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.

++Sauron

I think we can agree he is the worst of the worst among the contestants. He corrupted a whole nation. Things got so bad that Eru himself intervened and destroyed Numenor. It was he who ordered the werewolf murders of all of Beren's companions. He made the Uruks. The whole land of Mordor is a testimony of his great evil. On this second day we should cut off evil by its head instead of voting off a mere puppet, a venerable Dwarf Patriarch, a great craftsmen, and a victim of the Orcs. Who knows what kind of unspeakable torture she endured?

Come on, with a name like that, he's the most magnificent? More like Morewennie, but skip the mustard 'cause this ain't no hot dog.
