I don't find any of the Survivors particularly inspiring and, after all that has been said and done, I cannot bring myself to vote for the Angmod's pet.

Indeed, voting for his favourite seems like betraying yourself. That's the major thing speaking against Maglor. Angmod made him go this far by manipulating, which takes some skill. But I'm not going to care about who's on who's side this last time, I'm just going to vote for the one most worthy. Notice "most worthy", not worthy.

And Formendacil is right when saying that Sauron is a survivor. He is, but since when have the people being able to survive on an island for real won the TV-version of survivor? It's hasn't happened yet in the Swedish version. Therefore I vote with my heart. Well, actually I like Elrond more but his such a newbie in survivor

Out of all the remaining individuals the one with the most honor, most worth, and the one most willing to be the ultimate survivor is none other than that magestic sone of feanor ++Maglor He was able to willingliy give up a silmaril in the end. He was able to calm his brother down when he was upset about the advocating of his throne by gilg-galad the unjust. And he hsd kept a calm spirit and a wise mind the entire game.

Last survivor of the brave Valkyries.

Maglor I can see the point of voting for, but why the creepy lieutenant? I see the Sauron of the First Age as a kind of Igor figure, slinking obsequiously behind the mighty Morgoth, rubbing his hands and saying 'yes Master.'
Yuck.

Looking ahead, so Sam and Frodo have someone to cheer them up away in the future, (later in this same story that goes on, with new characters).

You still have some time to vote-I'll declare the winner tomorrow morning.

Just to let everyone know that I will be starting Hobbit Survivor soon after this is over. I just have one question for everyone before we start. Do you want more people than all those involved? Or do we want to figure out another way of lengthining the game because I'm telling you now that this will be a fairly short game. What say you?

Actually, I think a Hobbit Survivor could be about as long,
if, for example, various incidents in TH are featured
(the meeting at Bilbo's -does someone get poisoned?

-
Trolls, Rivendell, Goblins, warg meeting place, Eagles aerie,
Beorn, etc.).

Of course, for the dwarves it could end up being a
version of Agatha Christie's "Ten little Indians"/ "And then
there were none."
