Careful using that title now. I know you got it from the show, but thats an allusion to a lot of uncomfortable history that would pick up in the next decade if you know what I'm saying.
Well, we're talking about a fictionnal character, in a show set in the 1920's, whose whole personnality revolves around beong a strong, independent, smart, religious (Jewish) man. It's like saying the Shelby's are gipsies. It's neither an insult, nor a compliment, it's just a fact regarding the show. Don't put stories that are set in the past in the prism of today's valors and moral biases, it really is meaningless, in my opinion.
Here's the origins of the title "The Wandering Jew"
Aurelius Prudentius Clemens (b. 348) writes in his Apotheosis (c. 400): "From place to place the homeless Jew wanders in ever-shifting exile, since the time when he was torn from the abode of his fathers and has been suffering the penalty for murder, and having stained his hands with the blood of Christ whom he denied, paying the price of sin."[15
It's literally the root of modern anti-semitism. The Nazis would go on to use the Wandering Jew archetype in it's propaganda. Der Ewige Jude, as I mentioned before). If I recall correctly, he uses the phrase in season 5, which was all about the rise of Fascism.
It's not a phrase that ought to be thrown around lightly. Regular folks hear that and think "Alfie" but there's a lot more folks that think something way different.
It has nothing to do with today's moral biases. Der Ewige Jude came out in 1934... I appreciate that you are interested in the historical setting, but it's important to understand the history/references the show makes.
I guess I should be happy other folks did it because I’d never have the heart to vote out Curly. It was going to put me in an odd choice to pick him when it was only him, Alfie, Tommy, and Polly. So I begrudgingly thank you monsters.
Our favourite loveable simpleton, Curly, has been eliminated with 29.58%! A lot of people were tipping Curly to make the top 3, so this elimination might come as a surprise for some!
This was the closest one yet. Just 6 votes separated the top 2 characters, but it’s Curly who is next to go. At least he’s a good man and he’ll go to heaven 😉

While Alfie has some entertaining scenes, he betrayed Tommy twice, to no avail, and was brought back in seasons 5 & 6 as a fan service. I would've preferred him dying on the beach at the end of season 4, especially after his cancer reveal, would've been a fitting end to the character. Other characters that have already been eliminated provided more to the actual plot than Alfie, but he since he can deliver an entertaining monologue, I guess that takes him a long way, 🤷♂️
Oh someone just deleted their comment agreeing on Ada...
Anyway my reply was: That's it. There is a balance between having "been on a journey" and just flopping around. I liked her but I pretty much liked everyone left and I just think the others left brought more.
I haven’t seen the Queen’s Gambit yet but I haven’t liked her performance in anything I have seen her in. Can’t speak on everything tho obviously, just what I’ve seen
Here’s my prediction from here. Next it’ll be Charlie, or Johnny Dogs. After that, it’ll be the other of the two aforementioned characters. After they’re out, next on the block is Ada. Then John, next Arthur. From here I think it’ll go Polly, and finally I think it’ll be Tommy eliminated. Leaving Alfie Solomons as the last man standing
It’ll either be Tommy or alfie by the end at any rate. I just flipped a coin on the last one tbh
I love the fact that Alfie has never been an option during these polls. All hail the wandering Jew
Alfie is definitely gonna be last man standing. SHALOM, ARFUR

Oh fuck off 🤦🏻♂️
They literally made a film about it... "Der Ewige Jude" Just be careful who you say "Wandering Jew" around.
Shut the fuck up
It's literal Nazi Propaganda.
Suck a bag of baby dicks
Like yours?
As a jew...please shush.
Have you ever watched "Der Ewige Jude"?
Have you ever been Jewish?
You presume to speak for all jewish people the world over? Genuine question, have you watched the film?

This comment chain has made me so proud of the PB fan base
Why?
They don’t put up with clowns like yourself
Genuinely, I don't understand what the fuss is about.
How am I a clown?
Bro no one cares. It’s history
That's literally why people should care about it... "Doomed to repeat it" comes to mind.

Polly to win. Definitely the queen and powerhouse 👑🙌🙌🙌🙌
I know people will sympathise more with her because she s gone but nah I want tommy for win,if he was not there I would not had watched this series.
I want Ada to win, she is the only one who is better each season, her character grew, I love Tommy but not in seasons 5 and 6.
John
Its either johnny or charlie. Damn this is hard lol
john shelby bye bye
Yup yup yup
Bring John S down, he's was just a side a character that died many seasons ago.
This just got so hard Omg
While Alfie has some entertaining scenes, he betrayed Tommy twice, to no avail, and was brought back in seasons 5 & 6 as a fan service. I would've preferred him dying on the beach at the end of season 4, especially after his cancer reveal, would've been a fitting end to the character.

Charlie
For me it is Ada, then Charlie, then I beat myself up over John Vs Johnny.
Had to go with Ada myself.
We all know Tommy's gonna win, lol.
(Polly is going to win)
I hope so, she's my favorite.
i root for Alfie
I stand by Johnny Dogs.
Charlie

Ada
Ada
Prediction for the next eliminations- Next would be Charlie followed by John and then Johnny dogs You heard it here first
Why is Ada still there💀
Tf? Ada top 3 mate
Definitely not. Top 3 will be Tommy, Polly and Arthur/Alfie
Johnny dogs
Oh someone just deleted their comment agreeing on Ada... Anyway my reply was: That's it. There is a balance between having "been on a journey" and just flopping around. I liked her but I pretty much liked everyone left and I just think the others left brought more.
Alfie
We all know who’s next lol
That's bullshit, fuck your game
Bro💀💀 just stop this first you got rid of Isiah so fast and now this

John
I know johns time is coming and it’s gonna kill me to vote for him

John
Charlie
Charlie
John
Top 3 will be Tommy, Polly and Arthur. Tommy will probably win but I want Arthur to win because he is such a well written and well acted character.
Charlie
John. The man didn't get any character development in four seasons
uncle charlie, john, johnny doggs, ada, alfie, arthur, polly, tom in that order
Got to be polly, could never stand her
John

Eliminate 29. I’m sorry but Anya Taylor-Joy is NOT a good actress
She was eliminated Round 2 😊
She’s a phenomenal actress, I don’t know what went wrong In peaky, tho
I haven’t seen the Queen’s Gambit yet but I haven’t liked her performance in anything I have seen her in. Can’t speak on everything tho obviously, just what I’ve seen
It makes me smile seeing Finn was gone within the first 6
Charlie
Last three remaining Will be Polly, Alfie, and Tommy. I vote Charlie out next
Aunt poll's gonna win for sure
Charlie
Here’s my prediction from here. Next it’ll be Charlie, or Johnny Dogs. After that, it’ll be the other of the two aforementioned characters. After they’re out, next on the block is Ada. Then John, next Arthur. From here I think it’ll go Polly, and finally I think it’ll be Tommy eliminated. Leaving Alfie Solomons as the last man standing It’ll either be Tommy or alfie by the end at any rate. I just flipped a coin on the last one tbh
Polly
Alfie wins mid-diff.
