While there are other people I could do without - Arwen (bbok or movie) is going to have to get the vote. Unless one of the challenges involve sewing she is going to be in the chocolate teapot category of usefulness. And she is a disruptive influence. For some reason none of the guys seem to focus on the task when she is around. Also she insists on sittting alone under the one canopy the tribe have managed to rig up with their basic equipment and the basic rice rations are incompatible with her trendy diet.

She has to go.

I don't see why you are so down on Thranduil. Even if he wasn't thinking of the consequence of his ... err...actions, Legolas has long reached the age of discretion so I think is high time that Legolas was blamed for Legolas rather than his father.
And book Legolas is unobjectionable, only the film version is "Prince Legolas the Perpetually Confused, Officer in Charge of Stating the Blindingly Obvious and Designated Dumb Blond.

How ironic if Arwen goes and the next day's task involves the creation of a standard for a returning king ...

Everyone just jumps on the band-wagon to vote Arwen off. Hm, there's something suspicious about that.

Anyway, I shall have to vote Gollum. Though his constant preciousss may amuse some of you, I simply find it annoying that before every immunity challenge he has to have an extended debate with himself whether he has to do his best or screw it up for the others. He's just an unreliable teamplayer. At least with Sauron we know what we're dealing with. Also, who put him in charge of meals? I'd like my fish not so raw for once, thank you.

There is always the possibility that a lot of people find Arwen annoying. I found film Arwen annoying ( Liv Tyler has one of those faces I just want to smack to make it look surprised for a reason - though I do feel a bit mean since she does seem from what one can tell to be a remarkably grounded person especially given her unorthodox background), whereas book Arwen is merely dull.

Cailin - I think you may be playing the wrong game ......

Surely if the next day's task involves a standard we can just have Elrond come up with one. Arwen is a bit whiny, she's disobedient, she sits in her tent on her tushy while other people do her tasks, & the way she refuses to stop distracting Aragorn brings up memories of Rob & Amber. Arwen has to go.

Sorry, I was running a bit later than intended, but voting is closed, and I will count up the votes and see who the first cast off is.

Estel, it's movie, with the Pinky Gothmog.

Lotho- 2
Gollum- 2
Frodo- 1
Radagast- 1
Alatar- 1
Thranduil- 1
Gandalf- 1
Grishnakh- 1

Arwen, has been chosen, the members could not take her whininess and stealing Glorfindel's horse. And for being so darn attractive The tribe has spoken, Arwen, has been voted off.

So, who's left...

Hobbits:
Frodo
Sam
Merry
Pippin
Bilbo
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins
Lotho Sackville-Baggins
Gollum

Men and Rohan Lady:
Aragorn
Boromir
Denethor
Faramir
Theoden
Eomer
Eowyn
Grima
Hama

Wizards:
Gandalf
Saruman
Radagast
Alatar
Pallando

Badguys:

Voting for the next cast-off may begin. Books or movies can apply, with characters from both. Again, Gothmog the orc in the movie, not the Balrog, I suppose I should make that more clear...

++Grima

He's always making alliances, and then breaking them. You can't tell whose side he's on. He's really ugly looking, and making the tribe vommit. Moreso, he just looks untrustworthy!
