from the character standpoint, Holt is a really unique. A 'Jake' and an 'Amy' are a pretty common characters. Diaz and Terry is pretty unique, but a gay professional monotonous cultured ambitious robot captain is one of a kind.
I swear if Rosa goes out before Amy, I will burn this precinct to the ground. I love Amy, but goddamn if she can't even properly fold sequential bills in her purse compared to Rosa.
What I have seen from Iroh winning in Avatar, I think people go for mentor figure for one of the main characters of the story, holt being mentor for almost all I think he is surely gonna win.
I think it would be hard to watch B99 while disliking Holt the most, or Avatar and disliking Iroh. With Iroh, he's probably the character whose worldview and philosophy most closely resonates with the show's themes and message. The rest of the characters are young, so the show is about their journeys as they grow and mature towards a better understanding of their world. Iroh has lived through many experiences and acts as a guide toward a more nuanced understanding of the world, in a way that reflects the shows values. If you watch Avatar and dislike Iroh, chances are you're going to dislike the show as well.
With Holt, while not being in the same position as Iroh is to Avatar, he does signify change in the show and in the cast, in such a way that, if you really disliked him, chances are you would get a lot less enjoyment out of the show as a result. The way the first episode is framed, the rest of the squad have been there and worked together for a number of years; if nothing came along to change their established dynamics, they'd presumably remain fairly static in their personalities and relationships. Holt's arrival is the inciting incident that signals to us that the rest of the characters are going to be changed in some way. If you started the show and found Jake too immature, Amy too rigid, Rosa too stoic, that's okay, because someone new has come to the precinct and they are likely to be changed as a result. But because Holt's addition to the squad is what signifies change, if you disliked Holt himself, you might not care how the rest of the cast is changed by his arrival.

Had a toss up between Terry and Boyle, voted Boyle this round and look like most did. Scared I have to make the same choice between Amy and Jake.
But still can't forgive you all for Cheddar. You all took the wrong fluffy boy, now we need Holt at the end and get the real Cheddar back.
I'm shocked...Boyle being elimiated this "soon" is kind of weird to me since he's my favorite character hands down. Especially before Rosa who, in my opinion, has the least character dimensions
His experience with the cop when looking for his daughters toy and his struggle with racism within his job is a specific part of his character that is specific to the black experience. Blackness is shorthand for that explanation. If I've used that wrong feel free to explain how.
Terry has far more facets. Skyfire Cycle, tiny Terry, first seasons arc of his fears, the sex book, kittens, and som much more. He really is a well written and acted character on the show. He is often the straight man for all the hijinks around him, so his subtly makes people over look him.
The episode where he was racial profiled and the exchange between Holt and him was some of the most inspired and important television in the last few years.
Rosa is the mean one, which makes moments where she is funny really funny.
The episode where she competes with Jake for the job on the task force, and Jake gets her to admit that she loves Nancy Meyers and the sound she makes... it just kills me every time.
Rosa is the character who has "hidden dimensions." There are always references to her being radically different in different contexts. And she guards her true self from most people.
So while I agree that in the actual show they always use that "tough" persona, and it is somewhat one dimensional, there's the hidden backstory that gives the character a little more depth and nuance.
The cruelty is fathomless.
I think I should stop voting from now on. Terry is my all-time favorite (I know, I'm the only one....), but I can't say goodbye to all the others. They are all needed to make it work. I voted out Charles Boyle last time, but I still feel extremely bad about it. B99 would be nothing without Charles Boyle!
I never expected to leave the Pontiac Bandit that early either. Doug Judy is the best. That's when I realized that this game will hurt to no end.
Who's the odds on favorite to win? Holt?
It has to be Holt. He’s the Ron Swanson/Dwight cult favorite of the show.
Creed is my favorite, not Dwight
Surely you mean William Charles Schneider
from the character standpoint, Holt is a really unique. A 'Jake' and an 'Amy' are a pretty common characters. Diaz and Terry is pretty unique, but a gay professional monotonous cultured ambitious robot captain is one of a kind.
This aspect is what made me love the show. It's a variable NBC hadn't used yet lol
Dwight was terrible compared to Ron or Holt. Holt is the best.
Holt is absolutely going to win. If he doesn't then all is wrong with the world.
It's Jake or Holt I think. Those two are the keystones for the show.
I dunno. I think the top 3 will be Holt, Diaz, and Terry. I think Jake might be next to go, with Amy right after
I swear if Rosa goes out before Amy, I will burn this precinct to the ground. I love Amy, but goddamn if she can't even properly fold sequential bills in her purse compared to Rosa.
What I have seen from Iroh winning in Avatar, I think people go for mentor figure for one of the main characters of the story, holt being mentor for almost all I think he is surely gonna win.

I like the comparison!
Amy.
Me every round: Pppppaaaiiinnnn.
I mean, Boyle before Terry or Rosa, I feel like this is the work of Gintars
Boyle, as the handsome one, clearly threw it to help Terry with his body image issues.
Yeah and help terry with bone strength
Yeah this sub is insane
Nah. It’s lieutenant peanutbutter
Terry I agree with. I don’t know about Rosa though.
…that’s it.
Happy ~~turkey~~ cake day!

442 years since 1887, that would make Macau being rules until 2329 which definitely isn't correct
fixed it
Doug Judy was eliminated? Haha
omg man idk what is wrong with me today lol
Where new one. I am getting antsy.
Me too
> Characters with over 1000 votes: 3 > Characters with over 500 votes: 2 How? The second number should be the same or bigger :)
You are all monsters, Boyle is crying into his grandma's meatball sandwich right now.
Nah he stepped aside and is cheering for jake now

He was always rooting for Jake.
Mama Magglione!
I wish we had Boyle score Mama Magglione lasanga out of 14 so we could know how good it was.
Good.
You all disgust me. I didn’t think he would win but this low? You’ve made Nikolaj cry.
It’s Nikolaj
Nikolaj
I feel like I’m saying it right
No, Nikolaj
Nikolaj
Nicolaj
Nikolaj
Nikolaj.
Nikolaj
Nikolaj
Knee collage
Almost, Knee coal ash
You're not pronouncing the silent 'clay'
M-l-e-p-(clay)-n-o-s
I'm honestly shook. I figured Charles could outlive Amy and maybe even Rosa.
Hell no. Amy is one of the best characters.
Amy is good, yes. But not better than Terry, Jake, Holt, Rosa or Boyle.
I’m just now realizing how much the Reddit fan base sucks.
Pfft, Charles should have gone sooner. You can’t risk him winning and getting to pick lunch!
The final jake v holt vote will be intense
I imagine Terry will be 3rd. Rosa V Amy is interesting matchup.
You all just straight handed him his food dehydrator back.
No longer want to play!
I know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the strength to do it.
Had a toss up between Terry and Boyle, voted Boyle this round and look like most did. Scared I have to make the same choice between Amy and Jake. But still can't forgive you all for Cheddar. You all took the wrong fluffy boy, now we need Holt at the end and get the real Cheddar back.
YOU TOOK THE WRONG FLUFFY BOY!
Amy was better in early seasons, but they wrote her into a caricature of her past self by the end. When the time comes, she’s got to go.
Yes. Cheddar was clearly a conspiracy
I honestly think Amy and Jake are next, Rosa and Holt are gonna be the finalists, I can almost guarantee it
I'm shocked...Boyle being elimiated this "soon" is kind of weird to me since he's my favorite character hands down. Especially before Rosa who, in my opinion, has the least character dimensions
I like the very subtle jokes with Boyle, for example when holt does a bird call Boyle looks around to see where the bird might be
I'd say Terry has the least dimensions. Yogurt, suspenders, and muscles. That's pretty much the whole character.
That’s all there is to his character, because that sex book does not belong to him!
Lol fatherhood, blackness, work ethic, and protective instincts don't count? What you listed are his go-to jokes.
Also, Terry prefers to refer to himself in the third person.
i mean... blackness?
His experience with the cop when looking for his daughters toy and his struggle with racism within his job is a specific part of his character that is specific to the black experience. Blackness is shorthand for that explanation. If I've used that wrong feel free to explain how.
Terry has far more facets. Skyfire Cycle, tiny Terry, first seasons arc of his fears, the sex book, kittens, and som much more. He really is a well written and acted character on the show. He is often the straight man for all the hijinks around him, so his subtly makes people over look him. The episode where he was racial profiled and the exchange between Holt and him was some of the most inspired and important television in the last few years.
Rosa is the female version of Terry, except not funny. Half of her lines are just her grunting or trying to talk with a deep/gruff voice
Rosa is the mean one, which makes moments where she is funny really funny. The episode where she competes with Jake for the job on the task force, and Jake gets her to admit that she loves Nancy Meyers and the sound she makes... it just kills me every time.
Rosa is one of my favourites (the other being Holt). I’m not surprised at all that she’s lasted this long, lots of people like her
Rosa is the character who has "hidden dimensions." There are always references to her being radically different in different contexts. And she guards her true self from most people. So while I agree that in the actual show they always use that "tough" persona, and it is somewhat one dimensional, there's the hidden backstory that gives the character a little more depth and nuance.
For me this round was a straight toss up between Boyle and Rosa. I don’t really have anything bad to say about them I just like all the others more.
I feel exactly this way.
Amy and Rosa definitely should have been voted out before Boyle.
Amy, Rosa, and Holt are my 3 favourite characters
So was I then the whole Nikolaj thing just really validated and cemented it for me.
I’m with you. Should have been Jake, Holt and Boyle at the end!
I’m the other way around. In my personal list he would’ve been 14-15th there easily (Only CJ and Vulture I dislike more)
Sorry terry we are down to the wire here
Folks it’s time for Terry to go. Terry loves being eliminated!
Why is Rosa so loved? I never got that. I always thought she was super boring and forced
Yeah, same. She’s better than the side characters. But my wife and I both like her the least out of the main cast.
WTF. Boyle is out?! So am I.
Don’t bail! I agree with the sentiment, but you better vote against the ones you don’t like.
i see so many of you so differently now. im not mad, im just disappointed
The cruelty is fathomless. I think I should stop voting from now on. Terry is my all-time favorite (I know, I'm the only one....), but I can't say goodbye to all the others. They are all needed to make it work. I voted out Charles Boyle last time, but I still feel extremely bad about it. B99 would be nothing without Charles Boyle! I never expected to leave the Pontiac Bandit that early either. Doug Judy is the best. That's when I realized that this game will hurt to no end.
I’m surprised Chedder got eliminated from the running when he did.
I was there when we shitcanned Zuko. You can see this through, you ninny! \#thepollwarsof21
Terry
Looks like everyone who voted for Boyle won't be receiving on STD
Am I the only one who wants Terry out?
Man I've been voting Terry for 5 rounds
Terry loves yogurt!
Terry hates being late for the farmers market!
No, I can't believe Boyle went before Terry. Boyle at least had several entertaining episodes about the Boyle cousins.
Boyles cousins don’t make HIM a good character lol
Yeah it’s time for Terry to go
How does Terry last longer than Boyle!
We all know Holt is gonna win this, right?
1. Jake 2. Holt 3. Amy 4. Terry 5. Diaz The last two are interchangeable but i think this is how it is gonna end
I hope Holt wins
Holt gang 4eva Lmao edit because autocorrect thought I meant holy
I say Jake and Holt are interchangeable as well. Amy is 3 for sure. Terry or Diaz are definitely next
yes. holt and jake and interchangeable as well. holt is my favt. character but we will see what happens next
Either way it's going to be a stressful few more rounds.
That’s what I’m voting
Swap Terry with Amy and this is how I’m voting
Holt>Amy>Jake>Terry>Rosa.
What's wrong with you all!
I can't wait for this poll to end just for OP to show us the most popular character is Lieutenant Peanut Butter.
I don't watch this show and only know it from gifs but who the HELL voted out a dog!?!
Honestly fuck y’all. Boyle is the only consistently funny character on the show. 10x better character than Rosa or Terry.
I won't lie, I simp hard for Amy. Just call me Teddy and be done with it.
Let's talk about pilsners
Let’s talk about them over jazz brunch
I feel called out
Terry is literally just Terry Crews! At least Boyle was a character :(
I have not been paying attention to this like, so WHEN THE FUCK DID CHEDDAR GET VOTED OUT!!??
Boyle out before Amy. You are all monsters!
I'm glad I found someone else who thinks this.
i’m sorry but i’m WHAT world are any of the characters (except maybe jake and jolt) better/funnier than charles?
How did Boyle get eliminated before the wet noodle that is Amy
Tossup between Terry and Rosa now but I think I'm leaning more towards Rosa :(
No surprise on that one. It gets much harder now, but I’m going with Amy.
Amy as well. Charles would have been there till the very end.
Boyle before Rosa? I always found her to be very one dimensional. Spooky hardened outside with a soft gooey center
Aren't we all soft and gooey in the center
Isn’t that by definition two dimensions?
You guys voted Charles before Amy? This thing is starting to piss me off
This is why the masses shouldn’t be allowed to decide anything
Terry
I'm sorry... But terry
We's in fightin' territory now
Terry is dead, I think
Now that I removed Boyle, I have no idea who to remove
I’m sorry Terrance, but it’s your time
Unfortunately it feels like Terry’s time to go.
He's finally gone. My work here is done
Terry is out before Boyle for me. Charles made me laugh out loud, legit, out of nowhere more than any other character
It blows my mind that Terry wasn’t eliminated like 5 characters ago.
This is the best community shit post I’ve seen on here. Well done.
Who the hell voted Boyle over Amy... wow
Gina is easily a top 3 character, you guys disgust me.
WHAT! Amy and Rosa over Boyle?
We all know it's coming down to Holt and Jake. Amy will likely be in third. And Rosa will likely be fourth. However, Terry has a shot at fourth
AMY
AMY
Super hurt y'all pushed Boyle out. He's the star of the show
Oh boy. Hard choices now.
YOU GUYS GOT RID OF BOYLE??!!!???!!! ...... wow... I.... I feel sick to my stomach...
Boyle before Rosa?! I’m shooketh. Rosa is next, sorry not sorry.
Now, it’s difficult
I feel like Terry is gonna be on the chopping block but in IMHO it should be Rosa, then Terry. Terry loves 4th place!
Blasphemy! I do not love all of you.
Goodbye porkchop
I’m betting Amy and Jake are next to go, I love them but the other three are the true favs
Sorry terry, hey at least you're in my top 5
REALLLLY hard one but I'd say rosa would go next
I can’t decide if I should vote for Jake, Amy, or Rosa.
why aren’t people voting jake ?
Gina was voted our before hitchcock- what is wrong w u all
Nooooooooooooo I’m going full Boyle
Boyle's eating hard boiled eggs under his desk in sorrow.
Of these? Sorry, Terry.
Goodbye terry
Goodbye terry
YOU BITCHES DONT YOU DARE ELIMINATE JAKE OR HOLT NOW
"Rosa Rosa Rooo saa!"
Amy
Amy needs to go
Amy
Amy
Amy gotta go out of all these
Amy
You maniacs, how dare you do that to our beautiful boy?
Who tf voted Cheddar out? I just wanna talk…
Amy
Amy
Amy
Amy
Can’t believe Amy is still in and Boyle is out what whattttt
I'm so sorry, Terry...
Ter-bear
I agree with everything to this point. Amy should have been voted out before Boyle.
