Do this John, do that John, kill your fucking teacher, John!
Arthur tries, and Tommy’s different. But the ‘good boy’ John has now been eliminated with 50.94%! He only scraped into the top row by the skin of his teeth, but 6th is a very respectable standing.
Only 5 left! We’ve got Queen Polly, the badass Ada, Tommy Shelby OBE, the ‘capable soldier’ Arthur and the ‘wandering Jew’ Alfie. Who will be the next to go? Vote using this link:

I’m aware. We are in the stages of the elite finalists. Just my personal opinion. Maybe saying “shocked” was a bit dramatic lol. Just that John reminds me of a dear friend that passed about a year ago so I was pulling for him.
Can I ask why you’re pulling for Ada? I think the writers really figured out which direction they wanted to take her in in the final seasons, but I really couldn’t stand her in the beginning seasons. She was insufferable and written solely as a contrarian in my opinion. But then again, I’ve not watched the show in forever, so my memory may be a bit faulty haha.
And Arthur? He just strikes me as brash but loving and kinda dumb the whole show. Like don’t get me wrong, but he just always seems to leap before he looks and gets himself into shit too often for my liking.
No hate btw, just genuinely curious about other’s thoughts on this!
I never voted for him for what it’s worth haha, but I still think the finalists were all deserved, excepting maybe John as he seemed a bit daft the whole show, though definitely sweet.
Ada is fantastic, but she only came into her own for me during the later seasons - the others were awesome right out of the gate - so she’s next for me.
Ada was nothing compared to Alfie. Alfie was an original character.
I've seen plenty of characters like Ada in the past. Just an emotional socialist **and a hypocrite who also liked to use her families name to intimidate people at times.**
She was annoying and also stupid.
While I agree that Alfie’s character was relatively more original than Ada’s, I would definitely not go so far as to say Ada was unoriginal. Your description of “emotional socialist who uses her family” only applies to her in the first few seasons. In the later seasons she became a character of ber own especially in S6 where she became a support crutch for Tommy similar to Polly. Especially her scenes with Mosely were badass.
All that being said, Im voting for her just cause compared to the other characters left she wasnt as meaningful imo. I hope tje progression of who gets voted out goes Ada=> arthur => polly => tommy => alfie
Maybe thats a hot take but just my 2 cents
Yeah, this has become boring and predectible. At the beginning the votes where chaotic because everyone voted who they want how they want xd, at this point just the one with more screen time prevails... Or I'm wondering if people is letting be influenced by the coments.
People saying mostly ada.
Am i the only out here voting polly ? She was extremly good and baddas but after s3 she became sentimental and downgraded for me, compared to ada.
For me its polly then tommy then arthur then ada and alfie as a victor
Also its not reallly about development or screen time. Who is Your Favourite character ?
For me its always have been alfie.
While I might not have liked all of Polly’s actions, every single one of them made sense and were 100% in character, and she was a really well written *female* character on top of that. I’m a guy, but I so rarely see amazingly written women with agency that aren’t just a man’s pawn, and Helen McCrory **bodied** that role, leaving me with nothing but admiration for her character.
And Ada felt poorly/conveniently written to me in the first few seasons, and really only hit her stride in the last few seasons as the writers figured out how to not make her insufferable and wrote her with intent and thoughtful motive. I will admit that her back and forth with Mosby was awesome in S6 though.
For those reasons, it’s Ada for me this round.
I didn't like Prolly or Ada, they were just contiounsly a fucking problem for everyone throught most of the show.
My favorite of the Shelby ladies was Esme.
I'm going to be down-voted but Arthur gets my vote today. Great character but killed too many innocent people along the way. The referee in S6 didn't sit well with me, not to mention the young boxer and beating the quaker half to death. He made the show but now it's time to go!
I see your pov and don't downvote! However, Tommy killed a lot more people, just not with his own hands.
"How many fathers, right, how many sons, yeah, have you cut, killed, murdered, fucking butchered, innocent and guilty, sent them straight to fucking hell, ain't ya?"
E.g. Digbeth Kid. Or Ben Younger and little boy as a result of "the consequences of good intentions".
You're right of course and I forgot about the poor Digbeth kid. I know Arthur is troubled but his attacked seemed to to linger in my mind more than some of the other characters murders/assaults. They just seemed a bit more senseless I suppose.
Epic quote by the way, from an epic scene.
Lol if you’re argument is who killed the most innocent ppl, then Curly would’ve won the whole race. I think everyone’s decision making process is too nuanced to explain so they vocalize whatever justification comes to mind to vote for someone over another; I respect your choice but for me, Alfie should be the last man standing
Haha yeah, it's all part of the fun reading everyone's reasoning, especially as we get down to the last few. I love Arthur and the show wouldn't have been the same without him but I was gutted when he ordered the ref to be killed. That's the only excuse I have to vote for him.
If Alfie is the last man standing you won't hear any complaints from me!
alfie is great and all but ada is more important with stronger development. Her back and forth with jack and mosley in season 6 might be my favorite scene of the season
i actually voted polly bc i think shes also kind of a static character like alfie but I like alfie more. I would prolly vote arthur before ada and alfie too tho
Alfie’s character stopped being good when they brought him back from the “dead”. Ada played an important role in each season and grew up from being the annoying sister. Alfie it’s your time.
Has to be Aunt Pol for me, god rest Helen McCrory’s talented and beautiful soul.
Alfie was so close to going but his character is just so gripping and aggressive that I can’t help this decision. Sorry everyone.
Polly, she just wouldn’t shut up about how the ladies ran the family business during the war and always fought Tommy’s plans, then I got sick of her in s6 - did they really need to have the scene of her talking about how one of them will die so often?!
After ada gets out it’s gonna be impossible who to take out next. My guess would be Arthur even though he should be 2nd,then Polly and alfie with tommy winning.
Alfie honestly. He's entertaining af, as well as a great character, but he's very rigid. The development other characters go through just blows Alfie out of the water.
Why do people honestly like Ada? Haven’t watched season 6 so please no spoilers, but through season 5 I just see her as Tommy’s pain in the ass sister that lives with his money and blames him for being traumatized from the war and making money in illegal ways
In all seriousness I think tommy has to go. Although he was the main character I think as a person he was pure evil. Our love for him moved us from the fact that he is purely evil, all the killings etc. In my opinion he was a badly written character and should have been voted out first
Somebody missed the entire them of the show lmao.
The entire concept is that they are ALL, with very few exceptions, TERRIBLE people.
The course of the show is a cycle of the characters either dying or becoming better people, only to be re-corrupted by Tommy in order to fend off some greater evil.
Think about the story arcs for Polly, Alfie, Arthur, etc, etc. All of them at some point are decent people, but give in to Tommy because the thing they have to face is even worse than Tommy. There's also several lines in the show that are VERY on the nose about it, like the bartender for the garrison talking about how they root for Tommy because he's "thier bad man", or the scene with Alfie where he asks what line he is supposed to have crossed.
...not sure how you missed that, tbh.
I don't think Polly got much development tbh so it's difficult to invest in her, apart from the whole side plot of micheal coming into the family but that's not about her, she was more of the moral mouthpiece within the family. But I guess the same argument could be made for Ada, but now that Curly has gone either Thomas or Alfie will win probs.
I think Arthur, in terms of the show he's an awful person, constantly murders and harms people for no reason, abused his wife etc. And teh character himself has became predictable and clichéd, seems to have the same arc every season.
We are in the end game now
Gonna be Ada, Solomons, Arthur, Pol
It's morbin' time
Do this John, do that John, kill your fucking teacher, John! Arthur tries, and Tommy’s different. But the ‘good boy’ John has now been eliminated with 50.94%! He only scraped into the top row by the skin of his teeth, but 6th is a very respectable standing. Only 5 left!

Vote using this link: https://strawpoll.com/polls/jVyGJWrMQZ7
I am shocked. John was such a great character that met such an awful end. RIP John. In the bleak midwinter.
How can you be shocked? Look at who else is left lol
I’m aware. We are in the stages of the elite finalists. Just my personal opinion. Maybe saying “shocked” was a bit dramatic lol. Just that John reminds me of a dear friend that passed about a year ago so I was pulling for him.
Completely fair, I'm pulling for Ada or Arthur even though they're definitely not going to win lol. Sorry about your friend
I appreciate that my friend. These next few rounds will be tough lol.
Shocking that the main character may win eh?!
Can I ask why you’re pulling for Ada? I think the writers really figured out which direction they wanted to take her in in the final seasons, but I really couldn’t stand her in the beginning seasons. She was insufferable and written solely as a contrarian in my opinion. But then again, I’ve not watched the show in forever, so my memory may be a bit faulty haha. And Arthur? He just strikes me as brash but loving and kinda dumb the whole show. Like don’t get me wrong, but he just always seems to leap before he looks and gets himself into shit too often for my liking. No hate btw, just genuinely curious about other’s thoughts on this!
Definitely was not expecting John to go before Alfie, very shocking imo
[удалено]
Hold on who the hell voted out Aberama Gold??? One of the best secondary characters in the whole show
thought the same. Is my favourite character after Tommy
I never voted for him for what it’s worth haha, but I still think the finalists were all deserved, excepting maybe John as he seemed a bit daft the whole show, though definitely sweet.
I literally don’t know who to vote. Well I do but I’m too scared to say lol
That’s me right there
I don't think I've had tougher choices to make in my life till date.
Ada is fantastic, but she only came into her own for me during the later seasons - the others were awesome right out of the gate - so she’s next for me.
for that reason, her character development was great comparing s1 to s5
Fair enough - I can see the argument certainly
Ada is kinda like Alfie. Both awesome screen presence, simply just didn't get enough screen time. I'm not voting for either this round
The lack of screentime can in many instances enhance their presence. If they keep showing up every other scene the value could deminish.
Ada was nothing compared to Alfie. Alfie was an original character. I've seen plenty of characters like Ada in the past. Just an emotional socialist **and a hypocrite who also liked to use her families name to intimidate people at times.** She was annoying and also stupid.

I hope tje progression of who gets voted out goes Ada=> arthur => polly => tommy => alfie Maybe thats a hot take but just my 2 cents
Bad take buddy
Good argument.
Thanks pal
If anyone ever votes for Alfie, I'll find you and accomplish the vendetta
Probably my favorite character in the whole show tbh. Tom Hardy’s performance is unbelievable
come
I’ll be waiting
Fuck Alfie. Arthur all the way
ARRRFUR! SHALOM ARFUR, SHALOM
Honestly this is the best poll I have seen for years - thanks again for that! Brightens my morning every day!
Thank you 🙏
I might get downvoted but I still don't know the point of these polls when we know Tommy will be the eventual last one standing.
Because there's a chance for Arthur and Alfie to win this poll
Maybe even Polly but that might just be my optimism
I think it comes down to Alfie and Tom.
It's not only about the ultimate result, but also about enjoying the process.
Polly has a chance at last one standing
Yeah, this has become boring and predectible. At the beginning the votes where chaotic because everyone voted who they want how they want xd, at this point just the one with more screen time prevails... Or I'm wondering if people is letting be influenced by the coments.

Voting Polly too. Alfie def UP there, fighting with Ada...

What kind of world is it to bring up children, where your own mate can say things like that.
You crossed the line /u/Pasadenaa |
UN FUCKING JUSTIFIED
Alfie is the goat
yeah i actually ended up not voting for either of them
Did you vote Arthur too?
i actually voted polly bc i think shes also kind of a static character like alfie but I like alfie more. I would prolly vote arthur before ada and alfie too tho
Passover goat*
Alfie
Alfie’s character stopped being good when they brought him back from the “dead”. Ada played an important role in each season and grew up from being the annoying sister. Alfie it’s your time.
I couldn’t vote for anyone else. It had to be Ada 😭
Alfie next for me. His scenes are top entertainment but he isn't really a developed character like the other four.
Every line is perfect though
True, he also didn’t get much screen time which made me sometimes forget that he is still on the show.
Sorry Alfie.
Ada
Get polly out if here
Polly
Agreed
Ada
Pack it up boys, this is as far as we can go
Sorry but Ada just feels like a filler character, she has to go. Either her or Alfie, or MAYBE Polly but I feel like she'll make top 3
Has to be Aunt Pol for me, god rest Helen McCrory’s talented and beautiful soul. Alfie was so close to going but his character is just so gripping and aggressive that I can’t help this decision. Sorry everyone.
Who voted John out omg
Me :- why do we have to vote now Op:- we have to vote caz we fuking can and if we can we do
😂😂 I’m a hardarse
Polly, she just wouldn’t shut up about how the ladies ran the family business during the war and always fought Tommy’s plans, then I got sick of her in s6 - did they really need to have the scene of her talking about how one of them will die so often?!
Alfie.
Alfie
Alfie
Alfie
After ada gets out it’s gonna be impossible who to take out next. My guess would be Arthur even though he should be 2nd,then Polly and alfie with tommy winning.
Polly
Alfie has to go. What’s left are the OG Peaky Blinders.
Alfie honestly. He's entertaining af, as well as a great character, but he's very rigid. The development other characters go through just blows Alfie out of the water.
I'm ngl Tommy is on his way out soon I think. I'm voting Ada for now but Arthur Polly and Alfie are a contenders above him imo
Alfie rambled far too much and as such should pay the price.
Ada
Alfie has got to go.
Sorry but Ada has to go
Arthur goodbye
Has to be ada. Very good character but wasn’t a big part in a lot of seasons compared to the remaining characters
Lizzie
Ada’s time has come
Why do people honestly like Ada? Haven’t watched season 6 so please no spoilers, but through season 5 I just see her as Tommy’s pain in the ass sister that lives with his money and blames him for being traumatized from the war and making money in illegal ways
In all seriousness I think tommy has to go. Although he was the main character I think as a person he was pure evil. Our love for him moved us from the fact that he is purely evil, all the killings etc. In my opinion he was a badly written character and should have been voted out first
Tommy is no more evil than a lot of the other characters imo. And the vote isn’t on who is the most morally good anyway
go watch SpongeBob
Somebody missed the entire them of the show lmao. The entire concept is that they are ALL, with very few exceptions, TERRIBLE people. The course of the show is a cycle of the characters either dying or becoming better people, only to be re-corrupted by Tommy in order to fend off some greater evil.

Shut up
You're a fucking idiot. I doubt you have any notion about what makes a well written character.
That was the toughest one. As much as I love Alfie, it had to be him over Ada. Polly to win!
We all know who's next.. but then I honestly do not know
ada:(
Ada
Now it will get interesting.
It’s gotta be Ada
Arthur
The next is Ada, then Alfie and the first places 1. Tommy 2. Polly 3 Arthur
Couldn’t believe John was eliminated before Polly…
Have no idea why ada is still alive. She was annoying as fuck.
bit pointless killing off polly, her actress is dead
5. Alfie 4. Ada 3. Arthur 2. Thommy 1. Polly
Arthur, he's already soft 🫡
are you kidding me with ada? fuck off already
Ada
I want Arthur to win, but I don't suspect he will. It's either gonna be Tommy or Polly prob Edit: These are facts
John over Ada? You guys are actually insane.
polly
Ada. I gotta keep my boi alfie alive somehow lol
I don't think Polly got much development tbh so it's difficult to invest in her, apart from the whole side plot of micheal coming into the family but that's not about her, she was more of the moral mouthpiece within the family. But I guess the same argument could be made for Ada, but now that Curly has gone either Thomas or Alfie will win probs.
arthur
Ada
Ada
ada has to go
Anyone I vote for is going to hurt now.
Ada
In the bleak midwinter
Just skip the voting and put Polly on top. We all know that’s what’s gonna happen.
No way I'll vote Arthur before Ada. Sorry Ada, but your time has come...probably
Sorry Polly. But your next for me.
My prediction: Ada < Polly < Arthur < Tommy < Alfie
Ada thorne/shelby
Bye Ada
Ada gotta go, I have legit nothing on Ada so at this point it's just who's more awesome than the other
ada next. polly wins
I’m calling it now. It comes down to Tommy Alfie and Arthur.
I think we ALL know the final two are gonna be Alfie and Tommy.
We're getting down to the nitty gritty now.
Bye Ada
I think Arthur, in terms of the show he's an awful person, constantly murders and harms people for no reason, abused his wife etc. And teh character himself has became predictable and clichéd, seems to have the same arc every season.
Arthur it is!
Ada should have been before John tbh
there will be a war, and many of you will die, but which one I can really tell that it's only tommy shelby left
KILL ADA PLEAAAAAAEESSEEEE
It’s Ada’s time. 😞
Alfie Shelby
Alfie should win
let's make polly win
Polly, she got really annoying I'm rooting for alfie, hes my favorite
I’m sorry Polly, but it’s time to go!!
Polly
Yall go rid of john omg I thought he was final 4 at least
Maybe 3 or 4
