Pash, Pick or Pass: The Princess Bride's Men

The Contenders
This week we're playing with characters from one of the best books ever (and, also, best movies), The Princess Bride. Westley and Inigo were obvious choices, but I had a hard time deciding who should round out the trio. I went with Humperdinck in the end because he's the only other (kinda) contender for Buttercup's heart. So, presenting you with this week's options:

Prince "Please consider me as an alternative to suicide" Humperdinck

Inigo "You killed my father, prepare to die" Montoya

Westley "As You Wish" Farm Boy-turned-Dread Pirate Roberts

My Choices

Pash: Inigo. He's a passionate Spaniard, so woohoo for that, but his daddy issues prevent him from being a keeper.

Pick: Westley. No surprise there, I know - I bang on about the boy enough. He's pretty much the perfect guy, and deserves so much better than dumb Buttercup (namely me).

Pass: Humperdick. He's pompous, rude, evil and has really weird hair. Edit: Reading over this, I realised I left out the "n" in Humperdinck. But it works for me, so I'm leaving it.


Who would you pash, pick and pass out of these pretties (or, uh, not-so-pretties)? Feel free to create your own post and leave the link in the comments, or just answer directly below!

Related: I'm currently giving away a copy of The Princess Bride! I swear, I did not pick this theme today because of this - I only realised afterwards. I'm just that obsessed with The Princess Bride.

Next Time: A random selection of romantics - Etienne St Clair, Adam Wilde and Noah Calhoun. It's going to be a tough week.
