Final placings and awards:

1st J.Heart (Bold Type), Prize = Female Blonde
2nd R.Heart (Bold Type), Prize = Female Blonde
3rd B.Heart (Light Grey Type), Prize = Female Brunette

Answer

Faint heart never won fair lady.

1st, 2nd and 3rd place were all taken by people called Heart.
The first two both won female blondes as prizes.
Another term for blonde hair is fair.
The 3rd place Heart (written in grey type, so faint) didn't win a fair lady, rather his prize was a brunette.

paul726 Mar 14, 2006	It was difficult, but I think it deserves a higher rating than that. Very well thought out.
Jimbo Jun 05, 2008	It's all according to taste. I thought it was better than average!
Wolfer Jun 23, 2008	Amazingly, I actually got it right. Wow.
Shadows Dec 13, 2008	That was easy. How come the difficulty rating is so high? Well, I really enjoyed it, and for those people who didn't get it, READ IT OVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU DO GET IT! Sheesh...
bigpat May 04, 2009	Very good, I liked it. I didn't solve it because I had never heard that saying before. Don't get me wrong, I get it (both the rebus and the saying). I was all over the right idea and had I heard the saying I would certainly have gotten it. Again well done.
