You are unfortunately mistaken, my dear fellow. I have nothing against Dwarves per se. I am just against a disproportionate number of Dwarves remaining in the contest. Ergo, I am not prejudiced against Dwarves, but simply seeking to maintain some kind of balance to the contest. As one who is concerned about ratings, you will no doubt appreciate that the majority of viewers will turn off in their droves if the final comprises solely Dwarves. Continued high ratings depend on appealing to the entire viewer demographic, not just those who happen to be Dwarves.

In any event, assuming a Dwarf goes today, I will be content to leave the remaining three alone - for now at least.

EDIT: I meant "Kili not Fili". That rather proves our point...
Oh, sorry Ang. I genuinely thought that I had chosen your least preferred "-ili". Not that it matters, surely. They are, as I have said, pretty much interchangeable.

Actually, Lal, the pledge was mine. And I will hold to it, provided that Kili goes today.
