You know, it's dreadfully dull when everyone votes in the same way ...
So I'll be different.
++Tom Bombadil
For failure to apply himself to the tasks and camp duties. He's always off in the jungle talking to otters and chatting up some river-woman's daughter. He's completely lost interest in the competition. It's clearly of no import to him. And what does he add to the show? Nothing. Happily there are no carnivorous trees or barrow-wights on the island and, even if there were, the Ents and Sauron respectively could deal with them. The novelty factor of his outrageous costume has worn out, not least because his yellow boots are now covered in mud, and all those ring-a-ding-dillo's are beginning to grate.
It's time for him to go.
