Here are my choices: **Jim Henson Division** -Kermit the Frog (Come on! He’s THE CLASSIC!) -Grover (Neither of these two give me much to choose between them) **Frank Oz Division** -Cookie Monster (COOKIIIIEEEESSS!!!) -Ernie (Cookies in bed!) **Dave Goelz Division** -Statler and Waldorf (Snarkiness FTW!) -Count von Count (TWO! MWAHAHAHAHAHH! _KRAKABOOM_) **Richard Hunt Division** -Miss Piggy (No contest) -Bert (Can’t leave Ernie without Bert! Besides, leave Bert behind and HE’LL KILL YOU! He’s evil, you know) Just my 2 eurocent! ---

BTW, I am making a list of everyone who votes against Sam The Eagle. This is America, so you have the freedom to vote against him if you want. Just don’t be on the list if you want to fly in the near future. ---

Just don’t be on the list if you want to fly in the near future. [/QUOTE] Unlike **Taber** , and Sam the Eagle, I wish to say that I, and The Swedish Chef, will not indulge in any sort of punishment for those people who might prefer Kermit over him. Of course, he has also authorized me to pass on a promise that anyone who does vote for The Swedish Chef will be guaranteed to never have a visit from him to a guest cooking episode in their very own kitchen. 😉 ---

This thread has inspired me to download seasons 1-3 of the muppet show. I’m watching the pilot for the first time…and it’s interesting. Kermit only had one line, and it was a pickup line “I might be able to get you a job on an educational show for kids” Jim Henson Division vs 4. The Swedish Chef vs 6. Dr. Teeth Frank Oz Division vs 5. Animal vs 3. Oscar the Grouch Dave Goelz Division vs 4. Statler and Waldorf 2. Count von Count Richard Hunt Division vs 5. Rowlf vs 3. Sam the Eagle wow, almost all of my votes were for the lower seed ---

Jim Henson Division 1. The Swedish Chef Gotta give the love to the unintelligible. Hard hard hard choice though. 2. Dr. Teeth Frank Oz Division 3.

Count von Count Richard Hunt Division 7. Miss Piggy Coin toss. Meh. Someone violent needs to make it though. 8. Sam the Eagle ---

I’m back from vacation, and I see that no votes have been cast in the last three days. I declare Round Three over. Some titans of the Muppet world have fallen, most notably Grover, Ernie and Bert. The Swedish Chef and Animal both put up valiant battles in losing causes. Statler & Waldorf continue to demolish their opponents. I did not need to cast any tiebreakers. I’ll try to get Round Four posted tonight, but if I grow too tired, it’ll be tomorrow evening. The full results of Round Three: **Jim Henson Division** **1. Kermit the Frog - 30** vs 4. The Swedish Chef - 24 2. Grover - 26 **vs 6. Dr. Teeth - 28** **Frank Oz Division** **1. Cookie Monster - 31** vs 5. Animal - 23 2. Ernie - 17 **vs 3. Oscar the Grouch - 36** **Dave Goelz Division** 1. Big Bird - 6 **vs 4. Statler and Waldorf - 48** **2. Count von Count - 31** vs 3. Fozzie Bear - 23 **Richard Hunt Division** 2. Miss Piggy - 18 **vs 5. Rowlf - 36** 3. Bert - 23 **vs 3. Sam the Eagle - 31** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/muppet-madness-round-three/455416.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/muppet-madness-round-three/455416.md?page=4)
