    Tywin, because his son turned out to be such a disappointment. And because he was shot dead on the toilet.

    Tough one but if someone shoots you while taking a dump you’ve clearly bean beaten by him so voting for Tyrion Lannister.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,301 ✭✭✭Vestiapx


    Tywin because he's the real power behind the throne and if his ungrateful spawn hadn't betrayed him (all of them ) he would have protected king's landing from the crazy Dragon lady.

    Tyrion, but only just.

    2 absolutely top notch characters but Tyrion stuck around that bit longer and ultimately had the greater impact.

    It's a tough one though. Charles Dance as Tywin always stands out to me as one of the most perfectly cast characters/actors I've ever seen.

    Tywin - the better Hand

    Charles Dance is excellent but I have to go with Tyrion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,921 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Tyrion. A decent chap.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    It was a tough battle, but Tyrion gets off his crossbow before Tywin gets off the toilet again and advances to the Quarter Finals. 9-7 the result.

    I'm genuinely gutted that match happened in this round and not a bit later, both deserve at least another round imo.

    Match 7:

    Penultimate match of the round (and night), and it's the People's WildCard up against a deranged bastard (quiet literally):

    The Queen of Thorns, Olenna Tyrell

    Ramsay because he's just so twisted and sinister, which made him great to watch

    Tyrion a great (book) character.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Ramsay Snow for being the biggest dick in the North.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Close call I felt more involved with the horrid Ramsay.

    Ultimately he played a more central role in the story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,790 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    As much as I like Olenna, the sick twisted part of me wants Ramsey to win this. That's where my vote goes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40 Necrina


    This is tough!!! But I'm going to go with the sneaky King slayer Olenna. The ways she revealed that she killed Joffrey to Jaime before she died was just the cherry on top!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,851 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    Ramsay a proper evil bastard, unlike Joffrey he was funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,301 ✭✭✭Vestiapx


    Mrs Peel, better TV character than Ms fit. Olenna .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,497 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Ramsay Bolton - Far superior character in my opinion. His scene with Rickon just before the Battle of the Bastards is one of my favourites. Excellent build up.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,405 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Olenna Tyrell - a perfect demonstration of how to grow old disgracefully.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,502 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Queen of Thornes in the betrayal garden evil old bat

    Olenna, she had more depth to her


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Lady Haywire


    I loved Olenna, I want to be like her when I'm old & dithery :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    Ramsay - excellent bad guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,921 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Olenna, crafty auld bat who spoke her mind

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,942 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Fabulous back and forth match this - they are tied at 7-7!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Has to be Ramsey, evil bustard


  • Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yeah I'm going to go Ramsay too.

    Olenna was good but scenes with Ramsay drew you into the show and had you looking forward to his next appearance.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,942 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Stu Redman decides this tie, Ramsay takes down the Queen of Thorns, but not without some serious support for the people's Wildcard. 9-7 the final score.

    Match 8:

    Which brings us to our final battle of this round. The Onion Knight takes on the sellsword for the final place in the last 8.

    Davos, easily one of the best characters and potential outright winner for me
