I mean, this is All Star, isn't it? Bofur made it to the Sweet 16. That's honourable, but it should be as good as it gets for a character like him. Let him go with dignity!

Day 15

Day 15 has now ended and the race was close but in the end it would be Bofur who would be leaving the island.

Bofur - 9
Gandalf - 6
Smaug - 1
Durin - 1

"Bofur", the producers told him, "we know you've done a lot of sleuthing in your days and your rugged good looks contribute to the overall sex appeal of our show but most of us just simply find you useless." "And besides," another producer chimed in, "we have far too many dwarves as it is". In his normal stoic stride Bofur left the island with a sense of his splendor and grandeur lingering far after he had disappeared in the darkness.

The remaining contestants:

From the Lord of the Rings Survivor
Gimli
Hama
Gandalf

From the Silmarillion Survivor
Elbereth
Osse
Ingwe

From the Hobbit Survivor
Smaug
Gloin
Durin

From the Second Age Survivor
Tar-Miriel
Celebrian
Thorondor

From the Minor Works Survivor
Chrysophylax Dives
Goldberry

***************************************

Contestants already voted off
Ori
Witch-king
Tom Bombadil
Maglor
Celebrimbor
Manwe
Ar-Pharazon
Princess Pam
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Arwen

I've been wondering... we all know that Celebrían received a poisoned wound by the orcs which made her leave for Valinor. But what poisons are orcs able to brew that exceed Elrond's skills in healing? I don't think this is very believable. Celebrían was a Xanthippe and a domestic tyrant and at last Elrond was happy to have found a pretence to be delivered from her.

Do we want such a person to win? I do not.

++Celebrían


Whether or not we want to see somebody uncloaked is not a good measure, in my opinion

Or whether it's Gandalf, or the professor's character that wishes to uncloak in the first place. Could it be more likely that some of the happy BD'ers themselves should be voted out because of filling places with the uncloaking-jokes?

Am I the only one to think that once a character has won once, s/he shouldn't be doing so again? If that's the case, Tar-Miriel, Smaug, and Chrysophylax are due to go...

Even though it doesn't seem like anyone but Gandalf is likely to go today...

He's a bit of a vindictive brat, if you know what I mean. You'd think he'd be happy to work with Ulmo... but no...

Still to early for wizards, dragons, and ancient ancestors. Minor deities are however a dime a dozen.

I certainly do NOT, however, adhere to the theory that if someone has won before s/he should not win again. If they're good, they're good!

Just to make a few points about Ossë:

1) As stated in Valaquenta: "He does not go in the deeps" - so he's superficial?
2) He may be loved by the mariners or those at the mercy of the sea eg. the Numenorians (forcefully, by one's own interests to mainly save oneself from his unpredictability?), but is not trusted because of his random rage.
3) He was lured by Melkor and caused much harm but then became soothed by his wife's bidding.

So Ossë is someone with nasty or selfish predilections but no strength to hold a mind of his own, an opportunistic Maia just trying to please others around him and maximise his comfort and the lack of risks while striving to personal power and worship.

A more powerful Wormtongue, I say! And anyhow, a weak personality not worthy of winning this competition...

++ Ossë

There is another dangerous voting block forming, what is wrong with Osse? He's unpredictable? Great! Better to entertain. What does Gandalf do? He's drab, and mutters to himself idly all day long, his beard is overly long, and absolutely no sex appeal. However Osse is perfect because all the guys want to be him and the girls think that they can change him.

I have to agree with morm on this. Having Osse around could provide major entertainment. He's fiesty, he once had an evil side and so many other qualities. I say keep the fiesty around and get rid of the uncloaker.

Again?

Well, alright, let her win if you like...

Once again the day seems to go the route of a head-to-head bandwaggon race. So be it, Gandalf or Osse then.
I share the opinion of morm, which scares me a little. What entertainmental value (uncloaking jokes don't count in this department) does Gandalf have? An occasional fool-of-a-took just isn't enough.

Eomer, I have two questions on that.

Is he the Squiggy of Middle-earth?

Are our rating that low to bring a new person on to spice things up?

I vote to bring on the Chief Warg.

How could anyone wan't to get rid of Gandalf? He's one of the greatest characters in Tolkien's works. Just the whole idea of a wizard is so magnificent... It's not his fault that somebody made a bad joke about him anyway... (...I'm again siding with other people, not like me...) So, to protect Gandalf for atleast this one day. I wote Osse down!

Gandalf was a bigger failure than Frodo! What did he do that actually worked that he can claim was his work? He didn't defeat a balrog...the balrog defeated himself. He really didn't do much at Helm's Deep except to come and get the stragglers. The Hurons really did the work their. He failed with Boromir and let him loose himself. He, instead of lending his aid, let four unaware hobbits take on ruffians and an ex-wizard who still had some power, why risk it? Just be done with it. He failed Frodo in that he wasn't there to aid him and were it not for Samwise, who sadly isn't in the mix, the entire quest would have failed. The only thing that Gandalf did that wasn't a failure was his fireworks.

Maybe we could bring on the Chief Warg and Squiggy. That's, like, ratings bonanza!
