I was going to vote for someone else, but I have been swayed by
Sauce's argument. Elros had everything you could ever want- long life, riches, and his own island kingdom, but what did he do to deserve it? I think we should cast out the undeserving Elros.
+ + Elros

The tide is clearly turning against those perceived as claiming the "right to win".

Well, that just shows how dumb people are.
I would understand turning against people who claim some sort of unearned right, but that's not what we are talking about. We're talking about characters who, through their choices and deeds, have
earned the right to call themselves Survivor Champion.
We should give credit where credit is due, and reward those who have put forth the effort to place themselves among the great and powerful.

Should someone who was bested by a trio of halflings really win Survivor? I think not.

Sauron was most certainly
not bested by a trio of halflings. He was defeated by divine intervention- he was bested by Eru. Sauron had grown so powerful and his Ring plot was so perfect (no one could willfully destroy it) that God himself had to step in on several occasions to ensure his defeat. If that's not greatness I don't know what is.
