Interviewing of the contestants prior to the game reveals extreme confidence from Annatar about winning:
"After three previous rounds, I think my chances of winning at next to none. After all, I've got the most experience. And I'm the prettiest."
Fellow three-tries-at-it-already contestant, Elrond Peradan, was less optimistic:
"I'm always voted out."
Although the contest contains several old fan-favourites, viewers were disheartened by the lack of a great dragon. Members of an fan group known only as "F.A.T.", however, claimed to be pleased with the new edition's selection.
"Lots of babes," said an anonymous member approvingly. "Galadriel, Celebrían, Erendis... even that tree girl, Fimbrethil. Much better than the last round."
But enough interviewing.
The game starts NOW. Each day, one (or possibly more, if I decide to allow double-lynches, which I probably will most days) person will be evicted from the game by the voting of YOU the readers. The days will be more or less regular in duration, but due to the irregularities that are a working bum's life, the exact duration of the day will not be herein specified, so as to allow me the chance to open/close the days as I please, and to allow for a greater air of uncertainty (no holding votes back to the deadline, guys).
Votes are retractable. They should appear like this:
++ Nilpaurion Felagund
(who is not a legitimate candidate).
Okay, I think you guys know how this works. You may begin.
Oh, and Nilp, your vote for Ar-Pharazôn is not pre-registered.
