I haven't been here long so I'm not sure which people you mean, reyfer, but I have seen this on other forums before. Personally, I adore Sayu, but to play devil's advocate for a minute...Sayu is in a pop music group that is mainly concerned with singing and dancing, but she's not very good at either one. From that perspective, it's not entirely surprising that some people would write her off as a good-for-nothing.
But for her failings as a singer, she does have the characteristics of a good
idol. She's charimatic, energetic, photogenic and a damn hard worker. Her quirkiness makes her the best HPH host (IMHO) and she's done well with the radio show so far. She also seems like she's having loads of fun with it all, which is something that I don't see in some of the other girls. Compared to, say, Miki or Taka, who have the chops to eventually leave idol-dom behind and focus on solo careers, Sayu acts like she wants to enjoy every moment of this miracle before it disappears.
The result is, Sayu has built up a cult of personality, as reflected in that poll. And this is getting long, so I'll shut up now.
P.S. Lucky pig indeed
