Announcer: And we’re back to Second Age Survivor, brought to you by Hack-n-Cough, your cure for the common cold. I’m joined in the booth by Bob…

Color Commentator: Hello.

Announcer: And on the sidelines by…wooboy! by the lovely in black leather Amanda!

Sideline Reporter: Bye losers! I’m off to a rock concert to find myself a real man…or throw my room key…and other things, at the band members. If that doesn’t work then I’ll stand in line after the show is over and maybe one of the band members will autograph my leg! Point is, I’m splittin’.

walks off

Announcer: She can’t do that! Security! Stop her!

Officer Walley and Mr. Billy Club attempt to tackle the Sideline Reporter. The Sideline Reporter administers one swift kick to the YEEEEEOUCH!! and Officer Walley drops to his knees. The Sideline Reporter finishes him off with another kick to the head.

Color Commentator: I guess she can do that.

Announcer: What is your analysis?

Color Commentator: I think this so-called League might be in a spot of bother. They seem to be earnestly defending the Noldor, even though this will ultimately lead to disaster as surely as, well, as your love life is going to go down the tubes Bob.

smack

Color Commentator: Anyway, we can already see this process beginning. Multiple Noldor are now being mentioned as potential eviction candidates. Particularly troublesome from the perspective of this so-called League is the repeated intervention of Elu Ancalime against Elrond. Sooner or later persistence will pay off. Also alarming from the perspective of the League is the intervention of dancing spawn. She is dangerous because she has an uncanny ability to draw people over to her side. I think this may be the beginning of the end for Glorfindel unless somebody can convince her otherwise. While these are trends, at the moment Erendis has emerged as a serious candidate for eviction today.

Announcer: That’s enough from you! And now for a report from Amanda!

Amanda?

Hello?

Oh, yeah…right. weeps

Color Commentator: Oh, get over it! We’ll be right back.

I wish to announce, incidentally, that I am not affiliated with this League and have very little idea what is going on, but that I am undoubtedly enjoying it.

Oh and Kuru, Bob needs to get Amanda back, otherwise ratings will collapse, and your security just isn't up to it. I'd be happy to undertake to to track her down and tempt her back into this game.

Black leather transcends petty differences...

Also sometimes known as the "Heroic Resistance of Individual Freethinkers." Apparently they are so disorganized they can't get their name straight.

EDIT: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to track down one Amanda Bobblehead. I'd suggest looking in all the concerts in the greater Middle-earth area. Be wary, while she normally has dark brown hair with blonde highlights, she will undoubtedly have dyed her hair a shocking shade of pink in order to confuse...practically everybody. You will need to be wearing armor as subject is likely to resist violently. *clanks down large, cumbersome sensitive area protector* Never take this off while you are on your mission.

This post will self-destruct in thirty seconds.

No, Kuru, you're confused. The League is a League. An alliance like yours, it seems.

The Heroic Resistance is a wider concept. A cause.

Now how about my offer?

You're just trying to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Perhaps. But surely it's better to appeal generally to a sense of justice than to bind thralls in vassalage?

And mum's the word. Donning Galvorn mail. I'll be setting off from Andunie in just under an hour...

Okay, I'm kind of confused with all these Alliances, Leagues and 'wider concepts'.

The League of Extraordinary Barrow-Downers wishes to kill-
+ + FUINUR
So, there's a League of Extraordinary Barrow-Downers that chooses a target every day and every League member then votes for him or her. And then there's the Alliance thing that acts about the same way. Interesting. Or a bit boring, perhaps. Then at the end of a day the group that has more members gets their candidate voted off, and there is much rejoicing? Splendid. But what about us lone wolves?

Really, what does a girl have to do to get some support nowadays -- join a trade-union?

Ah, but every show must have the snappish one who is never happy with the way things are. Other contestants and even the viewers make her the official scapegoat whom they can blame for, I don't know, wars, global warming... anything they can think of. Don't you think that keeping her around would be good for people's mental health? Plus, at least this lady has some temper unlike a certain Noldo. *coughGlorfindelcough*
