I agree! If you've ever read "There's a Monster at the End of This Book," you know that Grover can tie all kinds of knots, build wooden structures, lay bricks, etc. He'd be a super useful survival partner.

Oscar...because he really doesn’t want to be bothered...and neither do I.

Oscar. He's the only one who knows how to live off of trash in rugged conditions... which makes him the only survivalist of them all.

Elmo. Gee, are you serious? Who would pick the Cookie Monster? He has a one word vocabulary: "Cookies! Cookies!"
Dude, we're on a desert island. There ain't no cookies.

Hm. I'll go with... pic.twitter.com/d670DQNxbT

Ever heard of Super Grover, you idiots? He’s gonna get stuff DONE. Planes will see him in his cape and Roman helmet or whatever it was. He’s ENTHUSED. He’d do all the cooking for sure. Also will provide a good amount of food when you kill/eat, not like scrawny #Elmo https://t.co/bEutULhpoe

Grover and it’s not even close.

Elmo, God love him, would become super annoying QUICKLY asking way too many questions. Cookie’s blood sugar gets low, he becomes hangry, and it’s a wrap. Oscar would complain the whole time and wouldn’t lift a finger to help. This is science. https://t.co/vm4xUmrXUL

Grover & Elmo ask too many damb questions & i don't wanna find out that cookie is an omnivore on a deserted island. so ill pick Oscar cause he won't nag me w questions https://t.co/lZecKWht78

It's Grover, whose Super Grover alter-ego will save the day. Oscar will constantly complain & is useless on an island in his can. Elmo is basically a useless child & clear liability. Cookie Monster is a limited conversationalist who, w/out cookies', would be the 1st to go bonkers https://t.co/Byj5KZ6B4o

Grover and Elmo are both exhausting. Cookie Monster would be fun, but would be a drain on precious resources. Have to go with Oscar, not just by default, but because he is both a strong conservationist and an engaging conversationalist. https://t.co/EfJMux5vGL

Obviously @MeCookieMonster because I can only assume he would come with a lifetime supply of cookies https://t.co/yYYftSEsJl

Elmo, because he's the only one i would be able to kill and eat easily and without any remorse https://t.co/eBTo3VZvME

Elmo is the ONLY choice.

Grover: too anxious

Cookie Monster: would go through cookie withdrawal & who even knows what his sober personality is

Oscar: anyone who chooses Oscar should be on a watchlist https://t.co/dmKLvZszKg
