They chose Ron as the ovious choise...and because of the popularity of the two being a couple and because the fans clamor for a Season 4...they got season 4. The whole Heroin and Side Kick thing (as long as it is the opossite sex.  Not the Batman and Robin thing. That is way there is Bat Girl, to avoid the confusion of them being gay.) Sometimes surveys can hurt.... Just like the survey in which whether or not the Jason Todd (the new robin) will die...the fan choose him to die...and the creators and the fans regretting that decision which turn created the Red Hood (resurrecting Jason Todd). I have notice most of you are fans of the Apritello Ship but most or all of you said that this ship will not last and it is just for comedic roles...and then the writers decided to make it serious relationship. Just to make the fans happy....where is the writers CREATIVENESS....
 * PFFT* Some editors.

Ah true, true. Survey's are basically just the audience spoonfeeding to the writers. I don't agree with them unless it's a really dire situation that is important to the canon (such as Jason Todd's death for instance). Otherwise, USE YOUR OWN BRAIN, WRITERS! Pay attention to social media! If fans are pulling for this one pairing, but you originally planned for a different pairing with one/both of those character that you think makes more sense and fans will love it more, stick to your guns and do your idea. If it doesn't stick with audiences, you can always change it. But Yosh is right, if fans are giving a pairing so much support in such overwhelming numbers, that ship at least deserves the light of day to show a dating story between the characters (within reason). Surveys just make the result predictable, and take the fun out of the experience. Not to mention in most cases they are completely unnecessary! Again, PAY ATTENTION TO SOCIAL MEDIA! Or at the very least start a discussion with fans about what they like about the show and what they would like to see in it. That alone can answer the question and still keep them guessing. Shippers seldom keep their mouth shut about a shipping they support.

Don't think this show has that many ground-breaking crossovers possibilities. Ahough we've already seen the 1987 turtles crossover and is already confirmed to cross over with TMNT again in the 2012 series, as well as a few cameos of non-TMNT characters, the 2003 series already did those. If this series does do any extra special crossover that covers new ground in TMNT, I think the most likely would be with our Dark Knight, THE BATMAN HIMSELF! I say this because Batman has been somewhat prominent in TMNT as of recent with the IDW crossover comics, that now even Amazing Adventures (the comic literally based on the 2012 TV series) is introducing the DCAU Batman, basically a fandom dream come true. At this point, I don't think DC will have any problem with Batman crossing over with TMNT whenever they feel, especially because of the popularity of the turtles and the similar connotative methods of crime fighting. There is absolutely no reason why this can't/shouldn't happen in the 2012 series. IT'S FREAKING BATMAN! No need to think about it, no survey required, just pull a Shia LaBeouf and JUST, DO IT!!!
