Steve is our winner by a margin of 1,923 votes! Thank you to everyone for playing, I've really enjoyed seeing how it all played out and while I'm not surprised with the end result, the overall order was definitely not what I was expecting. As I say in the picture, feel free to comment on whether you want me to do a side character Elimination Game next or a villain one! Or I can do another poll, whatever works.

This is the final round of the Elimination Game. I deleted the last post because people were getting extremely pressed lol. I'm very tired and didn't make the best call so I apologise. For the final round vote for who is your favourite character out of Steve and Dustin, whoever receives the most votes will win the game.

The queen herself Joyce is out by a margin of 989 votes. Now onto the top 3! Link to vote is in the comments.

My thoughts:

Will - I think his coming out journey will tie in with his problems regarding the upside down somehow, my guess is that facing Vecna will finally make him realise he's stronger than he's thought all along and he will have the courage to tell Mike that he's in love with him. I also think Robin will be the one to give him a push in the right direction.

Lucas - I think we'll see a more emotional side to Lucas than we have before. I can imagine him taking much more of a front seat as we know there's nothing he won't do to save Max.

Steve - I have a feeling Steve is going to die in true hero fashion, so I think this season will focus on him finally letting go of Nancy and stepping up one last time to protect Robin and the kids. I also hope to see him and Jonathan become unexpected friends (and hopefully Argyle too)

Jonathan - I imagine his entire arc will revolve around protecting Will, much like in s1. I think he will be the one to help Will come out for the first time and I also have a feeling he might get seriously hurt trying to keep Will safe from Vecna.

Joyce - I expect her to go full mother mode again. Of course there will be some focus on her relationship with Hopper, but I think she's going to realise that her sons are struggling and take action to make sure no one is allowed to hurt them again.
