The reason I think "he's evil" differs from something such as "he's black" etc. is that being evil is a bad thing. Being black is not. The evildoers such as Sauron and the Witch-King and Morgoth were ultimately the losers in Tolkien's works because not only did they die (as good guys die as well) everything they stood for was defeated as well. In Tolkien's works, good wins out in the end.

Ergo, someone who so obviously lost, not only his personal life but was defeated in his mission, doesn't deserve to win Survivor.

Sure, I think the Witch-King is wicked cool. But he's one of the bad guys, and in Tolkien, the bad guys don't win.

I don't see Celebrian as a final champion. But she should lose out to someone more worthy than the Witch-King -- someone who was also one of the good guys.

Anyway, that's why I think being evil is in itself a good enough reason to vote him off.

I do accept your apology. I just don't take allegations of racism lightly so I had to speak out on it.
