Now!

+ + NIGGLE

Because he niggles me.

Sorry, lmp, I prefer the thought of evicting Smith to saving Giles. But I am willing to treat if you are prepared to consider some of the more heavyweight contenders. How about a vote for Niggle in return for an agreement to lay off Smith for another day?

Done and done.

-- BADGER
++ NIGGLE


I should do a quick vote tally and see if there's now a double eviction in the works.

EDIT: I think we have one!
Badger, 3: (Esty, lmp, Bethberry)
Niggle, 3: (Formendacil, SPM, me)
Smith, 1: (Ang)

To cause a double-eviction on the island, mwahahaha.

Silmaril End of Day the Twenty-Sixth

Not quite, Alc

Niggle: 4 votes

Badger: 3 votes

Smith of Wootton Major: 1 vote

And so, Niggle was turned over to some men in suits, who made him take a long journey full of metaphorical mishmash that Diamond never had much patience for anyway....


Day the Twenty-Seventh finds 17 contestants remaining:


The Major Minor Works

Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)
Gram, his dog
Chrysophylax Dives
The Parson
Master Cook Rider
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Smith of Wootton Major
Nell
Queen of Faerie

The More Minor Minor Works

Goldberry
Badger
Fíriel
The Wizard Artaxerxes
Moon-dog
Mr. Day
Teddy
Bruno

We have a problem here. Viewers are turning off in their droves because the show is becoming too whimsical. Not at all how a reality show should be. And the contestants are failing all their tasks and likely to starve to death due to a excess of dreamers over practical types (balance in all things ...).

The reason? The influence of Smith of Wootton Major (the book) is too strong.

The solution? Eliminate a character from that book. Preferably a whimsical one.

Now, I agreed with lmp not to vote for Smith himself today.

So ...

+ + Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie

I guess the time has come. Sorry, TORE.

++ ALF


Reasoning from before applies.

Why get rid of scary Elf kings when you can scrap whining young women?
