Boromir88 · 09-29-2005, 05:20 AM

Ahhh, Boromir bandwagon!!! Is it because he's a wolf?

Although, the main reason for keeping Boromir around was because he created a lot of tension. But with Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, and Elrond gone, he has no one left to fight and argue with. Plus his constant winning of the Challenges got real old, and as soon as he lost the Limbo to Gloin it was all over.

++Boromir

Firefoot · 09-29-2005, 05:27 AM

++TREEBEARD

No bandwagoning for me today. Come on, people, vote out Treebeard. I'm getting tired of seeing him around.

Now that was actually a rather interesting contest, because it came down to a fight between Gloin and Lobelia, and I do not think they could have even lowered the bar any more, unfortunately, when the handle of Lobelia' s umbrella got caught on the bar, the game was over.

But having said that, I agree with firefoot, we have had that old slow ent slowing us down for quite some time, and he was the worst one in the Limbo contest

Thinlómien · 09-29-2005, 07:13 AM

Oh no, you're voting Boromir off! That's unfair! Since of my faves Gandalf has been voted off, Galadriel is in danger that's pretty unfair!

...

I'll continue my campaign against ++Pallando. He's really a nobody and he didn't even do his work properly and he has a stupid bailando-name...

The hazards of supporting a proven cheat and generally disreputable sort.

How amusing that Boro voted for himself.

I wonder, have people started giving thought to the end-game yet? Boro has confirmed that, when we get to the final three, we will be voting for a winner. The sensible course will be to work towards eliminating any serious competition for your preferred winner (ie the popular ones).

Anguirel · 09-29-2005, 08:44 AM

I say we vote out Merry and Pippin soon, to ensure the winner is someone filmgoers have never heard of...

There is such a thing as being too Machiavellian, Saucie. I'm planning on campaigning for my three favourites so that whichever way it goes, I'll still be happy.

It's time for him to go, if for no other reason then to end this debate and move on to the next one.

Of course, that reasoning applies equally to Faramir ...

I'm beginning to doubt that, Lal.

But, to be fair, it's standard practice for most regular viewers of "audience vote" Reality Shows these days.

You're confident that your favourites will make it through then?

I wish I could say the same, but I always tend to support the underdogs in these kinds of affairs.

Does not. Filmgoers know Faramir, if they're intelligent, as "that chap in green, y'know, Sean Bean's brother..."

Well I wouldn't go that far. I'm spreading my bets: I've got around five that I'm prepared to fight for. I hope at least one of them, if not two, will make the final.

And they know Merry and Pippin as the two short wise-cracking comedy side-kicks. And Treebeard as the tree-dude who had to be tricked into fighting. And Hama as the guy who got eaten by a Hyena - er - Wolf-thing. And Eomer as "Who's Eomer?" ...

Need I go on?

Ah, but Eomer was at least in the show. Why not support Quickbeam and press for his winning? He wasn't even mentioned. You'll really boggle the movie-goers then, if thats your pursuit.

You see. His supporters know his true nature.

And love it. Naughty but nice! Makes good viewing.

Besides, the twist in that particular tale is that Faramir, so rich that indolence is becoming boring, dons his old Ranger kit and secretly becomes an outlaw thwarting his own financiers and redistributing the gold among grateful hobbits, who know him as "Robyn Good".

Who would have thunk...but I'm strategically planning who I want to win this thing. Surprisingly it isn't Boromir.

I'm going to trust Anguirel's vote. I was about to count, but I'll put my faith he did a thorough and precise count.

Boromir88 · 09-29-2005, 03:21 PM

I'm going to have to close up shop early. I don't think we'll see a drastic swing in voting to change the outcome of this one.

Also, Friday I'll be away, if Glirdan is unable to fill in somebody mind stepping up for that day?

So, the tribe hath spoken...with Gimli's final words at Boromir's departure "Disco is Dead." He went into a maddening rage. He tried to jump over the fire pit, but his cloak caught on fire, not knowing what to do he ran straight until he fell off the cliff.

Well what's the interest out there in getting rid of Lobelia out if not her I say Faramir. With Lobelia, seriously she's an onery old hag that only complains. I'm getting rather annoyed at her constant complaints and ratings are lowering due to this fact.
