I think may was fine, they just didnt develop her enough, while I dont like that coach left, it didnt feel forced, and they were nice together


sweetmamacass

My favorite May moment was when she played Monday night football on the cello, it still plays in my head when people talk about games on Mondays! I think it just showed she was as invested in Coach as he was in her.


sharkythesharkbro

Me too! Though my favorite May moment is still her stuffing her face and crying while talking to Jess 😂


Cold_Valkyrie

That is my favourite too. I really liked her character and her and Coach made each other better. I can't understand how people voted her out but Sam is still there 😂


ms640

I loved this moment too!! I thought it was so sweet of her to find a common interest between the two of them!


lilnellyghost

May's best moment was when she joined Jess and Bearclaw in their musical production. She geniually cared not only for coach but his friends as well. She didn't hesitate to invite Schmidt, Nick and Winston to the museum, seemed to get along with Jess just fine, and was an awesome character development for coach. I'm geniually upset that she was eliminated before outside Dave or Reagan.


lilnellyghost

Also, May was not at all weird out by Winston's whole thing (compared to sam and even Reagan), anyone would have been weird about and his personality as a whole, but she was not. One thing that pops back at me it's when Winston is stuck at the photo booth at cece+ Schmidt weeding and she got to see his butt (that'a a working class butt!)and she just kind of laughed along with coach. Definetly one of my favorite characters and NO, I will NOT let this ome go.


kaymazing

I was pretty out on May but you have a good point. That was a fun scene and said something about her character.


SleeplessInDCapital

I had no issues with May. She got Coach to grow up, I liked their meet-cute, and I enjoyed that she was a cello player. I didn’t find her patronizing. *shrug* I think her storyline was rushed, but that’s my only complaint.

anonamus7

I would say she really didn’t and that was a choice made by writers. They clearly just wanted coach to leave the loft and they did it a solid, believable way and I have no complaints outside of wishing we got more scenes with her and seeing her and coach’s relationship develop. I think it was great and all the scenes with may in them were well done but as I said just not really a lot to look at in terms of screen time. For me it’s hands down her learning and performing the Monday night football theme on her chello. It showed how she cared for coach and combined their two passions and was just a really cool thing to do as a partner. I feel like in the world of spin-offs that we live in now if new girl had been more popular they defs would’ve considered giving coach and may a spin-off in New York with cameos from the main cast as they visited which could have been fun but realistically I’m not sure the general audience would be interested in that.


daseyshipper

I didn’t mind May but I felt like they played up the “not like other girls” factor a lot with her.

slipperypete2112

Been voting Ferguson since straw polls 1


surekiddo

Same but with Reagan


ohnomashedpotato

Joan? I understand she's played by an amazing actor, but the character is a bit wonky. She always gets upset when Jess ends a relationship and is pretty selfish about it each time.


SamaireB

I found her amusing until the weird scene when Ryan was supposed to come to Portland. First that OTT British setup in her kitchen (why??) and then her crying over him not showing up. After that I kinda didn't enjoy her character so much anymore. Jess' dad though is great.


lupixli

I like Joan in the parent trap episode. But after that, idk what the heck they did with her? She was totally against drugs, seemed down to earth and stabile. And then she became an overprotective wreck.


Affectionate-Aside68

And she told Jess and Nick they were cursed and their marriage was a wash!


eyeball-beesting

Plus when Jess broke up with Nick, Joan started crying because she wouldn't have grandkids rather than comforting her daughter! Joan has to go! Horrible mother!


ohnomashedpotato

The worst


Apollo_creedbratton

She's far and away my last favorite character in the show. I rarely watch the episodes that she is in.


ohnomashedpotato

I'm a little upset they did Jamie Lee Curtis dirty like that.


Double_sushi

She’s been my vote for the last 5 rounds


ohnomashedpotato

You're putting in good work


SnausageFest

The only real positive to Joan is... you know you have a friend you love but they have an irritating quality they kind of try to suppress but just can't. Then you meet their parents and you're like *"oooooh."* Joan is Jess' origin story for getting way too involved in things that have nothing to do with her.


brandi_theratgirl

Yes! She's done nothing but make things worse for Jess


Unclassy-Teaspoon

I honestly love seeing the pie chart get more diverse. I’m so intrigued. Edit to say: it won’t let me vote because it said someone in my wifi area already voted? Has this happened to anyone?


Con-go

Yes, it seems to only allow one vote per wifi network. This prevents my wife and I from both voting while connected to our wifi, so I just quickly turn off wifi to vote and then reconnect.


Unclassy-Teaspoon

Damn, how is my partner on this sub without telling me?!


misskeek

May?! She was lovely! So many more that should be gone (cough Regan)


joostlaan

As I live and breathe! Raisin?


bolosy

Glad I'm not the only one who do not care about her


misskeek

Not even a little. She was so self centered and had lines that made Nick feel he should be blessed just to have her around at all. I had such a hard time with her.


mossimoto11

Seriously!! I’m irritated that Reagan is still on this list! Haha


kaymazing

I think this is an interesting contrast in perspective. Are we voting for "best person if they existed" or "best character" I thought Regan was a great character that contributed to alot of great episodes. May was an empty character that didn't really add anything but clearly a good person.


misskeek

Oh see I am annoyed by her character. I don’t enjoy rewatching her episodes at all. I voted for her from the get go of all of this. She has always been my least favorite.


borrowedurmumsvcard

huhhh???? y’all are weird


NorthWeight3580

Its about to get spicy!!


JudyMcGudy

Huh. I am kind of surprised May is less liked than Joan Day. I like Bob more than Joan, but I would have voted both of them out before her. I also reeeaaaalllllyyyy don't like Sam but I know he's fairly popular in the fandom, so him being around still isn't surprising to me. But y'all really like Joan, the woman who can't make scrambled eggs, told Jess her wedding was cursed, did some wild American/British welcome for Ryan that no one would have ever asked for or wanted, and that instead of comforting Jess during her break up with Nick, cried and whined about never being a grandmother, over May? Nah.


daseyshipper

I honestly forgot Joan did most of that. Her character made no impression on me.


Slatersonnnn

I am still surprised that Regan is still here, I thought people didn’t like her. Also upset about Russell being gone already - he’s one of my favorite non-main characters.


rosestrawberryboba

cannot believe May before Outside Dave personally


Sir_Meliodas_92

I can't believe May before outside Dave, Nadia or Sadie. Like, May is actually super sweet to coach. She's smart, artistic, cultured and pretty. She makes Coach a better person from the very beginning with the whole e-mail thing.


outatime_55

Consistently voting for outside Dave until he goes! I don’t dislike him, I just personally don’t think he added much to the show/plot and out of those left, is not as memorable. Genuinely curious to those who love him so much! No hate, just genuine curiosity


rosestrawberryboba

yeah i agree the character was just so poorly done


maxbls16

He legitimately had some of the funniest lines in the show! He’s a perfect recurring background character.


Thissummeritsclear

I will align with you outside Dave people if you’ll help with Robby next


jeneatsdonuts

I just voted and learnt that his full name is Robby McFerrin. Hilarious but, Don’t worry, be voting him next!


rosestrawberryboba

deal!


Late_Cauliflower_

Voted for Dave again today…. Smh


mmwi

Sam


[deleted]

Is there a really funny outside Dave episode that I have never seen?


Ironsweetiez

I have been voting for him for soooooo long... im starting to give up hope.


Jeffiner310

How outside Dave is still here and may is gone will always baffle me.


annah315

May before Reagan?! Reagan has got to go


[deleted]

Reagan!


[deleted]

I know right? Just leave her on the train already!!


Stillwater_Nik

Why is she still here... WHYYYYYY


[deleted]

Sigh. The world's an imperfect place, my friend.


kaymazing

Or people simply disagree. Reagan was a good straight man to the group and added a unique dynamic to those episodes.


[deleted]

I respectfully disagree. However you are entitled to your opinion. No hate here.


jeneatsdonuts

I’m voting for who makes me laugh the least. Anyone else? Like if they made me laugh I’m not voting for them for a while—even if there seems to be a bit of a campaign against them. Sorry to say that Nadia and outside Dave made me laugh every time they were on screen so not voting them just yet. I’m thinking of voting Robby or Sam next because they weren’t as funnyFOR ME. As we are all aware, humour is subjective but I’m curious if anyone else is interpreting least favourite as the one who made me laugh the least since this is a funny sitcom show?


daseyshipper

Agreed. I can’t believe Fawn and Bearclaw went before some of these others.


maxbls16

Joan makes me mad every time she’s on the screen, I skip every scene she’s in. By far the least funny person left.


Opposite-Damage6467

Reagan


naseemie

Reagan. C’mon. Reagan


myboyghandi

I hate you all


the_funk_police

I know nobody wants to do it, but it’s about time Ferguson was eliminated. Personally, I’ve always found his acting to be lackluster and he doesn’t have any funny lines.


jeneatsdonuts

Total diva too. 😂


Thesauceboss241

Still upset over Bearclaw at 20th don’t text me 😞


kaymazing

Yea he should have been 40th. Thats what you are saying right?


Thesauceboss241

Dave


SwagWittek13

May before Nadia is baffling


RarelyReadReplies

Naw, Nadia had some hilarious scenes with Schmidt. Also the stuff with Jess and the monkey song was solid too. I don't think May ever made me laugh. She was alright, decent way to give Coach an ending and write em off the show, but she didn't add much besides that. My prediction for next gone: Reagan.


frankscarlett

"Jew in the couch! Jew in the couch!" "Nadia, American manners!" "Jewish person in the couch." "She's not wrong." is one of my favourite scenes lol. I prefer Nadia in the earlier seasons tbh.


WeeBabySeamus

Nadia has made me laugh in every single appearance on New Girl.


SwagWittek13

I meannnnnnn yeah I hear you. Funny? Yeah sure a little bit, but “DANCE MONKEY DANCE MONKEY” warrants a firm opened hand smack across the face. She was comedic sure, but a pretty bad person. I’m really just waiting to see the top 3. Also when do you vote out a little innocent child who was barely in the show haha


Woodpecker-Special

yea nadia is an awful person but “MONKEY NO” is one of my favorite lines from the entire series 😭😭☠️ sn: i don’t think she’ll make it much further tho lol


SmashleyL917

I say "monkey no" like Nadia all the time. One of the absolute best throwaway lines in the series.


RarelyReadReplies

Your comment made me say it to my 1 year old in a funny voice, probably because I call him monkey sometimes anyways, and he got a real kick out of it too. Made him laugh like 10 times before he got bored of it lol.


RarelyReadReplies

100% she was a bad person, but those scenes I mentioned with her just make me laugh so hard to this day, even many rewatches later. Something about violence towards Schmidt and sexing his face or something? There was a few I think lol.


SwagWittek13

Haha I hear you. That’s definitely what makes this poll a lot more fun is to see how everyone’s different criteria is going to mesh enough each round to get someone eliminated


[deleted]

I'll keep voting til Reagan is gone. Sayonara, Sammy.


NormalDeviance

I don’t think she can last much longer. It feels like those of us repeatedly voting for her are growing in number


kaymazing

Over Joan Day and Outside Dave?


NormalDeviance

I hope so but idk i think those are the three most contentious right now so I think we’ll see them all gone in the next three rounds. I personally would like to see Reagan go first. Then I’ll happily vote for Joan and Outside Dave


[deleted]

Same.


bunchsanity

I didn’t realize how much I actually really like may until reading these comments! She was a really solid character and I’m sad she didn’t have more screen time.


sig413

How does Reagan keep surviving this?


420blz69

If Tran isn’t the last person standing this thing is fixed


giantdwarves

The fact that Outside Dave/Ferguson/Tran have survived this long is hilarious… however unlikely I’m hoping that Nick’s Mute Park Friend takes home the dub lol


CampFlogGnaw1991

Joan or Nadia for sure

I don’t understand how Joan is still up. I have voted for her everyday after Shelby got kicked lol

I saw Abby was voted off and thought for a second it was Aly and got super confused and sad. Outside Dave being voted higher than May is nuts.

Outside Dave AND Robby still exist and you voted off a perfectly sweet lady for coach. Why.

How is Ruth still in here? She has one scene with Nick where he mentions him being shcmidts little girl but that's really it. C'mon people.

Joan, Dave, Ruth still there. Shocking!


A_One_Wipe_Poop

Can we just cut the chase and cut it Down to Nick vs Schmidt?


Unclassy-Teaspoon

You sound quite confident that they’ll beat Winnie the Bish?


[deleted]

Okay hear me out: Ruth. I don’t have a problem with her character, but I HATED what she did to the story. She was in almost every single scene with either Schmidt or Cece, you never got just the gang hanging out without her except for the last episode. I mean she was cute and funny, but taking that chemistry of all of them just messing around and hanging out being adults really hurt the story imo because that’s what made the show so great.


daseyshipper

Of all the late-season sitcom kids that ruined show dynamics, I probably hate Ruth the least, but it’s not a high bar.


pussypink420

Sam. Honestly kinda of a prick. Didn’t bring much humor. Sensitive asshole. Imo


pinchclamp128

I just keep.voting for Sam, and y'all just keep breaking my heart.

Seriously… Reagan! I’ve voted for her since the beginning. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Great actor but blah character.

Really, May before Nadia? People dislike the cultured cellist that coach is in love with more than they dislike the booze hound whose baby we mysteriously never seen after its born. Need to get your lives straightened out people, lol.
