Who do you think would be a good 'second' choice to bear the ring to Mordor.

[Oroaranion]

If any of you have taken any attention to The Council of Elrond in the Fellowship (book version), Elrond and I believe Gnadalf, say that it was fate that Frodo was menat to carry the Ring, and that everything happens for a reason. No-one else would have been able to carry the ring.

Samwise reluctantly gave the One up after such a short time when he gave it back to Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol.

Any other hobbits would not have taken the situation seriously enough, naming no names. *cough*Merry and Pippin*cough*

Aragorn would have lost his will to the Ring, just like Isildur.

Legolas was not a good idea, can't think of a good reason why yet.

Boromir would have done the same as Aragorn.

Gandalf was offered the Ring, but if he had it, instead of a Dark Lord, the world would be subjected to extreme goodness everywhere.

Eagles would be to obvious, as would Elrond and any other Elf.
