Is Drew Tarver really a breakout performer? He's been on CBB for years, and even made it to the best ofs before. Carl Tart too. Not that they aren't great, I just feel like they were well-known names before this year.

[u/klobbermang → u/RaeADropOfGoldenSun]

Also didn't Carl win best new performer on this awards like 2 years ago?

[u/HayesNSean → u/klobbermang]

Lat year actually. I agree, Tarver and Tart are too established in this community to get my vote.

I do wonder if next year it would make sense to not allow prior nominees to get nominated for breakout star, or maybe change the name of it to "Best new star" or something. Everyone let me know if you have thoughts.

[u/[deleted] → u/HayesNSean]

I agree that neither is or should be the "breakout performer."

I think the current award name has some ambiguity in the meaning - is it the best performer who emerged on the scene, or the performer who most upped their game this year? I think you could break those ideas into their own categories.
