I don't know. I think her minions would.
And now I have the image in my head of them putting a birthday suit together for her a la the mice in "Cinderella". ;D

Yikes. Kind of says a lot about the season that a significant chunk of it's in the bottom half of the rankings.

While I have mostly enjoyed the season throughout, I see that my main problem were that some episodes seemed either rushed and all over the place or that nothing really happenend (my two bottom episodes this season "One Bad Apple" and "Apple Family Reunion" suffered from those).

The season average is still only .15 lower than Season 2, with 2 episodes left.
That said, I'm expecting the polling for Magical Mystery Cure to be absolute chaos. It won't be reflective of the quality of the episode... just of what people think of Alicorn Twilight (presumably).

It says a lot, but I think it says more about last season than it does this season for a lot of fans. Like... now that I've given it some time, I don't think One Bad Seed or the season premiere deserve to be as low as they are. Especially the premiere; the King Sombra we were presented with was a very basic villain, but I think that was supposed to be intended. What we saw waiting outside of the Crystal Empire's barrier was a Sombra who had been weakened and sealed away by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna; even after being freed, he was still recovering from his beat down. But the traps he had laid to protect the Crystal Heart? Those were clearly the work of a very clever villain.
He wasn't a charismatic trickster like Discord, where not everyone can even agree that he is was a villain. He wasn't the sly, subtle usurper that Chrysalis was, where she was clearly evil, but she can also be seen as sympathetic. Sombra overthrew the past government of the Crystal Empire and enslaved its people, and was reduced to a being of rage and anger and hatred, the exact opposite of what Princess Cadance (the Crystal Princess and Princess of Love) stands for. That was actually a rather nice touch, IMO...
Likewise... I don't think "The Last Roundup" deserves to be as high as it is. I re-watched it very recently because I was trying to figure out how to translate her accent into text (it's a RP thing), and... it's good, but the second best episode thus far? No. I'm actually wondering if Derpy's appearance tainted how everyone felt about it... I'm not even gonna ask why Secret of my Excess is all the way up there, I think that's just an "opinion" thing...
The two Spike episodes this season got everything they deserved, though. Seriously.

After having a look again at the rankings, my opinion is that nothing in the Top Ten I would disagree with.
Only thing coming to mind for me is the very low ranking of MMMystery since I really liked that one, but diff'rent strokes.
However it will be really interesting to see what the ranking of Season 1 will bring.

I hope this will finally dispel the rumours about Photo Finish having Twilight's cutie mark.

The only reason why I think "The Last Roundup" is too high, really, is because I remember there was a lot of gushing over Derpy's cameo, and the poll happened within 24 hours of it airing. I'm wondering if that tainted people's opinion at the time, nothing more... but really, beyond it and SoME, I don't see much of a problem with the rankings up near the top, either.

I hope EoE can stay patient for another three weeks. After the season's over, we will do those Season 1 ratings.

However it will be really interesting to see what the ranking of Season 1 will bring. Let's see, top ten... I don't agree with the placement on a lot (my top five are probably in order Lesson Zero, Magic Duel, A Canterlot Wedding, The Best Night Ever, and Party of One), but can see most of them. There are some exceptions - I think Sleepless in Ponyville and Secret of My Excess while good are pretty overrated, and I really dislike Baby Cakes on rewatching it and outright hate Hurricane Fluttershy.

You know, especially when Sweetie Belle is involved, I wonder if there is a VA outtakes/bloopers reel out there somewhere from the recording sessions.
Because especially after that Crystal Empire from Sweetie Belle this episode, I have the image of all in the recording booth just losing it and having a laugh.
I just love all kinds of bloopers and would like to see a compilation of the VAs messing up lines, having a laugh afterwards etc..

The only one that I really wouldn't put around that area is Magic Duel, as I'd put Wonderbolt Academy in that slot instead.
