Survivor: Surviving the Minor Works

[Tuor in Gondolin]

+ + Herbert Dorkins

Putting him out of his misery. He obviously
had sadistic parents, saddling him with a
name like Herbert Dork...ah, Dorkins.

[The Saucepan Man]

I see that, not content with voting of the - er - portly contestants, people are now victimising any of the contestants who don't quite fit in, in the form of the Mewlips, the Girabbit and, now, unforgiveably, the friendly neighbourhood Giant.

This cannot be tolerated. I call upon all those who have ever felt misunderstood or mistreated by society's "norms", those who have been labelled misfits or troublemakers or wierd or geeky by those who simply don't understand them, to resist this senseless victimisation of the underdogs.

(Yes, it's the " proud geeks unite" defence again. )

My own preference is to vote again for ...

+ + SMITH OF WOOTON MAJOR

... who spent far too much time off on a frivolous frolic, when he should have been tending to the "real life" concerns of his job and his family.

But I will change my vote to protect, if I can, the poor, misunderstood Giant, who was only taking a refreshing stroll when he was rudely interrupted by an overly aggressive farmer with a dangerous (and most likely unlicenced) blunderbuss.

Although this forum has generally seen or discussed this horrid beast very little, I can assure you that his presence is felt elsewhere, and even on the 'Downs his shadow occasionally looms...

++ Troll

Offtopic and spiteful. Enough said.

++Troll.

My job is being stolen by the dang guy.

++The Giant from the Wild Hills

For stomping noisily all over the island, eating half of what his tribe catches, and complaining about not being able to fit in the shelter.

[Diamond18]

Despite impassioned pleas for the "misunderstood", the fourteenth day marked the departure of not one but two oafish fellows:

Troll: 3 votes

The Giant from the Wild Hills: 3 votes

Smith of Wooton Major: 1 vote

His wife, Nell: 1 vote

Herbert Dorkins: 1 vote

And so, as Troll sat alone on his seat of stone, munching and mumbling on a bare old bone, the Giant squished him to an indiscernible patty whilst walking by. The Giant then slipped because of the gooey slick of Troll-flesh on his foot, and tumbled off a cliff into the ocean.

Well, since you want to get rid of some of the arrogant characters, let's go for

++Princess Mee

Honestly, do we need someone who's always looking at her own reflection, Narcissus-style, and talking to herself because she thinks that's the only person worth talking to? Besides, she's obsessed with what she's wearing - and isn't it unpractical for survival training?! Let's put her on the fan fiction forum, where she belongs, and let the Mary Sue hunters get her.
