Why are people so keen on protecting the blimming hypocritical Churchman?

OK. I admit it. I've conceived a passion for Nell. Her brave resilience against all my efforts! Her unexpected depth!

That leer I directed at her, my friends, was a leer of love.

Save my paramour, friendly Downers! Turbulent priest, begone!

And Diamond, if Nell is evicted have mercy...

Oh, this will be fun.

I have found the reaction of the Smith lobby to his eviction fascinating, actually. They have largely voted together, still. I wonder whether out of habit or whether there is another they wish to protect.

I also find their choice of Giles as the focus of their post-Smith fury interesting. Why Giles, I wonder? A number had already been voting for him. But, given his major character status, I found some of the votes strange.

So today, the main focus seems to be Nell and, less so, the Parson. I rather agree that, in the interests of balance, one of the "chicks" should go. But I still think that

+ + QUEEN OF FAERIE

is the one who's behaviour is most worthy of public rebuke.

Isn't that obvious?

Save The Parson!

(Or is it?

For his sneaky way of suggesting he knew how to read the script on Tailbiter when he really had to go and look it up. Arcane knowledge! He belongs in the Da Vinci Code:

+ + Parson

Nell: 5 votes

The Parson: 4 votes

Queen of Faerie: 1 vote

And so, as Ang declared his undying passion for Nell, she recoiled from him in horror.

"You what?"

He dove to one knee and grasped her hand. "I adore you, my sweet candy truffle, come away with me where we will make beautiful love together!"

"But... but..." she tried to extricate her hand, "you aided in the death of my husband!"

"Of course, he was in the way! And besides, he was having an affair with the Queen of Faerie, we did you a favor!"

"Erm... well I have children."

"Forget the little rugrats! You can bear my children and have a household of little Ang's running around." Ang attempted his most charming leer, but alas, it failed.

Nell, running out of verbal defenses, turned and ran. She ran, and ran, and ran, and no one ever heard from her again. Rumor has it she assumed a new identity and got plastic surgery to prevent Ang from ever tracking her down.
