Prison Break

It has been an interesting discussion among the Prison Break fans on BuddyTV's site, as they try to figure out which character should die first when season 4 returns this fall to Fox.  Notice the question says: who SHOULD die first?  Not, who do you want to die first or who would you be upset if they died first, but who should die first?  We've examined heroes, villains, and those who teeter on the edge and could go either way.  In last week's third and last round before the final vote, we put Michael up against Sucre and T-Bag.  Though T-Bag may have many fans, he pulled in 72% of the votes, catapulting him to the final round.  He'll go up against a teenager and a member of The Company as you decide, ultimately, you should die first in Prison Break's fourth season.

FINAL ROUND NOMINEE: SUSAN

In her round, Susan brought in 52% of the votes.  Her competitors, Bellick and Mahone, brought in 39% and 9% of the votes, respectively. Call me crazy but there's something that I like about Susan's character. While I don't approve of her tactics (like faking Sara's head in a box), she's a badass woman who is intimidated by no one. She has no problem using her sexuality to get ahead or turn the aggression up a notch to command respect and obedience. With Michael feeling that she is responsible for Sara's death, will Susan be able to survive through the early part of season 4? Not if Michael has anything to say about it!


FINAL ROUND NOMINEE: LJ
Oh, the fans didn't like it when they had to make a choice between LJ and Lincoln to die first.  They thought it was evil but I'm just trying to think like a member of The Company.  Despite all the crying about it, the fans turned on the teen, and 85% of them voted him to be the first to die.  LJ has hardly had any of his story told, even since season 1. He has very much been a background character, who has a few lines here and there. Prison Break fans are much more invested in Lincoln, who they have been rooting for from the very beginning.  Besides, The Company is much more likely to kill LJ to get at Michael and Lincoln than to kill Lincoln to get at LJ and Michael.  Like I said, think like a member of The Company.


FINAL ROUND NOMINEE: T-BAG

Not that I thought you'd vote to kill off Michael or Sucre, but it was a little surprising that 72% of you wanted T-Bag to die first.  I mean, if this were real life, then T-Bag sure as hell deserves to die. He's a stalker, a rapist, a murderer, among many things. Yet, there's something that's just so captivating about T-Bag that we don't want to see him die ... ever. He is the current prisoner "in charge" of Sona but, with great power, comes great danger. Just ask Lechero. Oh, that's right, you can't because he's DEAD. Before too long, a group of prisoners will join together to take down their leader and take over Sona for themselves. T-Bag may be well versed in the power of persuasion but let's see how he'd do in a fight to the death in Sona's prison yard.
