LOTR Survivor

[the guy who be short]

Now, now. I like Gimli. Others like Pippin. Nobody cares about Hama.

The best thing to do would be to all agree to kick of Hama, leaving us with three interesting candidates in the final round. Can anybody think of a good reason he should stay over one of the other three?

Thought so.

++Hama

I should really just leave this thread and come back later when I'm not riled up.

Yes, actually. So that as many races as possible last to the end. So that someone, if only Hama, can be here to represent all the awesome characters that were kicked off from that group. You know, if...never mind.

I meant a non politically correct reason.

Oh yes. I'm just chilling it in the fridge as I write. You know, the dish best eaten cold and all that.

[Anguirel]

You have the right of it, m'lady.

Saucie, if this is an anticlimactic finish, know that you, weeding out anyone interesting but your candidate, have caused it.

But I would contend that Gimli, Lord of Aglarond, deserves victory now; and that the comeuppance of the Pan Man is long, long overdue.

Goodness me! Calm down everyone! It's only a game (show).

Er, I was rather under the impression that it was you who was attributing your vote to your (seemingly endless) quest to avenge yourself on me.

Yeah, but Sam got kicked off early in the show. (He got voted off by a majority, might I add, not just one (my) vote. Sheesh! I am really being given far to much credit for the way the voting has gone than I deserve here.) That being the case, of the remaining contestants, Pippin best represents the theme in my opinion.

Am I to feel flattered? Or am I flattering myself again?

I am sorry that you still hold Galadriel's eviction against me, Lal (even though mine was, again, only one vote amongst many). But I don't go in for positive discrimination. All these arguments about keeping so-and-so because they are the only female left leave me cold. If I don't like a contestant, I'll vote for them whatever their gender.

I might point out that (unlike some that I could mention) I have never voted for a contestant purely to spite a fellow viewer. I have voted for those who I felt deserved to go and to try to protect my favoured contestant. If I have upset people by doing so (and clearly I have), well tough. That's the way these things go.

Assuming that Pip goes today (which looks likely), I really have no preference for who wins the thing. Whoever wins out of the three, I would not feel unduly upset, but neither would I feel overly enthusiastic. As I said, just as in "real" Reality Shows, we end up with a compromise candidate. And that, my dear Ang, is most certainly not solely down to me, but to everyone who has participated in the voting.

[Anguirel]

I'm not voting Pippin purely to spite you, Saucie...alright, maybe largely, but not purely.

There is the fact that he's an irritating hairy little waistcoated pocket-watch wearing credit-stealing whining scion of the decadent and debauched Thaindom. Down with him and his ilk!

Of course, Saucie my dear. And you are by no means the only victim on my list.

Scandalous! I would never stoop so low as to misrepresent the facts like that.
