Compromise?

What if we let up on Glorfindel if you all let up on Eowyn, letting both of them make it to, say, the final four? final three? Truth is, I'd much rather have Eowyn around than Galadriel. Galadriel gets too much credit for everything... I wouldn't mind going for her today.

I'm happy to do a deal and lay off Glorfindel, at least for a while. But given that there are only two females left, why must one of them be sacrificed today? I'm not saying they both have to reach the final, but surely there's no need to whittle it down to just one at this relatively early stage?

Can I suggest "unquenchably cheerful" Pippin as a good alternative eviction candidate?

Male/female? Schmail/Schemail. It's not so much the gender of the contestants as their characters and the tribal mix that I am concerned with.

I'd be happy to vote for either Galadriel or Glorfindel today.

Only one Elf should make the final. Both of the remaining Elves are insufferably pompous and incredibly disdainful of the other contestants, although this Galadriel-Gimli thing is becoming interesting. To keep that interest alive, I'd be inclined to vote for Glorfindel. After all, he had two stints in Middle-earth. That's more than enough exposure. He doesn't need to win Survivor too.

Well Sauce has come up with a more general reason for voting off Glorfindel so come on people! We need an Elf gone. Let Gimli and Galadriel have a little more time together - vote Glorfindel. Galadriel voters change to Glorfindel and get rid of this bothersome know-it-all.

Perhaps it would be easier to vote all three off at once and start anew?

Ahhh, we must save Glorfindel and Galadriel!

++EOWYN

Galadriel has to stay at least as long as Gimli is here. It's not all that often that we get to hear a Dwarf flirting at all, but it's especially rare when an Elf is involved. And as for Glorfindel, I think he deserves time on the island to make up for Arwen's stealing his 15 minutes of movie fame.

Oh, and Sauce, the Elves are insufferably pompous? Let's not forget that Lizzie once made a similar mistake about Mr. Darcy. They really aren't that bad once you get to know them.
