The exciting Day 1 of All Star Survivor was a great start to the game. Many votes were cast, and they were spread out nicely, but the fianl votes were for:

Maglor - 1
Witch-King - 2
Alf - 1
Ori - 6
Arwen - 1
Osse - 1
Smaug -1

Ori will be cast off the "island" today.

Ori got up and started to walk away from his tribe of Hobbit Survivors, carrying only his little flute. As he turned around one last time to say goodbye to his tribe, Ori tripped on his grey cloak and fell of a conveniently placed cliff, never to be seen in a game of Survivor again.

Thus ends Day 1!


The remaining contestants:

From the Lord of the Rings Survivor
Merry
Gimli
Hama
The Witch-King
Gandalf
Arwen

From the Silmarillion Survivor
Maglor
Sauron
Elbereth
Osse
Manwe
Ingwe

From the Hobbit Survivor
Smaug
The Bullroarer
Gloin
Durin
Bofur

From the Second Age Survivor
Tar-Miriel
Celebrimbor
Celebrian
Thorondor
Tar-Aldarion
Ar-Pharazon

From the Minor Works Survivor
Chrysophylax Dives
Goldberry
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Perry-the-Winkle
Princess Pam
Tom Bombadil

**********************************

Day 2 starts now! You have 24 hours to cast your votes!

PS: Day 2 might end a little later tomorrow, it could possibly be extended up to three hours, hopefully not that much, but you never know.

Another dwarf eh? No I think we should really strike at the heart of the elf fan boys and that is none other than Maglor. Think of it if you have another favorite to win it's best to eliminate Maglor now so he isn't left near the end.

++Maglor

What's so bad about the Witch-King?

What, exactly, does the Witch-king do?

His beastie spooked Snowmane causing Theoden's death. He chickened out facing Gandalf. He got snuck up on by a hobbit. He was killed by an opponent he should have crushed. He made a complete fool of himself at the battle of Fornost (in every conceivable way).

I mean, let's face it, the guy was a weenie who was operating on reputation alone. Tolkien himself even said...

(Ha! Managed to work in a quote from The Man himself...beat that! )

I've made cases elsewhere about the Witch-king but the simple fact is that he's a pawn...as it Maglor.

I think this time I will agree with Tuor and vote for

++Durin

He may be deathless, but that doesn't stop him from smelling majorly.
