And the loser of the month for September 2005 is...

Princess Romelle!

In the past we've already discussed why her little brother and her boyfriend with the bad accent are losers, but this month we're going to take some time to honor the princess of Pollux with her very own loser award.

The first reason Romelle is a loser is because she's such a tease.  I mean, this is the chick that went for the crazy man in the bottom of the Pit of Skulls, so it's not like she's all that picky about who gets up her dress.  Anyway, she flirted like crazy with Lotor and led him on.  He even proposed to her!  You know how hard Zarkon's been trying to marry Lotor off to someone with him hung up on Allura?

Well, this prissy princess got all uptight and whined and moped that we invaded her planet even though that was their own fault (hey, they're the ones who planned to betray us and buddied up to the Voltron force!) and whined that we caused her father to die (maybe he shouldn't have been plotting to stab us in the back, blondie!) and her brother (who volunteered to be our robeast) to bite it. 

Lotor doesn't take rejection well, especially when he's that close to getting a hot piece of princess, so he kidnapped her and held her captive for a while to give her some time to think about it. 

Instead of coming around though, she got pissier and kept spouting a bunch of self-righteous smarm about how we're evil and Voltron's gonna get us, blah blah blah.  Finally Lotor got tired of her whining and had Mogor haul her off to the dungeon.

Unfortunately a few weeks after we had her prisoner, she managed to escape with a couple of other slaves by stealing a ship.  (Believe me, the robots in charge of that bay were "decommissioned" fast when Zarkon found out about that one!)  Our brilliant blonde escaped to a frost planet however and managed to get herself recaptured in a couple of hours.  Lotor then gave her the ultimatum of marry him or go to the Pit of Skulls, and guess what she picked?

You got it.  *adopts melodramatic smarm-laden whiny princess voice*  "I'll never marry you!  You're evil and mean and you eat puppies and I HATE YOU LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS!"

So off she went into the Pit of Skulls where she hooked up with Sven, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Let this be a lesson, fellow evil guys.  Don't bother dating goody-goody blond princesses.  It never turns out well.  Hot as they might be, the truth is they're nothing but fickle robeasts with pretty faces.
