Harrison

I'm surprised by the easy "victory" of Garfield and by the fact that Hayes hasn't received any vote. But votes have to be efficient.

After this round, it'll be the top 7, with all the remaining presidents: the opportunity for big surprises .

I'm torn apart...
If I want to be honest, I must vote for the President whom I'd want to see win a survivor at last... the best one, TR, Theodore Rex

But, maybe he can wait for a round

Andrew Jackson

Yeah, I must acknowledge it, I'm a hack here

[big bad fab]

Well, as my top 3 was (eventually: it was hard to decide) Ike-Taylor-Grant, I guess I'm now free to try to make my intimate favourite win a survivor:

Eliminate
Andrew Jackson

I really don't care about this New Orleans battle .

[big bad fab]

I really don't care about this New Orleans battle .

Jackson uses Indians and African Americans, digs trenches, sends out Indian parties to kill British at night, and holds the lines and wins.  Amazing huh?  To bad the battle took place after the war was already over.

I wanted to be a bit provocative .

Remember our recent finale de Gaulle-Gorby ?
Well, it's the same... I'm torn between honesty (Ike should win this one, though Grant and Taylor would have been fine or, arguably, could have claim to be better soldiers in some ways) and "heart" (TR is the sort of "son of a b***" I like ).

So, I'll wait a bit before voting.

[big bad fab]

OK, I have no regret:

TR for survivor !

Dwight D. Eisenhower, our "kewl" survivor:



Thanks for having taken part in this survivor.

It was mostly consensual, but a bit more original and far less hacking than any usual survivor about US politics, especially about US presidents .
