Boots "SHRIEEEEK!!!" go the producers

One of the most vitally important viewing groups is hopping mad!! The producers and advertisers are having fits of the vapors!!

I speak, of course, of the all-important "Paunchy, balding middle-aged husband" viewers. They are fit to be tied over the continuing presence of that manly-man, not-at-all-paunchy, aggressively hairy, and utterly single hunk...Beorn!! The wives can't get enough of him and the husbands have had all they can stand and they can't stand no more!!!

The producers have all curled up into tiny balls in the corner and are whimpering pathetically!! The advertisers have fainted so much that they've run the world out of smelling salts!!

We must ease their passing...uhh, suffering!!

Whatever works...

I think it's a blatant case of "OK, a Dwarf can go, but it has to be my Dwarf" by Saucey, but...

Well, yes, in a way. I would prefer to see Kili go today rather than Gloin. That's why I voted for Kili rather than Gloin. Isn't that kind of the point of the show?

I'm prepared to reconsider should another Dwarf emerge as favourite for today's eviction. But don't bank on me changing my vote, as I am unlikely to be on much, if at all, over the next few days.

As for Tom, well I have no major issue with him being voted off. He is the least interesting of the two remaining Trolls. But I do think it sensible to continue thinning out the Dwarves before focusing on the less well-represented races/creatures.

I just think your preferences are undermining the wider Dwarf-evicting cause! We could have swept off on a united Gloin bandwagon. Believe me, votes for Kili will be harder to achieve.

Poppycock, my dear Kuru. The wives are still watching, the wives do the shopping. The advertisers are happy as mudlarks.

Now, let us get rid of the self-centered ulcer of The Hobbit. In addition to all the arguments that have been presented against him, every decent bear has been asleep for a long time now and if he starts to snore, this show will be far from entertainment. Therefore:

*gasp* Blatantly sexist remark!!! Please allow me to make my own...

The husbands do all the earning and are threatening to cut up all the wives credit cards! In fact, they now have an activist group (Furious and Tubby or F.A.T.) that is calling on enraged anti-Beorn husbands everywhere to do just that!! F.A.T. will not be stopped until Beorn has been given the unceremonious ejection he so richly deserves.

(I have a feeling I'm about to accomplish my goal of removing any semblance of sanity from this thread. )

What's this? An ancient bandwaggon, long forgotten? How I remember the days of trying to vote this furry bugger off of the island, but it appears that such attempts were for naught, and the Beorning Menace remains as potent as ever!

Let us rid ourselves of this long-since-he-should-have-been-gone bandwaggon, so that there's room in the garage for another.
