@Interactive Booster I see.

The one thing I dislike about the second season is that the season feels more like it's heavily focusing more on each character that gets the spotlight, and if you don't get the spotlight and you appear, you really don't do much to contribute to the episode. I guess that's a factor on people getting frustrated with how "____ isn't getting any attention" or "_____ has been left out a lot lately". A few examples: Fluttershy has really been quiet this season, probably more than any other main character. Could it be because she had a lot of focus last season, or maybe that simply the crew wanted to give other members more focus this season? Thankfully, she will be the next character to get the spotlight. The other example being Spike. He had a good first 1/3 of the second season, but then after "Hearth's Warming Eve", it's like he fell off a cliff in appearances. He's missed four episodes so far in 2012, and only one episode where he appeared in more than one scene. The other two, he only appeared in one scene. It has felt like that the little guy is being written out of the show (it's not going to happen, but it kind of felt like it). Thankfully, he gets a second season 2 episode. Heck, he's more underrated than the other six.

To be fair, Applejack has had a great amount of focus this season, especially during the middle. Same goes for Rainbow Dash, though her focus was greater in the first 1/3 of the season. AJ has missed only one episode this season, and she's tied with Twilight Sparkle in total appearances overall. As for the fans loving Applejack, she may not be the top pick among fans, but I'm sure the majority of them like her. We shouldn't worry about who's more popular. Also, let's not attack fans for being supportive of a character.
