I think some of you are missing the point. This isn't the "Weakest Link". I think we should be honouring Tolkien's philosophy by wisely considering that even the smallest and weakest might have an important part to play. Thus, we should be booting off the powerful, especially the obnoxious, snivelling powerful ones, and those who we know will land sturdily on their feet in character-afterlife, otherwise known as rerun heaven or Lost or any number of talk show.
