End of Day the Eighth
On the eighth day, the judges continued to batter the Mr. Bliss tribe, converging on Mrs. Knight in a stunning show of solidarity for two of the more canonical characters.
Mrs. Knight: 6 votes Man-in-the-Moon: 2 votes Queen of Faerie: 1 vote And so, whether because of her name, her obscurity, or her banana fetish, Mrs. Knight was shown the door. And after she had seen the door, she was boiled to death in a vat of bleachwater.  Day the Ninth finds 40 contestants shaking in their boots: Farmer Giles of Ham Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham) Gram, his dog The Giant from the Wild Hills King Augustus Bonifacious Chrysophylax Dives The Miller The Parson Sunny Sam (Fabricius Cunctator) The Blacksmith Smith of Wooton Major/Leaf By Niggle Master Cook Rider Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie Smith of Wooton Major Nell Queen of Faerie Niggle Mr. Parish The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (Poems) Goldberry Badger Old Man Willow The Barrow-wight Goodman Maggott Princess Mee Fíriel The Mewlips Troll Roverandom Roverandom The Wizard Artaxerxes The Little Boy Mew, the Seagull Man-in-the-Moon Moon-dog Mer-dog Uin, the Whale Mr. Bliss Girabbit Mr. Day Archie Teddy Bruno Herbert Dorkins Egbert Dorkins Sergeant Boffin

I checked out the number of members on each team, and the TB Adventure Gang has more than the others. Time to change that! I again suggest getting rid of those rapacious
++Mewlips Who wants spooky creatures like those around, and who's to say where they choose their victims?! Why, they belong in a Werewolf game rather than here!

Even in poems they're bad guys.

Like the Roosevelt of that name, he hides a subtle and devious mind behind his geniality and cuddliness. Down, snake!

Hmm. What have you got against Mr Bliss, Ang? Did it give you nightmares or something?
 Having identified a contestant that people are prepared to take action to protect I have no intention of abandoning my quarry. + + THE MAN-IN-THE-MOON He should be maintaining his station on the moon of a night, not out carousing. And what kind of a job is that anyway? Being "in the moon"? What does it involve? Mooning around? Mooning? Pointless at best and discourteous at worst. We should not be encouraging this kind of behaviour.

++ The-Man-in-the-Moon
Because I am obstinate and mule-headed, and want him gone. Also because "Moonies" and "mooning" have some rather unsavoury connotations in our society, and one has to wonder exactly where this man is...

For reasons already said by the werewolf in ghetto armor and the guy who found religion.

 I've considered voting for the mewlips before, but I think the entire Mr. Bliss cast ought to go first. Just because I've never read the book and can't imagine it's any good if it's no better than Roverandom. So.....sine a vote has already been cast in that direction:++ TEDDY |

End of Day the Ninth
The defense of the Man-in-the-Moon waned on the ninth day, allowing a sneak attack by his staunchest detractors:
Man-in-the-Moon: 3 votes The Barrow-wight: 2 votes Teddy: 2 votes The Mewlips: 1 vote And so, the Man-in-the-Moon came down too soon, got spectacularly drunk, and staggered off into the deep jungle, never to be heard from again. Day the Tenth finds 39 remaining contestants: Farmer Giles of Ham Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham) Gram, his dog The Giant from the Wild Hills King Augustus Bonifacious Chrysophylax Dives The Miller The Parson Sunny Sam (Fabricius Cunctator) The Blacksmith Smith of Wooton Major/Leaf By Niggle Master Cook Rider Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie Smith of Wooton Major Nell Queen of Faerie Niggle Mr. Parish The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (Poems) Goldberry Badger Old Man Willow The Barrow-wight Goodman Maggott Princess Mee Fíriel The Mewlips Troll Roverandom Roverandom The Wizard Artaxerxes The Little Boy Mew, the Seagull Moon-dog Mer-dog Uin, the Whale Mr. Bliss Girabbit Mr. Day Archie Teddy Bruno Herbert Dorkins Egbert Dorkins Sergeant Boffin

Do I hear some celebrating? Yes I do! And it's coming from the Formendacil in the crowd...
Anyway, I love seeing my chosen candidate voted off. Considering my oft-contrary tactic of voting, it's sometimes been a rather rare event. And the veterans of Suvivor: The Second Age can attest to my habit of gloating after a particularly successful day. (Galadriel, anyone? )Now, how to repeat this delightful event. How about... ++ Sergeant Boffin A transplanted Hobbit if I've ever seen the name of one. "Boffin"? Really, we should send him back to where he belongs: the Legendarium.

Sounds like a horrible evolutionary mistake. Imagine the myximatosis or however you spell it long necked leaf-eating rabbits could transmit...
