Freddies are sort of a joke. In the not so distant past certain properties or airlines have received a large number of negative votes. The Freddy people declared that this was somehow not right, and readjusted the ratings. Cooked numbers from surveys make the entire survey suspect.

I also suspect there must be some kind of rights issued to use the words Freddie award in advertisements, and if so, there is the reason for fudging results.
