I wanted to try to make an Elimination Game. I thought that it could be fun to do one and rank the male TV companions. I thought of doing one with all companions first but the list would be too long. The list is from Wikipedia.

I think Adam is not even a companion tbh. Just a character who was specifically made to be incompatible with Doctor.

Adam has to be the first to leave. It feels like some will be easy to eliminate in the beginning but it will get hard in the end.
@Tian! A real gentleman would take the female companions first! Where is the chivalry these days?? /j
Anyway, fun topic! Watch me slay!

[-1] Adam Mitchell shall be the first to go, no question. Terrible person.

Craig isn’t a companion - he’s a recurring character. Adam was a companion, if only briefly, as he travelled in the TARDIS and got an extra story on audio. Craig should have gone first with Adam close behind. Wilfred gets a pass because he’s brilliant but he isn’t really a companion either.

[0] Craig Owens who is as much a ‘real’ companion as Adam is - he’s not. As for my upvote, I know I’m in a losing battle here but Nardole defense squad forever and ever

Knowing a Doctor Who story has the Brigadier in it makes me happy. Knowing a Doctor Who story has Captain Jack in it makes me sad.

Why would you make me choose between the Brigadier, Jamie the Best Bagpipe Boy and Wilf? How could you?
Oh, but Dan’s defintely the worst. His entire character is just “w o k”.

A win for the first male companion, and a blow to the most recent.
I have so much affection for Ian! He and Barbara really set the template.
