We know very little about Dwalin son of Fundin, but what little we know bears out that he is a rather cruel and perverse character.

I am speaking, of course, of the statement that he was a blue beard.

Dwalin Bluebeard, or Bluebeard as we know him today, is best remembered for his longtime habit of marrying, and then summarily locking up and killing his wives. In a species as devoid of females as the Dwarven race is, this is a very serious crime.

Indeed, one has to wonder if Dwalin's main motivation for joining Thorin's company was the prospect of meeting the Iron Hills Dwarves, and finding a new population of Dwarven females to prey on.

It was clearly out of desperation for the family honour that his brother Balin left Erebor in search of Khazad-dum, rather than the prospect of mithril, as rumoured in Rivendell. That Dwalin, Balin's closest kin, remained behind is telling, for the number of females on the expedition must have been few, if any.

Away with this pervert!

++ Dwalin Bluebeard, son of Fundin

I am a fan of dwarfs but when you vote of one of my favorite hobbit character I get mad.

Glirdan, in future, I'd like it if ties resulted in two evictions. It deals justice to both warring camps and makes the game progress faster. But that's just my view...
That sounds fair to me. Double eviction it is.

I would never have suspected it.

I would go with Dwalin. Killing female dwarves is almost genocide! By killing dwarves, we will lose a race that has long made crafts of beauty.

Once again, I'm sorry for the lateness of this. I didn't have computer access until today. I'll have the post up shortly.

Day 15

To a few people's great surprise, Dwalin was the one who got the most criticism. "He's useless!!! Useless I say!!" one said. "He's got a BLUE beard!! Even for Dwarves that's not a very common characteristic!!! And he didn't even die to give himself a good reputation!!!" Balin stated. "And Bilbo is gone!! This is for Bilbo!!!" Belladonna yelled!!! That night, the votes weren't surprising, no matter how spaced out they were:

Elrond - 1
Bard - 3
Bombur - 1
Dwalin - 9
Bifur - 1

"So what!? I have to go die to get myself a good name!? If that's what it takes to please you, I will!!!" And before anyone could stop him, Dwalin ran off into the jungle and wasn't seen again. No one knows what happened to him. Some say he fell off a cliff when he was crying, some say he was bit by a poisonous snake. However, everyone did feel that Dwalin, was in fact, dead.

Contestants voted out:
Bofur
Ori
Durin (The first King Under the Mountain)
Nori
Fundin
Gandalf
Nain (father of Dain)
Bungo Bagins
Chief of Guards
Thorin
Bilbo
Golfimbul
Carc
Gollum
The Master
Dwalin

The remaining contestants:

Dwarves
Balin
Bifur
Bombur
Dain
Dori
Fili
Gloin
Kili
Oin
Thrain (father of Thorin)
Thror (grandsire of Thorin)

Men/Elves
Bard
Beorn
Elrond
Galion (Elvenking's Butler)
Elvenking
Girion

Bad Guys
Azog
Bert
Bolg
Great Goblin
Chief Warg
Smaug
William
Tom

Others
Eagle Lord
Roac
Necromancer
Belladonna Took
Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor)
Old Took

It's the start of Day 16. Today's voting will go on until tomorrow night and end at around an hour later than usual, hopefully. I have Christmas concert to perform in and I'm there all night because I play right off the bat and right at the end. Another thing, incase you missed that post. In the case of a tie, I will be eliminating both people, unless it's three. If it's three people or more, it will be the ONE who got the most votes.
