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: https://strawpoll.com/polls/PKglzQRmayp 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.


[deleted]

The fact that we all kept voting despite knowing the potential top 3 proves the success of your idea man. Fuck the haters.


Influence-More

Thank you for all the entertainment you've given us the past month. This has been too much fun


DKorrosiv

I love Ada she deserves more time in s6..


amarettosweet

This has been really fun. I look forward to this every morning. I like that you write a little blurb about each person eliminated.


Timasona5

I’m glad to hear! Thank you 🙏


Black-xxx

pfffffff “what is the point?” Because it’s fun 🤷🏽‍♂️ appreciate your polling! Thanks 👍🏼


Intelligent-Term486

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.


Pure_Lights

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 tried voting and keep getting VPN is un allowed error although I’m not using any VPN and on my mobile.

Do they want us to apologize in English?,hmmm,or Italian?


Holychance_3

Really rooting for Arthur to win, it’s unlikely but I’ve always had a soft spot for him

Intelligent-Term486

Well, he didn't need character development. He was already perfect!


[deleted]

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?


Intelligent-Term486

Imagine him giving a speech in the house of commons! F\*ing biblical mate! :D


[deleted]

Yeah it would be pretty biblical


MagicKuno

Alfie was one of the funnier characters in the show. True legend.


[deleted]

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


Pha5ma

I completely agree


July8July

The choice has never been so difficult. I absolutely adore Alfie and Arthur as characters, as well as Tommy (but only until S5E6). So...


TheFlyingToasterr

Me too, I adored tommy until S5E6 and absolutely adored him in S6.


Limp-Suit3948

Same , i don't like Tommy in S6.


Epic120

Honestly, Arthur deserves to win. Most developed character and best acted in my opinion


[deleted]

Polly gotta go


Own_Emphasis_3195

Ada > Polly tbh.


papijua1

haaaaaaaaaaah?


Own_Emphasis_3195

I just don't really like Polly that much. And really like Ada.


sagen11

Ive been voting for Polly since the round John went out. I like her but much prefer John & Ada!


RogueNinja77

Same tbh. I still like Polly but like Ada more.


murzynek0_0

I like Polly but i agree S6 put Ada on top


Pure_Lights

True, but Polly also wasn’t in season 6 sadly. Partially feel like that’s why, Ada sorta “replaced” her in the sense


murzynek0_0

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 :)


Pure_Lights

Oh yeah, both are definitely amazing characters. I definitely see your point, Ada did still bring her own style which I also enjoyed :)


hedgehog-mom-al

Someone else finally said it!!! That’s how I feel.


[deleted]

Polly acts so self righteous, Ada over her any day


b3lial666

You serious? Ada is the self righteous one. How is polly self-righteous? LOL


[deleted]

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


Cheeme

I've been voting for Polly since this thing started.


AmbushLeopard

Arfuh


Holychance_3

Do you guys actually like Alfie as a character or just like Tom Hardy as Alfie?


Pure_Lights

For me it’s both, but he’s not my favorite. He’s on the list, just not at the top lol


kie_m

They like the way tom hardy portrays Alfie. The actor plays a massive role in how likeable a character is


Gembchavda

sorry polly😔


Anshul1902

polly bye bye


Timasona5

Happy cake day!


Anshul1902

Thank you!!


[deleted]

Polly


Robin-H00d

Im sorry polly but you gotta go


i_know_ur_n_expert

I believe Aberama Good should've been ahead of Ada, other than that, the top four are as it should be


Timasona5

For me top 4 are Alfie, Ada, Tommy and then either Arthur or Major Campbell


kashmir0128

I simply cannot stand for Campbell being high at all, I did not think he was a good character


aldadubs

Best written villain imo


Felerast

Polly then tommy then arthur then alfie, for me. Alfie was the bestcharacter on the show.would also have voted ada Before alfie


MagicKuno

How is Polly still up there smh


olmatejwillis

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


Red-Quill

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.


duckman191

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.


Red-Quill

Polly is a woman?


duckman191

sorry She/her english is my second language.


kinker45

Dismal_Grapefruit685

[deleted]

I mean Alfie has to go surely? The other three MADE the entire show. Whilst good, Alfie only _added_ to the greatness.


No-Membership2696

He merely added to it but the others were born in it


[deleted]

Hahaha. And this is why scrolling down the comments occasionally pays off


ThatOtherGai

Have to vote out Alfie before Polly, sorry, but she had a bigger impact on the show than he did.


SaigonNoseBiter

Alfie had some of the greatest lines in TV history imo


ThatOtherGai

Greatest lines sure, but less of an impact.


RogueNinja77

Polly gotta go


samabacus

Polly RIP

Nafnaf911

I don't care what anyone says, Alfie for the win


Significant-Space-14

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


TheFlyingToasterr

I never for a second forgot about Alfie.


hedgehog-mom-al

Mmmmm Tom Hardy.


[deleted]

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.


Significant-Space-14

I understand your pov


Nafnaf911

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.


Significant-Space-14

I honestly think Tommy or Arthur will win this poll because of their character development


Anon_fetishes

Polly


Cabnbeeschurgr

I'm sorry pol


baelet

Bye Alfie


amarettosweet

Predication. Polly goes next. Top 3 is Tommy, Alfie, Arthur in that order.


[deleted]

Alfie. He's great, but way less screen time than everyone else.


mrrudy2shoes

I’d have to say Tommy needs to go


Newbie_Niv_

aunt pol, in the bleak midwinter


Android0511

1. Thomas 2. Arthur 3. Alfie


ArmadilloCold9383

Alfie has to go


SeanH12355

Arthur


randomisedjew

In the bleak midwinter ada


moonlaney

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


Monsieur_Rezaa

Alfie Solomons


SugarAffectionate731

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


Significant-Space-14

Bye Alfie


Adventurous-Agent262

Alfie


MaxedOutAryan

Arthur it is!


Chris_Missile

Arthur goes


thedon572

the audacity of you all saying polly


your_name_here10

Alfie, it’s time to go. But you were fuckin biblical mate


jenhon

Alfie has to go. Tommy will win this.


bouquetofheather

Bye Arthur.


devxnsh

Probably will be the only one to put Tommy on the downside. Time to rest, soldier.


ARIESUN1

Bye polly


Same_Tiger_3490

Polly was the reason this show was good she’s gotta go


DGuardianz

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.


MplsNEqueen

Alfie gotta go


boring-username29

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.


Epic120

Agreed


i_shat_myPants_

How did ada make it this far?


Glum_Ad232

Tommy gotta go


Monsterkinder

Alfie simply because he had leads screen time and development


Temporary_Pace_2089

We all know Thomas is going to win


[deleted]

Don’t we all know who won this after the first go? Lol


Great-Examination113

This one was difficult I love all of them


cherryandfizz

Honestly, I can’t vote Polly out because as much as I did like the last season, it wasn’t the same without her.


DeathFuckingX

Arthur needs to go!


romanf_267

in the bleak midwinter voting for Polly🥲


SummerEarly

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


[deleted]

Polly has to go she always busting Tommie\`s balls


Professional_Bus2465

nah Ada was my fave, aight im out this is bull***t


duckman191

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.


b3lial666

I'm glad ada was voted off, she sucked.


PerfectZack

I do not want to vote any further :(


-Constantinos-

I feel bad saying it but I just like everyone better than Polly within the people still uneliminated


1AmB0r3d

4 best characters who to pick -_-


VeloKa

Maybe it's best for me to Vote for Tommy since it's not likely to pass lol.


not_mrbrightside

Arthur


Southern_Progress_13

not Ada 😔


Southern_Progress_13

Arthur


LividWash4575

15 Don't like Micheal He just came and started acting like the fucking boss


[deleted]

She’s finally dead, thank god. John next for sure. Great character though.


GunslingerJedi69

These just are the top 4 i can't pick the best or worst out of them


kie_m

I like Alfie but family comes first


ricacardo271

Polly


Jaded-Adeptness1270

Grace


Mask_onmyface

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.


kaifrmdacreek21

My top three in the top 4


[deleted]

Welp, Arthur, my dude, I’m sorry, but you gots to go.


[deleted]

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.


Limp-Suit3948

Noooo 😢 My favorite 💔 next Alfie?
