A good and noble elfwoman, but the least outstanding in Middle Earth of those contestants left.

I must concur that it's time to knock down a sacred cow, in this case literally so (

).

+ + GALADRIEL

After all, she treated her husband appallingly, the poor fellow.

Furthermore, she stifled the realm of Lorien and all who dwelt within it with her obsession with preserving it and trying to turn it in to some kind of Valinor on Middle-earth. If she wanted to live in Valinor she should have stayed there. But no. She wanted to rule her own realm, which she could not do in Valinor. That hardly shows humility, now, does it?

And her efforts to "embalm" Lorien were totally contrary to the natural order of things, which requires change, via the cycle of life, to renew and referesh. All she achieved was to stifle and stultify.

Given half a chance, she will no doubt try to do the same with the Survivor Island. She must be stopped!

As she herself observed, she'd make one scary-mama
if given too much power.

Galadriel has long based herself on her pride, and with the time passed on the island and her still remaining, that pride has most likely become the fuel for an ego trip. Such a thing puts her in danger, and so she is the enemy of all on the island.

++Galadriel.

Now that she no longer has her husband around to dominate, her more aggressive tendencies no longer have a healthy outlet and she will not be able to keep her dark side in check. Galadriel is full of dangerous, barely restrained Dark Lordess power. Maybe she ought to go diffuse it somewhere else.
