Actually, Sauce, I think the game is doing rather well, especially for being minor works that people are certainly less familiar with than the characters in previous Survivors.

That said it would be too clichéd to have a Smith vs. Farmer Giles (I’m not writing out his ‘full’ name) final so I’ll vote for Smith if you’ll vote off long-name. The only catch would be that I want Giles gone first...

And if you really want to take on bigger characters then this would be a good way to do it.

Sorry. No can do, as there is no guarantee that Smith will follow. An additional vote for Smith will not be enough, whereas an additional vote for Giles will probably see him off.

C'mon. Smith is much more of a challenge. Don't you like challenges?

Or you could just vote for the Faerie Queen today as a token of good faith ...

If Giles goes before Smith than voting for the Faerie Queen today is a possibility...

Ho-hum.

--NELL, ++THE FAERIE QUEAN

And yes, that spelling's deliberate and a rather nasty Middle English pun to back Sauce's rationale.

I'm all for the big characters being finalists. To that end:

Same here. In fact, my ideal scenario involves a final round with Smith vs Giles. I'm sure everyone can guess what I want for the outcome.

Yeah, and the Faerie Queen is a frooping massive character.

Come on, everyone. A little variation. Women, do you possess the strength of character to evict a woman?
