Friendship One is a pretty bad episode, but Fury is just pure character assassination. Kes deserved better. I can see the producers getting excited at the visuals as Kes comes on board and starts using all that energy, ripping the ship apart. 
I'll save Friendship One.

A character I never liked to begin with comes back for the sole purpose of messing with the crew...A character I did like comes back for the sole purpose of being killed off 4 episodes before getting home...Are these seriously my choices? I gotta go Friendship One. We may not like Kerry dying, but it's a thing that happens sometimes to a Starfleet officer. Fury...that pile of garbage makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...AND I never liked the character that they brought back for no good reason anyway!

I will vote for "Fury" because Kes was at least treated well most of the time. Carey... from B'Elanna being promoted over him for assaulting him, through six years of nothing, to redshirting him near the end, was crapped on from start to finish. He was the one character on the show who could actually envy Harry "The Forever Ensign" Kim.

Comes down to me then.
"FRIENDSHIP ONE" is saved only because the other is FAR worse. At least this one had a story that made some sense, though that could be argued by many. And it was an actual Starfleet assignment for the ship.
"FURY" wins this year. And frankly, rightly so. Not only does the story make no sense, but it removed a good exit of Kes only to have her final appearance be horrible. The only thing I liked about it was the Vidiians were back one last time and we got an explanation for Wildman's ridiculously lengthy pregnancy.
Thank you all for playing. This was definitely the worst group of finals of this game I'ver seen. I shall start ENTERPRISE shortly.

It definitely deserves to reign for a while, like with The Emporer's New Cloak for DS9.
Fury isn't my personal worst episode, but it's telling that VOY produced three of its worst episodes during season 6. That's VOY in a nutshell though. When it was good, it was amazing. When it was bad?

In terms of final winners of this game, 2 from season six have won... "SPIRIT FOLK" and "FURY". "FAVORITE SON" and "THE FIGHT", season 3 and 5 respectively, are the others.
Funny coincidence, each title has a word that starts with 'F'. I guess failure really does start with that letter...

You know "Fury" would make more sense if it was called "Furry", Kes growing hair all over her body and becoming a werewolf... which would also explain her behavior.
It really is true that the only thing to enjoy about "Fury" is Vaughn Armstrong as a Vidiian.
I also always find it particularly bonkers that the ending is "we're going to send Kes off in her ship so she can return to Ocampa to die at home", when Kes seems to have mere weeks to live and the journey back to Ocampa would take, what, 45 years at that point, with all the shortcuts.
It always leaves me picturing her dying alone in space on that ship, an even more sour taste to go out of the episode on.
Or maybe she found just the right combo of shortcuts to cover a 45 year journey in 2 weeks! Fingers crossed I guess.

Or maybe she did to her ship what she did to Voyager in "The Gift" and projected herself 45 000 light-years ahead. I know Voyager pays no tribute to consistency, continuity, or logic for that matter but this would seem like a reasonable assumption.

Honestly this could have easily gone to any of the last half-dozen, but "Fury" is surely primus inter pares because of it utterly screwing up Kes's exit from the show in season four. A worthy winner/loser.
Hmm. My choice would have been "Tsunkatse." Near as I can tell, it's entire raison d'etre was to promote the network's professional wrestling franchise.
I forget: was that also the one with crew members imprisoned in a seemingly underground penal colony that turned out to be a space station, or was that a different one?

I believe that's "The Chute".
Correct. And "The Chute" was pretty decent as episodes go. If nothing else, it highlighted Tom and Harry's friendship, which was one of Voyager's nicest bits.
"Tsunkatse" had some good fight scenes and Jeffrey Combs, and for that alone it's not bottom of the barrel... but Voyager has better offerings.
Thanks. Couldn't remember whether I'd conflated two episodes. (I don't think it's the first time I'd conflated two ST episodes. I've conflated other people and things as well: for many years, I conflated the composers Jaromir Weinberger [known entirely for "Schwanda the Bagpiper"] and Josef Rheinberger [known for his organ works].)
As for "Tsunkatse," it just seems so [obscenity] ridiculous to write and produce a ST episode solely for the purposes of (1) cross-promoting ST and professional exhibition wrestling (I can't imagine two more different target audiences), and (2) giving a professional wrestler a break at acting outside the ring.

I can see that justice and truth prevailed and I'm happy for that. 
The worst and most insulting episode ever to be made in any TV-series deserves nothing better than to end up as the worst episode in the series.
The most logical would be if this episode was erased from all future DVD:s, re-runs or whatever of Voyager and that it would never be mentioned or remembered again.
