While I disagree that Merry is either bland or mediocre, I do agree that bland and mediocre characters are bad for the ratings. And so I shall vote today for one of the blandest and most mediocre of them all.

+ + ALF THE PRENTICE, KING OF FAERIE

I have no conception of what Alf was actually like. For one of the central characters in his tale, this is not a good thing at all. My only impression of him is that he was a goody-two-shoes (the worst kind of reality show contestant - no fun whatsoever) and that his wife took to embarassing him by flirting with strangers in his land. Neither quality recommends him to me.

But Bęth, you voted for Merry ...
