Well, I like Merry, though I do hold somewhat of a grudge re: the fact that he won LotR survivor whereas Pippin didn't even make it in the all star round. Perhaps this is just as well, because I doubt anyone here wants to see Diamond frothing at the mouth trying to orchestrate a Pippin win (no argument would sway me, sorry, that's just how it is when you're a Pippin fangirl). Regardless, clearly Pippin is the more interesting hobbit of the two and if Pippin can't be around then, well, I'm not sure Merry should be either.
On the other hand, there's Princess Pam. As I said before, I'd rather have had Farmer Giles or the Mewlips or Roverandom or lots of other MW characters around before Pam. She was minor in the minor work and her name still drives me crazy.
And between Merry and Princess Pam... well, Pippin wouldn't vote Merry off at such a point. WWPD. Those are the initials I live by.
+ + Princess Pam
