About a month ago Monopoly announced they would be running an online contest to find out which game piece was players least favorite, then have it replaced by a new figure. Well, the results are in...

Drum roll please....

I'm excited to announce that my least favorite game piece was also America's least favorite - the Iron will be booted from the Monopoly game and be replaced by the cat.

As of last night the iron was tied with the boot and the wheelbarrow, but in the final hours the iron dropped into dead last and was given the boot. (haha get it 'the boot') OK I know I'm not funny.

The cat was also chosen by fan votes, the feline prevailed over a diamond ring, robot, guitar, and helicopter after more than 250,000 votes.

So, are you excited to play with the cat or are you devastated to see iron go?
