24 OT Nominees


OT IDOL


Since American Idol is over, I am going to fill the void via a contest to determine the best character of the Old Testament. First, we have to establish 24 nominees. Then we will vote 2 off each Wednesday until we, eventually, determine a winner. I am selecting 16 nominees and allowing my readers to select the final 8 participants. God/Trinity is disqualified since He's also the Judge :)

Adam
Eve
Noah
Abraham
Jacob
Joseph
Moses
Joshua
David
Solomon
Esther
Job
Isaiah
Jeremiah
Ezekiel
Daniel

Who is Missing?
First 8 OT suggestions get in

Slightly confused-what's the criteria here? Like-ability? Survival on some OT island? Toughest hypothetical gladiator? Most sinless?

'best' as in 'favorite' on whatever criteria the reader wishes. Just like on American Idol some vote for the best voice, some best personality, some best looking, some vote for the person that is the worst b/c they hate the show...

I'll accept AJ's 1st 3 valid entrees (Elijah, Elisha, Samson), but then the rest of his nominees are disqualified b/c he put Job whom I already included. Gomer gets in via Steph. Deborah & Ruth get in via Gloria (it's only Old Testament though Gloria!)

Regan's picks complete the nomination process. Voting starts next week. I am going to have categories each week and see how creative you people are :)

Matthew: I think Glo's last three entries are just her favorite band: Peter, Paul & Mary".
