++Celebrimbor, for reasons previously stated and general massive hubris.

Firefoot · 04-03-2006, 02:00 PM

++Anarion

For not really contributing that much. He's not even a character that you feel like you can know, nor is he particularly controversial or interesting. When it comes right down to it, he doesn't deserve to win Survivor.

My displeasure at losing both Celeborn and Galadriel again(!) is beyond words. And beyond the upset portrayed by the mad smiley, so I won't bother to use it.

++ ANARION

Firefoot and Lalaith are correct. What has he contributed? Not very much. How embarrassing would it be for this program to have a victor known only as the younger brother of another losing contestant?

Hold on people, Anarion was a prince who fought for what he believed in. Celebrian was a queen through marriage who did something stupid and got hurt. Surely we should send off the less important one first, right?

++Celebrian.

Reasons already said.

++Anarion

He's cool, but he's not that cool. Sure he fought bravely in the Siege of Barad-Dur, but he didn't live to do anything really great and/or glorious. Which happens to be a prerequisit for winning this contest, in my book.

+ + Celebrimbor

For crafting rings of power, which isn't the smartest thing to do. Sure, you might get a chap like Gandalf who knows how to put one of them to good use, but the majority of ringbearers caused chaos because power corrupts. Not to mention Sauron got in on the whole thing. Overall, the rings were a bad idea.

I posted this earlier, but it seems I need to repeat myself.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but the Rings will still happen so long as there are other elven-smiths in Hollin as well as Sauron. If we kill Celebrimbor, the three powerful elven rings won't get made, and thus Lothlorien and Rivendell will be diminished. And also, don't forget that Gandalf took one of the rings, a ring to help support him in his weariness and help him kindle people's hearts, and without that ring he probably would not have been successful.

Celebrimbor's involvement in the Ring incident was a plus, not a minus.

He's just too smug. Shall we say
a rather pronounced Noldor trait?
