    Jorah advances to Friendzone Stage... sorry I mean Round 2. Sam still has a chance though in the second chance Showdowns.

    Melisandre as Meera and her brother are fairly yawn.

    Melisandre - Bigger influence on the overall show. Meera’s character didn’t really need to be there.

    Melisandre wasn't as much use as everyone thought she'd be, but Meera is the reason Bran made it to the end.
    And there's also the matter of how Melisandre BBQd a young girl for her stupid witch s#ite.

    I vote Meera!

    Greyworm was boring tbh, a couple of good fight scenes and a poor love plot wasn't a highlight for me.

    Walder Frey is a disgusting hateful old bollocks, reminds me of me! He gets my vote

    Walder Frey definitely one of the best of the lesser characters, who had a big impact on the story, despite less screen-time, so he gets my vote.

    Plus, what a fantastic actor.

    Walder Frey - Pivotal to one of the best scenes and also one of the best acts of revenge. Grey Worm was just an unthinking goose stepper.

    Match 18:

    Next up a side character takes on a minor character, it's an all female battle that would have actually been cool to see play out:

    The Waif

    Asha/Yara Greyjoy

    Asha because she's a much more important character in I didn't care for the Waif. Wish they hadn't changed her name for the show though.

    Two fairly poor characters to be honest, the waif was a pain in the gick, so was Yara but probably to a slight lesser extent.

    Yara to be eliminated swiftly in Rd2

    They had potential, but both were boring and pointless characters in the end. I vote for Yara, she was funny once or twice.

    The Waif, if only just for the chase etc where she was finally outdone by Arya finding her capabilities.

    Yara was a character with more to tell but felt they never did.

    Asha/Yara Greyjoy - Would probably vote against her in most other matches but The Waif is probably the worst character in the thread so far.

    Tough call, as I feel Qyburn was kind of wasted in the end, even though he was a fun addition, whereas Drogo made the Dany storyline bearable in the first season/book and it's Jason Momoa, so think I'll have to go for Karl Khal Drogo

    Qyburn, a right snake.

    Drogo a character that big chaps will be keeping in the memory by replicating for many a fancy dress party to come.

    Qyburn for me.

    Qyburn for resurrecting the mutant mountain.
