Then they are pretty useless, aren't they? Can't see how Curufin might do anything to assist in future tasks that one of his remaining brothers could not accomplish. Whereas all of the other candidates that have been discussed have fairly unique talents which might come in handy in the future. So, I can't see much point in keeping Curufin.

You see, this is precisely the reason why I have chosen to vote for Curufin. Unless it suits my own purposes, I don't like to be manipulated (as opposed to persuaded) into voting in a way that suits the agenda of another, particularly not the show's producer. In other words, I like to exercise free will.

Remember that this is a reality game show. Voting with the tasks in mind is fair enough. But it is also perfectly permissible for viewers to vote off those contestants that they dislike, regardless of the task at hand. That's mostly how reality game shows work.
