Whovian Polls

Hi guys!! So I wanted to try my own version of the Doctor’s fav tournament. I am riffing off the original in that the companions I will be using are the ones who already advanced there. But what I want to try is something unique. Rather than voting on the companion directly, I will have people submit arguments/propaganda and the strength of those arguments will be what is voted on. Scale of 0-10. Winner will be the one with the most points. TARDIS will also be excluded. I am hoping this gets rid of some of the personal bias and lack of knowledge of classic who companion issues.

There are now two stages of competition. Click HERE for that update.

For the purposes of my contest, I chose the companions from the earlier rounds of the original contest who lost but also had the most arguments in their favor. And also Jamie and Charley since they were strong contestants that lost due to being against the TARDIS. So the complete list will be:

Amy Pond: Contestant Profile

Fitz Kreiner: Contestant Profile

Clara Oswald: Contestant Profile

Ace Mcshane (lost but had lots of arguments for her too)

Rose Tyler (lost despite lots of arguments in her favor)

Jamie Mcrimmon (lost due to going up against the TARDIS but had substantial arguments in previous rounds)

Charley Pollard (lost due to going up against the TARDIS but had substantial arguments during that round)

Rules:

You can use my asks or messages to submit propaganda. Every point made will be used only once, even if submitted multiple times. I encourage you to submit anonymously to avoid too much back and forth drama and to encourage voters to be honest and open.

I will run a poll for every argument that is made. Ratings are from 0-10. Ratings for each side will be added up. Winner is the companion with the most points. No back and forth arguments. If you anticipate a counter argument, your rebuttal must be submitted before the polls launch.

As propaganda increases, I will need to stagger the posting of polls. This means it may take 1-3 days for all arguments to be posted.

If one character has more propaganda/arguments than another, it’s because more arguments were submitted for the character. I do make an effort to remind people to submit as much propaganda as they can think of multiple times before a round runs.

If anything is unclear please let me know and I’ll update this post!!

also, please vote honestly! Don’t give an argument a zero unless you truly believe it deserves one. I can’t prevent all disingenuous voting but I hope this is a more fair tournament than just voting on the companions blindly.

1) The Doctor travelled alone for 100 years after the time war. In all that time he didn’t open his hearts to anyone. But he started letting Rose in as soon as he met her. Even asking her twice to travel with him.

(Supplemental detail: she turned him down and he left and then he so wanted her to travel with him that he came back and said "Did I mention, it also travels in time?")

Final Score: 7.973 (poll)

2) A Dalek could tell the Doctor was in love with Rose. The Doctor let that Dalek loose to give Rose a chance at survival. Even though (as described in the novelization of the episode) he risked undermining his entire sacrifice in the time war.

Final Score: 8.0864 (poll)

3) When Rose saved her dad, the Doctor ended up nearly permanently dead trying to find a way to reset the timeline damage in a way that would’ve let Rose keep him.

Final Score: 8.0769 (poll)

4) In the audio story “Snare”, After Rose lost her dad, the Doctor decided not just to take her back home, but to stay with her at home until she was ready to travel again. Normally when companions need family time, the Doctor just drops them off. But for Rose stays. He even has a whole monologue about how he can leave eternity behind because she’s worth it.

Final Score: 8.198 (poll)

5) The Doctor sacrificed an entire regeneration to save Rose’s life, even though (from his perspective) he only had three regenerations left.

Final Score: 7.699 (poll)

6) Rose influenced an entire incarnation of the Doctor. Ten was born out of Nine’s subconscious beliefs about what would make him her ideal partner. David Tennant even confirmed the intent was for him to imprint on her.

Final Score: 8.323 (poll)

7) In the BBC comic from the 2007 Annual, “mirror image” the Doctor can instantly tell when a creature duplicated Rose that it’s not the real Rose. The same kind of creature duplicated others and their loved ones couldn’t tell. He also caught on to Cassandra possessing her pretty quickly. This is something the Doctor was unable to do with both Amy and Donna when they had imposters duplicating them.

Final Score: 7.878 (poll)

8) In the official BBC book “The Stone Rose” the Doctor sculpts a completely perfect statue of Rose almost entirely from memory. He only had 2000s quality phone pictures to help him with her ears.

Final Score: 7.781 (poll)

9) When Rose confronts him about leaving Sarah Jane, the Doctor admits how painful it is to watch companions age and die. But he promises Rose he won’t leave her and that she can spend the rest of her life with him.

Final Score: 7.472 (poll)

10) The Doctor struggles to say “I love you,” partly because the last person he said it to, Charley, was someone he thinks abandoned him. And she made him promise never to say it again unless he meant it . But with Rose, he wants to say it. In the end, he’s ready to say it (confirmed by the producers) but runs out of time. He’s never said “I love you” about or to any romantic interest since.

Final Score: 8.124 (poll)

11) In the audio “Cold Vengeance” it’s confirmed that if Rose were to die, the Doctor would break the laws of time for her. He had to be dragged away from her kicking and screaming. Then, he openly discussed taking the laws of time into his own hands to undo her death if he couldn’t get to her before she was killed.

Final Score: 8.144 (poll)

12) In Impossible Planet/Satan Pit, the Doctor thinks he’s lost the TARDIS forever, but he’s still got the energy to be flirting with Rose. And he’s still focused on comforting Rose.

Final Score: 7.103 (poll)

13) When forced to reflect on his own faith, the Doctor essentially affirms Rose as his closest thing to a religion. He reflects on all the so called Gods he’s seen in the universe. And he says with raw honesty, conviction and, determination, “out of all that. Out of that whole pantheon. If I believe in one thing, just one thing, I believe in her [Rose Tyler].” Keep in mind, he just one thing. Not one person. So this is out of every single entity he’s ever met. He puts her ahead of the TARDIS here.

Final Score: 8.0952 (poll)

14) In BBC’s 2007 Doctor Who storybook, in one of the short stories, the Doctor forgets his own identity. But he’s still able to remember Rose. And his inner dialogue specifically mentions that he remembers that she’s the most important thing to him. And by remembering Rose, he is able to remember himself again. Again, the Doctor once again puts Rose above even the TARDIS.

Final Score: 8.2 (poll)

15) The Doctor goes absolutely berserk anytime Rose is hurt or in danger. One example (although there are many) is from the Idiots lantern:

“They took her face and just chucked her out and left her in the street. And a result that makes things simple. Very very simple. Do you know why? Because now Detective Inspector Bishop, there is no power on this earth that can stop me”.

Final Score: 7.0392 (poll)

16) When the Doctor loses Rose, he cries onscreen for the very first time (possibly for the very first time on OR offscreen). Then he burns up an entire sun to say goodbye to her, even though he normally doesn’t like to say goodbye.

Final Score: 8.364 (poll)

17) The loss of Rose is the only time where the Doctor goes into an extended period of grief for someone who is alive with all their memories intact. This grief was so extreme that the Doctor was suicidal multiple times.

[caveat: some fans might consider Amy and Rory as a living separation. So it would be appropriate to vote zero if you do. However, others might feel that the Doctor seeing Amy and Rory’s gravestones mean that emotionally that would register more as a death than as separating from living companions. Vote based on whichever you resonate with.]

Final Score: 7.0652 (poll)

18) When the Doctor used the Chameleon Arc and forgot his real identity, Rose’s memory was still so persistent in his subconscious that she was the only companion to persist in his dreams. She also got the biggest drawing in John Smith’s diary. Even bigger than the TARDIS.

Final Score: 7.824 (poll)

19) When the Moment was choosing which form to take that would be the most likely to help the Doctor in the Darkest time of their entire lives, it chose Rose’s face. It chose Rose’s face out of every person the Doctor has ever or will ever meet. And it wasn’t the Bad Wolf that chose. The Moment said “I chose this face and form especially for you”. And then uses the name Rose Tyler. Not just Bad Wolf. This also confirms that can Rose have a strong impact on any incarnation of the Doctor. Not just Nine and Ten since she’s appearing for the War Doctor.

Final Score: 8.833 (poll) Highest of the tournament so far!

20) When the Eleventh Doctor asked the TARDIS interface for someone he liked, her first instinct was to appear as Rose Tyler.

Final Score: 7.0976 (poll)

21) The Giggle Novelization offers an insight into the Doctor’s inner thoughts when Rose is mentioned as being someone he loves. And the Doctor confirms that even after it’s been billions of years, he still misses Rose. And still believes she’s the one who saved him from the Time War. Not to mention, Rose is the Doctor’s only romantic interest that gets mentioned as being someone the Doctor loves. The others that get mentioned here were platonic loves of the Doctor.

Final Score: 7.75 (poll)

22) the Doctor couldn’t stop holding Rose’s hand from the moment they first met. And since then he was constantly reaching for her hand and constantly hugging her.

Final Score: 6.0943 (poll)

23) The happiness the Doctor felt around Rose, both as Nine and Ten, was palpable. He radiated joy in almost every episode just from being around her.

Final Score: 7.0377 (poll)

24) Even while in a regeneration coma, the Doctor snapped awake as soon as Rose uttered the words “help me”.

Final Score: 7.429 (poll)

25) This is from the Doctor Who Magazine Comic “The Cruel Sea”.

The Ninth Doctor is trapped in a reflection by a creature based on reflections. It captures people and then creates duplicates of them. It also looks into their minds. Rose finds the real Doctor who is trapped inside, and he’s took weak to fight back. But he gives Rose his sonic screwdriver. Telling her to use it to disrupt all the reflections the creature is using. She is worried it could kill him. But he tells her he trusts her.

Final Score: 3.6755 (only worth 5) (poll) (zeroes removed: explanation)

26) This is from the Doctor Who Magazine Comic “The Cruel Sea”.

The Ninth Doctor is trapped in a reflection by a creature based on reflections. It captures people and then creates duplicates of them. It also looks into their minds. Rose finds the real Doctor who is trapped inside, and he’s took weak to fight back. But he gives Rose his sonic screwdriver. Telling her to use it to disrupt all the reflections the creature is using. She is worried it could kill him. But he tells her he trusts her.

Final Score: 7.227 (poll)

27) This is from the big finish Audio: “The Last Days of the Powell Estate.”

The Doctor casually asks Rose to pass the sonic to HIM. Suggesting that he regularly gives her his sonic.

Final Score: 3.3/5 (poll) (zeroes removed: explanation)

28) Here’s a direct quote from the official Novelization of “The Christmas Invasion”. This is after the Doctor regenerated into Ten:

“The delighted look on Rose’s face told him all he needed to know. The relief this brought was like warm water sluicing through him. The Sycorax hadn’t worried him much—not for a second. However, the possibility that Rose of all people—that Rose, his heart of the TARDIS, might not recognise him, nor accept him… He would never have admitted to himself how close to an unbearable thought that was.”

Final Score: 8.0909 (poll)

29) the Doctor didn’t just die trying to keep Rose’s dad alive in “Father’s Day”. He also let both him and Rose cross their own time stream to give her a second chance to go to him when he was hit by the car. That alone was a huge risk. The Doctor never does things like that where they deliberately revisit a specific moment twice to try to chance the outcome. I’m not sure it ever happens again in the show. At least not with the Doctor deliberately doing it. And he did it all for Rose’s emotional well being. She wasn’t even in physical danger but that’s how much he cared about her feelings and her need for closure.

[Caveat: the Doctor crossed his own timeline to save Ace’s life. But so far this is the only known example of the Doctor intentionally crossing their own timeline for someone’s emotional well being]

Final Score: 7.366 (poll)

30) In “The Stone Rose” the Doctor pulls Rose in for a kiss just because he’s happy to see her after no longer being made of stone. It’s one of the rare Doctor Who kisses that is both initiated by the Doctor and is also a pure expression of affection and not something that serves some kind of practical purpose.

Final Score: 7.209 (poll)

31) The Doctor sees Rose as his best friend almost as soon as he meets her. In a short story from the BBC 2006 Doctor Who annual, the Doctor introduces Rose has his best friend. But she’s still in her clothes from when they first met. So this story had to have taken place between “Rose” and “Aliens of London”. Most likely happening right after “The Unquiet Dead”. One of the other characters even acknowledges that Rose hasn’t known the Doctor long. The short story is “Doctor vs. Doctor”

Final Score: 6.583 (poll)

32) Also in the BBC novel “The Stone Rose”, the Tenth Doctor looks straight at one of the original statues of the Roman GODDESS Fortuna and says: “Rose is prettier than you.”

Final Score: 7.974 (poll)

33) After he lost Rose, one of the Carrionite’s (from “The Shakespeare Code”) tried to taunt the Doctor with Rose’s name. he immediately found strength and said “oh big mistake. Because that name keeps me fighting”.

Final Score: 7.828 (poll)

34) Rose started an entire catch phrase that the Doctor would continue to use right up through their 15th incarnation. She started Timey Wimey. Jo Grant and River said it to the third and fifth Doctors. But it didn’t stick when Jo said it in a comic and the Fifth Doctor didn’t even remember meeting River. Timey Wimey was started by Rose in the comic “Doctormania”

Rose: I don’t know, still getting my head around the Timey Wimey stuff aren’t I?

Ninth Doctor: Timey Wimey? Have you heard yourself?

up to that point, the phrase still sounded silly to him. But after he loses Rose, the Tenth Doctor would use it for the first time during season three. Which was when his grief over Rose was the most raw. And the phrase never went away.

[Caveat: The Fifth Doctor chimed in when the Tenth Doctor started to say the phrase in “Time Crash”. But had never used it before. He would’ve been familiar with it via Jo, but the Doctor only started using this after Rose said Timey Wimey. If you think this is coincidence, a zero may be appropriate. On the other hand, if it makes sense that the Doctor only using the phrase one regeneration after Rose shows she mostly inspired it, give this some credit.]

Final Score: 5.841 (scoring poll) (validity screen poll)

35) When faced with the Slitheen trying to cause WWIII, the Doctor risks letting them do so just so he can find a way for Rose to be perfectly safe. “I could save the world but lose you.” He only relents when he realizes he can’t find a way to keep her perfectly safe.

Final Score: 7.514 (poll)

36) When Rose and Nine encountered the Gelth, there was a moment where they both believed dying and being possessed by the Gelth was inevitable. Nine barely just met Rose. But he looks at her, beams, and says “I’m so glad I met you”. He’s at peace with dying and having his body possessed just because he’s met Rose.

Final Score: 7.273 (poll)

37) As soon as Rose expresses her fear the Doctor won’t come back for her, he gives her a TARDIS key. Even though they’d practically just met. It often takes the Doctor between 10-40 adventures to give someone a key. Rose gets one almost immediately.

[Caveat: I did not have the energy to fully check how long every companion took to get a key. But the TARDIS wiki does have an article for which episode companions get their keys in. And just eyeballing it, it looks like 10-40 adventures for most companions is accurate. It has been for a lot that I went in and checked. So I’m including it. Rose wasn’t the only one to get a key sooner, but having it happen as quick as it did for her seems rare]

Final Score: 6.282 (poll)

38) At the end of the “Satan Pit”, Ida asks “You two, who are you?” The Doctor looks at Rose. Smiles. And responds “Oh. The Stuff of Legend.”

Final Score: 5.359 (poll) (validation poll results)

39) In the BBC NSA novel “The Monsters inside,” the Doctor and Rose are both imprisoned separately. Immediately upon being taken into custody, this is all the Doctor can think about. Direct quote from the book featuring his inner dialogue:

It didn’t matter what they did to him. He would get her back.

Final Score: 5.941 (poll)

40) An interaction from the BBC NSA “the Monster’s inside”:

The Doctor and Rose are still imprisoned separately. This is the Doctor’s conversation with one of the prison guards:

Ninth Doctor: Oh, well, that’s you off the hook then. Don’t you ever stop to wonder what’s happening on the rest of these Justice worlds? What’s happening to Rose?’

Flowers: Justicia is not run by monsters, Doctor. If anything, the monsters are kept inside. Murderers, rapists, pushers. . .

The Doctor: If anything happens to my friend, Flowers… Then I’ll show you a monster.

Final Score: 7.154 (poll)

41) The Doctor and Rose are so in sync, that in the book “The Monster’s Inside” Rose is able to solve extremely complex physics problems by figuring out vague coded hints from the Doctor such as mentions of EastEnders characters and her mum’s telephone number.

REDACTED (failed validation poll)

42) During the first half of the audio "the Sword of the Chevalier" the Doctor is mistaken for a famous singer at a party at large estate in the 1700s. He is summoned to sing and the Doctor hands Rose his personal sonic to go and scan the whole premises for the alien threat while he socializes with the host of the party and prepares to sing for him. He could've refused to sing, but trusted Rose to wander the whole estate with his sonic for a decent period of time instead.

The sonic is both an important tool as well as a major personal comfort object for the Doctor.So, it took a great deal of love and trust for the Doctor to do this. Probably even more than what it takes for them to simply give someone one of their own instead.

Final Score: 6.932 (poll) (zeroes AND ones removed: explanation)

43) (From the Big Finish Audio “Infamy of the Zaross”)

When Rose asks the Doctor if he was tempted by the game and fortune offered to him in the adventure he says,

“I’ve got the TARDIS. I’ve got you. What else does a wandering Time Lord need?”

The Doctor is saying that all he needs in the whole wide universe is the TARDIS and Rose.

Final Score: 7.212 (poll)

44) In the BBC Book “The Feast of the Drowned”. Rose manages to break through a powerful hive mind. When another character asked the Doctor how she did it, he gives some possible rational explanations. But he finishes with: “Or maybe just because she’s Rose.”

Final Score: 5.447 (poll)

45) In the BBC book, “Only Human”, this Doctor is being brainwashed into a state of partial memory loss and utter relaxation and peace by the antagonist. But remembering Rose is enough to break the brainwashing. Here’s the quote:

“He shuddered as a series of images flashed through his mind – Rose smiling. Rose taking his hand. Rose in danger.

‘Whoah, what was that? There was something else. . . Find Rose.’

A surge of glee possessed him. ‘Escape and find Rose! Come on!’

He leaped from the settee and grabbed Rose’s coat, tying it round himself as an aide-mémoire, then jostled Quilley out of the door.”

Final Score: 8.292 (poll)

46) In the novel “Only Human” the Doctor comes VERY close to handing over the TARDIS to a villain who is threatening to leave Rose in a dismembered state if he doesn’t. Luckily, Rose screams at him to stop and that’s when he notices the villain’s equipment cabinet. So, he realizes he just needs to get to the equipment to save Rose. And he starts to stall the villain so she can’t get the TARDIS.

Final Score: 7.732 (poll)

47) direct quote from the BBC book “Nightmare of Black Island” featuring the Doctor and Rose.

Bob: What? You think you and your girlfriend are like those two from The X-Files or something?

The Doctor: Yes

He doesn’t even try to correct this guy! He’s perfectly content having Rose be called his girlfriend!

Final Score: 6.972 (poll)

48) this is a direct quote from the book “The Resurrection Casket”:

(In regard to a conflict involving multiple people about whether to let a dangerous woman die or let her in and risk her attacking them).

The Doctor: “Do whatever you think best. You’re not wrong. You’re never wrong. How could you be?”

Rose, of course, saves the woman. But this shows the absolute trust the Doctor has in Rose. To the point where he occasionally gets to these irrational levels of idealization of her.

Final Score: 8.388 (poll)

49) This one is from the Book “The Nightmare of Black Island”. Here’s a direct quote from the book. I know it’s small and simple, but strong relationships are built by these tender moments:

“Rose was curled up on the battered control room chair, the Doctor’s long brown coat draped over her like a blanket. She was fast asleep, her breathing slow and measured, keeping pace with the rotor.

The Doctor peered round the console at her, smiling”.

Final Score: 6.523 (poll)

50) The Doctor’s feelings for Rose have stood the test of both time and regenerations. Both Nine and Ten were equally entirely besotted by her. We get small Easter eggs that Eleven quietly feels the same. The Moment chose her face for the War Doctor. And then the Fourteenth Doctor confirms that billions of years later he still misses her.

Final Score: 4.0377 (poll)

51) In the comic “Monstrous Beauty” Rose is turned into a murderous vampire who tries to kill the Ninth Doctor. After the ordeal when Rose is returned to normal he brought her a little plant as a present. And here’s the important part of their dialogue:

Rose: Thanks for not giving up on me

The Doctor: Never Gonna Happen

Final Score: 7.317 (poll)

52) when the Ninth Doctor hears that Rose really wanted a red bicycle for Christmas one year, but Jackie couldn’t get it for her, he obsesses over getting the exact one she wanted. Even going on a whole adventure to get it back when an alien steals it. And then he quietly, without interacting with child Rose, leaves it for her on the Christmas that she wanted to have it. This detail is from the short story “The Red Bicycle” in the collection “the twelve doctors of Christmas”. And it’s also briefly mentioned in the TV episode “The Doctor Dances”.

Final Score: 8.118 (poll)

53) When the Tenth Doctor is about to regenerate, he saves his visit to Rose to be his last. He’s in an INCREDIBLE amount of pain. But he still lights up when he sees his Rose one more time.

Final Score: 8.26 (poll)
