Hot Take: I'm glad Marker didn't get eliminated

For some reason, every BFDI season ALWAYS has one Silly/Joke character that makes it far in the contest, even though they're the type that should be eliminated early.

Rocky has done nothing but vomit in season 1, yet managed to outbeat characters like TennisBall and Pencil, and only barely lost to Flower by just 7 votes.

Nickel legit dodged multiple bullets in several eliminations throughout BFDIA, outlasting GolfBall, Ruby, and Pencil, despite I was convinced he be in 12th-10th based on the many prediction videos. Don't get me wrong, he's a fun character, but once the final 7 rolled in, he was such a sore thumb when grouped with the rest of the champions.

I got nothing for Profily. I was gonna include Woody, but he had some character development and was relevant to the story a bit, so I'll stick with the only other joke character.

Needy is kinda self-explanatory, a character based on Needle's hated name. I'm glad she made it pretty far in a contest that's small; she is a fun joke character.

And finally there's Marker, which I personally love. He literally could've been the first to go in TPOT 2, but didn't, and now he's in the final 11!! He outlasted so many S-Tier characters: Snowball, Tree, Liy, Winner, Pin, Teardrop, etc. Do I think he should win? Hell no, none of these characters do, but Marker was always that comfort contestant I relied on whenever TPOT got serious. I also don't like whenever people say he has done nothing recently when there's literally Fanny and TennisBall who had done less. He helped liy realize that there are people who trust her by giving her the coin in TPOT 19, he died for his team in TPOT 4, the yoyle dances in TPOT 5, and now we got a small arc with him right now trying to reunite with Black Hole, while also saving the eliminated contestants. He has done way more crap than people give credit for, while still being a ray of sunshine. I hope he makes it to the final 8 at least.
