White-Hand A plea in the name of "entertainment"

I really don't understand why you are all so willing to vote off one of only two surviving members in the "Others" tribe. And one of the most useful of the Survivors too. Think about it. They are on a tropical island. Lots of trees. Those who can communicate with the trees, and quite possibly persuade them to make themselves useful, are valuable members of the community.

But really, we should be aiming to keep things even between the tribes, since it will make for a much more exciting climax to the show. So a vote for a member of the "Men" tribe should be the only option.

By all means, choose whichever member you like the least. My choice is Faramir, although I would be happy to see the back of Eomer (no, not that Eomer ), because I find "perfect" contestants dull to watch in these kinds of shows. Boromir and Eowyn have "character" and I like Hama for standing up to the "high and mighty" (and incredibly presumptuous) Aragorn. But, whoever we vote off, it should be one of that tribe.

Then we can look at the Hobbits tomorrow. Gollum makes great viewing but, given the options, I would probably have to vote for him.

Edit: The Faramir/Eowyn romance thing is a red herring. Much more interesting to vote off Faramir and see what else may develop ...
