So in this game the first poster picks a tv character and rips them to shreds, but then the next poster has to find something legitimately nice to say about them in the next post, or vice versa.
An example :
First Poster : "Phoebe Halliwell is such a skank, can she ever keep her damn pants on?"
Next Poster : "But she does provide support for millions of San Franciscans daily through her column"
and then a new character is picked.
So the game would be finding nice things to say about horrible characters, and nasty things about likable characters.
I'll start.
"Will Lana Lang ever shut up about her damn dead parents! Whiny twit.
"Pop That Ego!" Character Assassination and Redemption Game

Great idea, booklad!
I don't watch Smallville. That means I'm either the least qualified to respond positively to Lana, or the most qualified, depending on your Lana position. I'll try, since I gather that most Smallville fans are unlikely to post anything even remotely positive about Lana.
Rebuttal: Lana
Lana has such beautiful, shiny hair. Despite her lack of parental guidance, she eats so healthfully! Perhaps her shiny hair results from said healthful diet.
*****************************
Yeah. Sorry, I know it's a poor way to kick off this thread. I'll start out with my unpopular (on TWoP, anyway) Kate opinion--it should quickly attract a negative rebuttal to move this baby along.
Statement: Kate
Lost's Kate is intelligent, resourceful, independent-minded, and appealing. Despite her criminal past and fugitive status, she's truly a Rennaisance woman and a necessary character on the show.

Oooh, I'll take this one on. My unpopular opinion (again, at least on TWoP) is that I love Meredith Grey. She's a very realistic character.
Rebuttal: Meredith Grey
Meredith Grey is a strong, compassionate (and because of her capacity for compassion tends to be emotional) woman who is giving and supportive to her friends, but who unfortunately fell in love with the right person at the wrong time. The timing was not her fault. Over the course of the season she became disillusioned with Derrick, accepted the fact that he was treating her like shit, and truly gave him up to Addison.
Derrick continued to be a selfish prick (my take is that he's a good guy who hates himself for what he did to both Meredith and Addison, and his self-hate is manifesting itself in his boorish behavior--a natural progression, not character assasination) by taking Addison while still pursuing a relationship with Meredith. Like any person who fell in love with the right person at the wrong time, Meredith finally succumbs when her love interest tries to force a moment into being the "right time."
Oops. That was a little long. Heh--I guess I feel more strongly about this than I thought. Er...sorry.
Statement: Santino Rice
Santino Rice is awesome. Some of his comments and "confessional" observations may have been a little harsh, but Santino seems like he'd be a lot of fun to hang out with as well as a true and loyal friend. His flaws are simply a little more obvious than other people's flaws are.
He's also very talented (not one-note) as evidenced by his final collection, his dress for Suchin Pak's MTV Movie Awards appearance, and other creations that have been in the press lately.

Plus, I don't even think he's physically attractive...his hair looks like its dripping with enough grease to fry a pan of bacon and did I mention that damn constant smirk?!
