Silmaril End of Day the First

The inaugural day of Minor Works Survivor began slowly, with the judges warily eyeing many of the unfamiliar contestants. Votes, when they came, were varied. At the end, two unlucky characters ended up tied:

Tom Bombadil: 2 votes

Princess Pam: 2 votes

Sunny Sam: 1 vote

The Mewlips: 1 vote

The Giant from the Wild Hills: 1 vote

The Sea-serpent: 1 vote

And so, Tom and Pam were literally trussed up together and heaved into the Sea. Tom gave a cry of "Hey derry dol!" with a mysterious wink and Pam, being the Princess of the Sea, simply smiled as she returned to her home with a mighty splash.

Day the Second finds 50 remaining contestants:


Farmer Giles of Ham

Ćgidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)

++Sea-serpent.

Stop eating the people on our beaches. Middle-Earth is losing economy.

++MR BINKS

Along with the rest of his villainous crew, this shady character refuses to reveal his first name. He's obviously a Colombian coke dealer, a Mafioso or a CIA operative.

See you, Giovanni! Not so blasted secretive now!

I suggest we send

++Perry-the-Winkle

away.

He is definitely not thinking of the general welfare of the others, since he eats up all of the food and leaves none for his fellow villagers.

Not only is he inconsiderate of Niggle during his lifetime, but he goes and plagues him in his afterlife too.

The S.P.O.C.S.T. (Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Stone Trolls) sees this vote as a preemptive
strike against future trolls being confused by terms
such as "Burra-hobbits" which tend to
confuse their not capacious intellects.

P.S. Food for thought: for future Survivors, what about an
all-girl Survivors, all-hobbit, and perhaps the most
interesting (certainly the bloodiest) an all-orc Survivor?
