1. Kermit the Frog (Hail to the king, baby) 2. Grover (He beats Crazy Harry just on the merits of “There’s A Monster At The End Of This Book”) 3. Dr. Teeth 4. The Swedish Chef 5. Cookie Monster 6. Ernie 7. Beaker 8. Gonzo (This was a tough one) 9. Robin the Frog (Another tough one) 10. Guy Smiley 11. Fozzie Bear 12. Statler and Waldorf 13. Miss Piggy 14. Herry Monster 15. Sam the Eagle (He could also win on “Titwillow” alone.) 16. Rowlf (This was the toughest because I love Honeydew, but Rowlf beats him. He is one of the best [and oldest] muppets. I loved the “Old Brown Ears” album) ---

**Jim Henson Division** 1. Kermit the Frog (Oddly enough this is a no-brainer for me. For some reason Rizzo always just grated. He has had some great lines, but they were in spite of the character, not because of him.) 2. Crazy Harry (How can sweet and stupid compete with explosions?) 3. Dr. Teeth (As one of those who voted against Elmo in the first round, I can’t see how this will surprise anyone.) 4. The Swedish Chef (Bork.bork.bork.) **Frank Oz Division** 1. Cookie Monster 2.

1. Kermit the Frog (no surprise there, I guess) 2. Grover (Hello everybodeeeee! Grover gets votes from me based on “The Monster at the End of this Book”) 3. Dr. Teeth (I forgot to mention that I will _always_ anti-Elmo vote) Aloysius Snuffleupagus Frank Oz Division 1. Cookie Monster (I’m so happy that I don’t yet have to agonize over a Cookie Monster vs. Animal vote) 2. Ernie 3. Oscar the Grouch 4. Animal (but apparently, I _do_ have to agonize over a Gonzo vs. Animal vote.) Dave Goelz Division 5. Big Bird 6. Guy Smiley 7. Janice (Just about anyone but Elmo would beat Fozzie.) 8.

**Jim Henson Division** 1. Kermit the Frog – How can you vote against that! 2. Grover – Well, _Monster at the End of This Book_ is my favorite book! 3. Elmo – Hate me if you want, but we like him at our house. 4. Aloysius Snuffleupagus – Hard hard hard **Frank Oz Division** 1. Cookie Monster – LOVE LOVE LOVE 2. Ernie – Sure he can be annoying, but think about some of his songs! The one where he imagines he is all the different things is amazing. 3. Oscar the Grouch – We enjoy him a lot here. 4. Gonzo – I love him! **Dave Goelz Division** 1. Big Bird 2. [Guy Smiley](http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Guy_Smiley) – Hard, because I like the Count, but I just have a soft spot for Guy Smiley. 3. Fozzie Bear 4. Statler and Waldorf – Have to vote for them, but I do love Scooter. ☹ **Richard Hunt Division** 1. [Zoot](http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Zoot) – Hate Miss Piggy, and wouldn’t even care who Zoot was (but since I’ve voted against Electric Mayhem so much, I’m glad to vote for him) 2. Bert – I feel so sorry for him. All he wants is to read, and play with Bernice, and count his bottle caps, and SLEEP! 3. [Mahna Mahna](http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Mahna_Mahna_%28character%29) vs 5.

I was gonna keep voting for Waldorf & Statler and screw the rest of the muppets, but now that the matchups are getting more interesting, I’m gonna start voting seriously. 1. Rizzo the Rat vs 7. Crazy Harry 1. Dr. Teeth 2. The Swedish Chef 3. Cookie Monster vs 10. The Newsman 4. Oscar the Grouch vs 5. Animal (jesus man…TOUGH TOUGH choice, but I gotta go with the muppet inspired by Keith Moon!) Dave Goelz Division 1. Big Bird vs 8. Robin the Frog (I abstain - two of the most annoying muppets ever?) 2. Count von Count vs 6. Janice 3. Statler and Waldorf (FTW!) vs 9. Zoot 2. Bert 3. Sam the Eagle 1. Dr. Bunson Honeydew (another really tough one - science or music?) ---

I don’t know why they called him Crazy Herry. He seemed perfectly reasonable to me. Now Grover…there was an irrational fellow. ---
