from ZMeny:Not to get off track, but accusing the TWIPYs of being rigged and questioning the integrity of Jeff is in poor taste and offensive and quite frankly fucking ridiculous. A lot of work and time went into providing the yearly viewers choice pinball awards. Objectivity is everything to This Week In Pinball and it’s unfortunate that ignorant statements like this are out there to potentially derail efforts made to improve the legitimacy and enjoyment of the pinball hobby.
You really do not know what you are talking about or know how to interpret my statement so I guess I will help you. I stated that I enjoy TWIP which obviously means that I consider them a legitimate source of information. In no where in my statement did I accuse them of anything other than to suggest that they do not do those awards because some of their sponsors are nominated, sample sizes are not statistically valid, and the one particular poll actually contradicts the outcome of at least one of the awards. All legitimate contests are typically closed to family, friends, affiliates of any kind and that would include sponsors. TWIP does not need a contest like that can potentially mire them in controversy. You can choose to disagree with my views, debate me if you wish or PM me but keep it civil.
