Actually, it's kind of fitting, either her or Bullroarer, since it's Hobbit Survivor!

The Saucepan Man beat me to it, about getting rid of some more dwarves. So I'll vote Thror, too. I'd like to see Dori be the next dwarf voted off.

Dori is one of the boring contestants that are neither good for veiwers, producers, sponsors or ratings. He is not a strong contestant in the physical challenges nor is he strong in the mental/memory ones. He sits back and lets other take the lead in difficult decisions therefore claiming he has done no one wrong. Dori thinks he'll be kept because he gathers firewood, so what!, there are plenty of others to do that. The same question can be asked of Dori-Has he ever been rollerblading or iceskating? Cause he's been skating by!! (Can't remember exact question). Dori should be the next to go!

++Thror

As for WHY people would want to do it, I could name hundreds of reasons. I can also name at least two people who want to: Saucepan Man and Holbytlass.

*GHASP*

Rational reasons are one thing, gross distortions and outright lies are quite another! You know as well as anybody that Dori won both the Hobbit Carrying and Hobbit Tossing competitions. He was also the first to figure out how to climb up, then down, then up a tree. If that is not a sign of mental alacrity I don’t know what is.

I suggest you rethink your reasons.

On the proverbial quality of that saying we agree, if on nothing else. It is, in fact, my plan in this game, as in the first, to place my votes as strategically as possible to the ruin of the plans most dear to certain villagers- these "certain villagers" changing from day to day, of course. In today's case, that means "off with Thror".

++BOLG

Even if you don't buy the GLOB theory that this so called goblin is in fact a capitalistic destroyer, this becomes essentially a linguistic battle of monosyllabic roots.

BOLG is uneuphonious and cumbersome on the ear. It is not conducive to word-play, poetry, erudition or song. It is not impressive or frightening in the way that Sauron is; it lacks the quaintness of Bert; and the counter-cultural value of Azog. As baddy names go, this one is pretty poor.

THROR seems an evocation of the rockface over which he ruled. A hard, simple name, but yet one tempered with the strength and warlike energy that sums up the Dwarven race. A gruff, uncompromising, and ultimately emotive sound.

Down with boring Bolg!

Besides-Thror lost his Kingdom and died in exile. That's romantic. You've got to appreciate that.

Ah, but Ang, there is another theory about the Bolg issue. Is it not possible that Bolg results from an unfortunate error, handed down by careless storytellers who copied and recopied the Red Book over the ages? Indeed, I believe that Bolg was originally Bold, a uniquely courageous and, well, bold goblin who was known as a hero to the folk of Eriador for holding back his less pleasant fellow goblins before distortions entered the tale. No, no, an evil Bolg is slander to a great leader, whom (by the way) I think should get a chance to win Hobbit Survivor.
