Are the AVN and XBIZ Awards rigged? Let’s do the math …

In February (when I was working on another site) I did an article about agents and awards. I noticed that one agent more than any other were winning awards. So I hired a guy who has a PhD in Theoretical Astrophysics, as well as a degree in Theoretical Physics who was a particle physicist at CERN and current math teacher, who helped me calculate these odds of that happening.

 Assuming that each agent has an equal likelihood of being chosen each year, the probability of the same agent being chosen all five years is 1 in 1,048,576.

Actually let’s start over from the beginning because it’s a good story.

For years people have been saying the AVN awards are rigged. Are they? I don’t know. But I came across some damning evidence that makes you really wonder, if not the entire AVN awards, maybe there is something to the rumors at least in two of the categories.

I love statistics. So I decided to let the math speak for itself.

The first thing I did was make a list of everyone who won an AVN award in the two categories in question and made a list. I went back 5 years. Then I decided to throw in the same data for the XBIZ awards. I mean if it happens with one awards, why not see about the other, right? Let me show you what I mean …

AVN Female Performer of the Year

  • 2016 – Riley Reid (Spiegler)
  • 2015 – Anikka Albrite (Spiegler)
  • 2014 – Bonnie Rotten (Spiegler)
  • 2013 – Asa Akira (Spiegler)
  • 2012 – Bobbi Starr (Spiegler)

There are roughly 16 LA licensed agents right now. What are the odds that out of the 16 or so legit agents in the business, every single winner for the last 5 years comes from one single agent?

Now let’s come both awards for this category.

AVN Female Performer of the Year

  • 2016 – Riley Reid (Spiegler)
  • 2015 – Anikka Albrite (Spiegler)
  • 2014 – Bonnie Rotten (Spiegler)
  • 2013 – Asa Akira (Spiegler)
  • 2012 – Bobbi Starr (Spiegler)

XBIZ Female Performer of the Year

  • 2016 – Dani Daniels (OC Modeling)
  • 2015 – Anikka Albrite (Spiegler)
  • 2014 – Riley Reid (Spiegler)
  • 2013 – Brooklyn Lee (Spiegler)
  • 2012 – Asa Akira (Spiegler)

See a pattern yet?

The odds for something like that occurring 5 years in a row have to be astronomical, right? So I thought well it could just be a crazy coincidence and to find out, I decided to add in another category – the other most important performer category – best new starlet.

AVN Best New Starlet

  • 2016 – Abella Danger (Spiegler)
  • 2015 – Carter Cruise (Spiegler)
  • 2014 – Mia Malkova (Matrix Models)
  • 2013 – Remy LaCroix (Spiegler)
  • 2012 – Brooklyn Lee (Spiegler)

In this important performer category, Spiegler girls won 4 out of 5 years. Again the odds of this happening are huge. I mean come on …. out of 16 agents, one wins every single time for 5 years in a row and 4 out of 5 times in the other category?

Something just seems off there, no? So let’s take a look over at XBIZ. These are the winners of the XBIZ Awards for the last 5 years. Same pattern emerges …

AVN Best New Starlet

  • 2016 – Abella Danger (Spiegler)
  • 2015 – Carter Cruise (Spiegler)
  • 2014 – Mia Malkova (Matrix Models)
  • 2013 – Remy LaCroix (Spiegler)
  • 2012 – Brooklyn Lee (Spiegler)

XBIZ Best New Starlet

  • 2016 – Abella Danger (Spiegler)
  • 2015 – Carter Cruise (Spiegler)
  • 2014 – Christy Mack (101 Modeling)
  • 2013 – Riley Reid (Spiegler)
  • 2012 – Jessie Andrews (Spiegler)

Awards season is my absolute favorite time of the year. Besides the obvious marketing advantage to award nominations there is also the fun of getting ready for the shows and getting to see what everyone is wearing. Red carpet is just absolutely the best.

So again I wanted to know what the odds where of this happening on it’s own.

I’m horrible at math but even common sense will tell you that the odds that the same agent has the winner porn star every year in a row for 5 years running is high. Lucky for me I found a guy from Ireland who has a PhD in Theoretical Astrophysics, as well as a degree in Theoretical Physics who was a particle physicist at CERN and current math teacher, who helped me calculate these odds.

Here is what he had to say …

Assuming that each agent has an equal likelihood of being chosen each year, the probability of the same agent being chosen all five years is 1 in 1,048,576.

Those are some crazy odds that a Spiegler girl would win 5 years in a row …. 1 in a million chance and yet it happened! Can you believe it?

  • LA Direct Models (as of today) has 53 female performers on their roster.
  • Spiegler has 31 female performers on their roster.
  • OC Modeling has has 52 female performers on their roster.
  • ATMLA has 45 female performers on their roster.

In all that works out to be 181 total active female performers.

Now out of those 181 female performers. Who are the most popular? To determine this we turn to our friend Google. Every time a fan Google’s their favorite porn star’s name, Google records that search. The more “searches” a particular porn star has, the more famous she is.

They record the same data for all celebs. That’s why at the beginning of each year you see those most popular celeb lists. Anyway back to porn stars … I ran a report today at Google. So keep in mind this data is valid as of July 14, 2016.

Out of the top 4 agencies (LA Direct Models, OC Modeling, ATMLA and Spiegler Girls) who has the most famous performers?

LA Direct Models – BY FAR. There wasn’t even a competition. Let’s look at the top 10 and you’ll see why.

  1. Alexis Texas (LA Direct) 2,740,000 searches per month
  2. Asa Akira (Spiegler) 1,220,000 searches per month
  3. Tori Black (LA Direct) 1 million searches per month
  4. Dani Daniels (OC Modeling) 823k searches per month
  5. Dillion Harper (LA Direct) 823k searches a month
  6. Mia Malkova (LA Direct) 823k searches a month

  8. Julia Ann (ATMLA) 550k searches a month
  9. Peta Jensen (OC Modeling) 550k searches a month
  10. Valentina Nappi (Spiegler) 550k searches a month

42% of the best talent belong with LA Direct

24% of the best talent belong with Spiegler

22% of the best talent belong with OC Modeling

12% of the best talent belong with ATMLA

With a million to 1 odds against it happening and knowing the most popular porn stars are with another agent, how is it Spiegler girls are winning the awards?
I can’t say for sure if something funny is going on or not, but the numbers are staggeringly odd.
Draw your own conclusions.
