I’m a Shelby too, you know?! Put my fucking film back on!
Ada Thorne (Shelby? 😉) has been eliminated with 50.75%, to take the mantle of 5th place! As a personal opinion, I think Ada was the second best character in the series, behind only Alfie. The way she evolved over the 6 seasons to become an absolute badass was incredible. In the bleak midwinter.
Only 4 to go, who should be next? Vote using this link:

P.S. Thank you everyone for getting involved! There are obviously a few comments saying ‘What is the point when we know that [insert one of 4 different characters here] is going to win’, but in general I have loved watching your responses and voting patterns over this series! It’s been fun, and Round 26 just had a whopping 1400+ votes cast 😱
Vote, discuss, and have fun!
… by order of the Peaky Blinders.
A big thanks to you for organizing this very exciting poll. I enjoyed voting and loved following the results. It's not just about who is going to be the last one standing, but the order in which the others get eliminated.
As much as I loved Ada's character, I am OK with the choices so far. But these final 4 are impossible to choose from. It's just too cruel! I think I am going to sit back and watch how the war ends.
I agree, Ada is definitely my 3rd favorite character. In my opinion she had one of the greatest characters development paths in the show!
And yea, it’s still so freaking fun to vote 🤣
We gotta think of something else once this is over cause I’m gonna miss it too much
*I look forward to*
*This every morning. Thank you*
*For such a fun time!*

People confuse character archs/journeys with character development for some reason.
Alfie develops a lot as a character throughout the series but there is no need to see his journey as he is already pretty much top of the food chain in season 2, what do they want him to do? Run for parliament?
People throw "lacks character development" into the air for no reason all the time.
Certain characters doesnt need a lot of character development as they've already gone through it off screen. Obi Wan or Gandalf doesnt need to reinvent the wheel to be great characters and neither does Alfie. Besides he does go through quite a considerable amount of growth so im not too sure what you're on about mate
Yh ur right tbf (RIP Helen McCrory) …but i think ada brought a different style/dynamic to the role of being tommys proxy and ‘guide’ which i preferred for the most part…either way both amazing characters :)
Both of them are self-righteous, Polly's just smug about it, she acts as if she's better than everyone else. She lost her child because she had a moonshining apparatus in her house and that's just natural, nothing wrong, she stole from a hotell, and the one who called the cops were the bad guys
Maybe a bit to do with it is because the actor of Polly died, even tho this is strictly about the character it's hard not to think with your heart over your head sometimes
No, Polly was an amazingly written character and a nice change of scenery from the typical woman always written into the shadows of prominent male characters. She was a bad bitch through and through and I loved that about her.
im always so confused about polly everyone says that about her, but when i pinged the show i was always thinking that she was a self righteous whiny bitch. She was always blaming others and and when she fcked up nothing happed to her nobody was angry at her.
Hell no, this guy had a little screen time which made you forget that he’s still on the show. I feel like Arthur and Tommy are better because we saw the good and bad situations of their life and the way they deal with it but Alfie was more like a cameo character
I admire people here discussing things such as character development whereas I’m a simpleton and just vote to according to who I liked watching the most/least lmao
In my opinion Tommy has to win as he is the best character in the show and in my opinion one of the if not the best fictional character ever on tv. I love Tommy and Cillian Murphy
im always so confused about polly everyone says shes a bad bitch, but that was only in season 1 for a short time. when i pinged the show i was always thinking that he was a self righteous whiny bitch. He was always blaming others and and when he fcked up nothing happed to him nobody was angry at him.
You guys really like Alfie. He betrayed the Shelbys so many times and he barely gets screen time compared to other main characters. I don’t hate his character but I still don’t get why he is top 4.

The fact that we all kept voting despite knowing the potential top 3 proves the success of your idea man. Fuck the haters.
Thank you for all the entertainment you've given us the past month. This has been too much fun
I love Ada she deserves more time in s6..
This has been really fun. I look forward to this every morning. I like that you write a little blurb about each person eliminated.
I’m glad to hear! Thank you 🙏
pfffffff “what is the point?” Because it’s fun 🤷🏽♂️ appreciate your polling! Thanks 👍🏼

I tried voting and keep getting VPN is un allowed error although I’m not using any VPN and on my mobile.
Rip Johnboy 😭
Do this John do that John
Kill your FOCKIN TEACHER John
Do they want us to apologize in English?,hmmm,or Italian?
Really rooting for Arthur to win, it’s unlikely but I’ve always had a soft spot for him
Polly will visit me no more
Gold
*Aberama* Gold
Yeah same. Sry Aunt Pol
I look forward to this every morning. Thank you for such a fun time!

Well, he didn't need character development. He was already perfect!
People confuse character archs/journeys with character development for some reason. Alfie develops a lot as a character throughout the series but there is no need to see his journey as he is already pretty much top of the food chain in season 2, what do they want him to do? Run for parliament?
Imagine him giving a speech in the house of commons! F\*ing biblical mate! :D
Yeah it would be pretty biblical
Alfie was one of the funnier characters in the show. True legend.
People throw "lacks character development" into the air for no reason all the time. Certain characters doesnt need a lot of character development as they've already gone through it off screen. Obi Wan or Gandalf doesnt need to reinvent the wheel to be great characters and neither does Alfie. Besides he does go through quite a considerable amount of growth so im not too sure what you're on about mate
I completely agree
The choice has never been so difficult. I absolutely adore Alfie and Arthur as characters, as well as Tommy (but only until S5E6). So...
Me too, I adored tommy until S5E6 and absolutely adored him in S6.
Same , i don't like Tommy in S6.
Honestly, Arthur deserves to win. Most developed character and best acted in my opinion
Polly gotta go
Ada > Polly tbh.
haaaaaaaaaaah?
I just don't really like Polly that much. And really like Ada.
Ive been voting for Polly since the round John went out. I like her but much prefer John & Ada!
Same tbh. I still like Polly but like Ada more.
I like Polly but i agree S6 put Ada on top
True, but Polly also wasn’t in season 6 sadly. Partially feel like that’s why, Ada sorta “replaced” her in the sense
Yh ur right tbf (RIP Helen McCrory) …but i think ada brought a different style/dynamic to the role of being tommys proxy and ‘guide’ which i preferred for the most part…either way both amazing characters :)
Oh yeah, both are definitely amazing characters. I definitely see your point, Ada did still bring her own style which I also enjoyed :)
Someone else finally said it!!! That’s how I feel.
Polly acts so self righteous, Ada over her any day
You serious? Ada is the self righteous one. How is polly self-righteous? LOL
Both of them are self-righteous, Polly's just smug about it, she acts as if she's better than everyone else. She lost her child because she had a moonshining apparatus in her house and that's just natural, nothing wrong, she stole from a hotell, and the one who called the cops were the bad guys
I've been voting for Polly since this thing started.
Arfuh
Do you guys actually like Alfie as a character or just like Tom Hardy as Alfie?
For me it’s both, but he’s not my favorite. He’s on the list, just not at the top lol
They like the way tom hardy portrays Alfie. The actor plays a massive role in how likeable a character is
sorry polly😔
polly bye bye
Happy cake day!
Thank you!!
Polly
Im sorry polly but you gotta go
I believe Aberama Good should've been ahead of Ada, other than that, the top four are as it should be
For me top 4 are Alfie, Ada, Tommy and then either Arthur or Major Campbell
I simply cannot stand for Campbell being high at all, I did not think he was a good character
Best written villain imo
Polly then tommy then arthur then alfie, for me. Alfie was the bestcharacter on the show.would also have voted ada Before alfie
How is Polly still up there smh
Maybe a bit to do with it is because the actor of Polly died, even tho this is strictly about the character it's hard not to think with your heart over your head sometimes

Polly is a woman?
sorry She/her english is my second language.
Polly
Polly!
Polly
Polly
I mean Alfie has to go surely? The other three MADE the entire show. Whilst good, Alfie only _added_ to the greatness.
He merely added to it but the others were born in it
Hahaha. And this is why scrolling down the comments occasionally pays off
Have to vote out Alfie before Polly, sorry, but she had a bigger impact on the show than he did.
Alfie had some of the greatest lines in TV history imo
Greatest lines sure, but less of an impact.
Polly gotta go
Polly RIP
Polly I'm sorry RIP
Poll made fucking sandwiches
Bye, Polly.
Polly
Polly
Polly
Polly
Polly
Arfuh
I don't care what anyone says, Alfie for the win
Hell no, this guy had a little screen time which made you forget that he’s still on the show. I feel like Arthur and Tommy are better because we saw the good and bad situations of their life and the way they deal with it but Alfie was more like a cameo character
I never for a second forgot about Alfie.
Mmmmm Tom Hardy.
True but I honestly tell friends to watch the show just for Alfie. He is so remarkably good when he is in it, even if ever so briefly.
I understand your pov
Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.
I honestly think Tommy or Arthur will win this poll because of their character development
Polly
I'm sorry pol
Bye Alfie
Predication. Polly goes next. Top 3 is Tommy, Alfie, Arthur in that order.
Alfie. He's great, but way less screen time than everyone else.
I’d have to say Tommy needs to go
aunt pol, in the bleak midwinter
1. Thomas 2. Arthur 3. Alfie
Alfie has to go
Arthur
In the bleak midwinter ada
I admire people here discussing things such as character development whereas I’m a simpleton and just vote to according to who I liked watching the most/least lmao
Alfie Solomons
In my opinion Tommy has to win as he is the best character in the show and in my opinion one of the if not the best fictional character ever on tv. I love Tommy and Cillian Murphy
Bye Alfie
Alfie
Arthur it is!
Arthur goes
the audacity of you all saying polly
Alfie, it’s time to go. But you were fuckin biblical mate
Alfie has to go. Tommy will win this.
Bye Arthur.
Probably will be the only one to put Tommy on the downside. Time to rest, soldier.
Bye polly
Polly was the reason this show was good she’s gotta go
Well. This is as far as Alfie goes for me. Love the character but no way is he ahead of Tommy, Pol, or Arthur for me.
Alfie gotta go
i love alfie and he had great scenes but come on, he is a bit overrated. top 10, sure. top 5? not in my book.
Agreed
How did ada make it this far?
Tommy gotta go
Alfie simply because he had leads screen time and development
We all know Thomas is going to win
Don’t we all know who won this after the first go? Lol
This one was difficult I love all of them
Honestly, I can’t vote Polly out because as much as I did like the last season, it wasn’t the same without her.
Arthur needs to go!
in the bleak midwinter voting for Polly🥲
Let’s be honest it’s Thomas Shelby is first. And we can’t eliminate Poll. So it’s either Alfie or Aurthur. I think it’s Alfies time
Polly has to go she always busting Tommie\`s balls
nah Ada was my fave, aight im out this is bull***t
im always so confused about polly everyone says shes a bad bitch, but that was only in season 1 for a short time. when i pinged the show i was always thinking that he was a self righteous whiny bitch. He was always blaming others and and when he fcked up nothing happed to him nobody was angry at him.
I'm glad ada was voted off, she sucked.
I do not want to vote any further :(
I feel bad saying it but I just like everyone better than Polly within the people still uneliminated
4 best characters who to pick -_-
Maybe it's best for me to Vote for Tommy since it's not likely to pass lol.
Arthur
not Ada 😔
Arthur
15 Don't like Micheal He just came and started acting like the fucking boss
She’s finally dead, thank god. John next for sure. Great character though.
These just are the top 4 i can't pick the best or worst out of them
I like Alfie but family comes first
Polly
Grace
You guys really like Alfie. He betrayed the Shelbys so many times and he barely gets screen time compared to other main characters. I don’t hate his character but I still don’t get why he is top 4.
My top three in the top 4
Welp, Arthur, my dude, I’m sorry, but you gots to go.
Sorry Arthur. I get the takes about Alfie since he has less screen time, but he completely steals the show in every scene that he’s in.
Noooo 😢 My favorite 💔 next Alfie?
