Behind the Scenes: A Quick Audience Poll

The Show-runner

So, as I begin to approach actually writing out the final challenge scenes, I am having to begin to make some decisions about how things go at the end. With today's publication push, I have (obvious spoiler for another obvious spoiler) introduced our final harem member.

So, the question I have is: how many of them should survive?

I have a simple poll below to help you influence my decisions. Some notes before you vote. As you might recall from the endgame challenge announcement, the endgame will consist of individual bespoke challenges for each of the contestants, followed by a challenge for Harper. So, yes, if you want me to be a super big bummer (and throw out my post-season plans), you could argue for a total party wipe. If you want to argue for just one to fall, you can do that too. The non-contestant harem members are also eligible for elimination (Glitterdust, Honey, and the one to be added), though setting that up may be a little more difficult.

And I expect you to argue for an elimination. If you vote "Yes" in the poll, I need to hear who should be eliminated and why. There are three ways to do so:

• I enabled commented on the poll page (first time for me to play with that). You can leave your argument there.
• You can comment on this page.
• If you wish to comment privately, you can use the message function of the site. Click the messages button to open the messages menu, clicking the start new message button. Sorry about my random string of characters handle. While the system won't let me select myself as a recipient, I bet you can find me by searching "4og".

I will not be particularly paying attention to the number of "Yes" votes. I will be paying attention to the number of comments about who should be eliminated and the convincing nature of the arguments.

So, make your voices heard.
