End of Day the First
The inaugural day of Minor Works Survivor began slowly, with the judges warily eyeing many of the unfamiliar contestants. Votes, when they came, were varied. At the end, two unlucky characters ended up tied:
Tom Bombadil: 2 votes
Princess Pam: 2 votes
Sunny Sam: 1 vote
The Mewlips: 1 vote
The Giant from the Wild Hills: 1 vote
The Sea-serpent: 1 vote
And so, Tom and Pam were literally trussed up together and heaved into the Sea. Tom gave a cry of "Hey derry dol!" with a mysterious wink and Pam, being the Princess of the Sea, simply smiled as she returned to her home with a mighty splash.
