My vote is already cast, but clearly it can be shown that Grishnakh, if not quite the best of the lot here, is certainly a good deal more intelligent, and even more noble, than many of his fellows on the island.

Note that Grishnakh was searching for the Ring, TO TAKE TO HIS MASTER. Grishnakh is only guilty here of service as selfless as that of Samwise Gamgee, the father of all goody-goodies. Really, it's no wonder you heartless misers voted Sam off the island.

Furthermore, take note of the fact that Grishnakh is smart. He is wise enough not to take on Ugluk, wise enough to side his orks with his, in spite of personal conflict, when mutual danger threatens. He is certainly a lot better informed, and has a much better idea what is carried by a halfling.

Furthermore, Grishnakh is clearly highly trusted by Barad-dur if he is being entrusted with such dangerous missions as retrieving the Ring. His loyalty and intelligence are clearly implicated.

And if loyalty and intelligence are what gets people voted off the island, then why on earth is Grima gone?

Does he? His grand ideas ultimately lead to certain hairy footed ones running rings around him...

He has access to information, but is too much of a dolt to recognise that his victims are exploiting his knowledge. No, I'd say even Ugluk has superior brainpower to this chap...

Alas, the end of anyone with atleast their partial name being Baggins is rid from the island. I guess Glorfindel got tired of getting hit with her broom. I think she liked him.

Dwarves/Elves:
Galadriel
Glorfindel
Gimli
Gloin

Orc/Ents/Hobbits:
Grishnakh
Quickbeam
Merry
Pippin

Men/Wizard:
Eomer
Eowyn
Hama

Imagine what a bore the island would be without Grishnakh? He is the lone guy in this entire thing, he is the outcast, the underdog, no one wants him to win. Look at all this drama he creates.

We can lose Eomer, Glorfindel, Gloin, and Quickbeam without causing as much drama as Grishnakh himself causes.

Listen to Boromir88. He speaks wisely. I don't know how many times I have to remind everyone, but this is meant to be a TV entertainment show, not a lovey-dovey goody-goody love-in!!!

I hope that you Grishnakh voters never go into TV light entertainment production ...

So. Who do we go for today? Quickbean or Eomer?

Quickly! We must form a shield wall! It's not too late.

Come on, people; can you really do without Eomer and Gimli's dueling?

This trully is horrible. A Horse Lord in danger if being dismissed? Eomer is almost as cool as Aragorn and Faramir! Both of those are gone, I notice!

++Grishnakh

You know, it's bad enough that you kicked Sam off practically at the very beginning. You said you wanted to see how Frodo did without Sam, and then as soon as the faithful servant was gone, you turn on his master. The bone I've still to pick with you who did that is not yet bare. This orc...this Grishnakh...is not worth keeping. I am glad that he is the one you latch on to. He's an easy target for me, because I feel no pity nor liking for him.

Watch yourself, and wait...just wait...
