Silmaril End of Day the Twenty-Sixth

Not quite, Alc

Niggle: 4 votes

Badger: 3 votes

Day the Twenty-Seventh finds 17 contestants remaining:


The Major Minor Works

Gram, his dog
Chrysophylax Dives
The Parson
Master Cook Rider
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Smith of Wootton Major
Nell
Queen of Faerie

The More Minor Minor Works

Goldberry
Badger
Fíriel
The Wizard Artaxerxes
Moon-dog
Mr. Day

We have a problem here. Viewers are turning off in their droves because the show is becoming too whimsical. Not at all how a reality show should be. And the contestants are failing all their tasks and likely to starve to death due to a excess of dreamers over practical types (balance in all things ...).

The reason? The influence of Smith of Wootton Major (the book) is too strong.

The solution? Eliminate a character from that book. Preferably a whimsical one.

Now, I agreed with lmp not to vote for Smith himself today.

So ...

+ + Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie

I guess the time has come. Sorry, TORE.

Reasoning from before applies.

Why get rid of scary Elf kings when you can scrap whining young women?

How many of us know who Dudley Doright is?

But it seems the bell knells for the belle Nell.

By the by, if anyone is starving, it is due to that cook. He should be the next to go.

Why not scrap

++Master Cook Rider

if it must be a character from Smith? He's a rather marginal person in that story. There are few enough females around anymore, so keep Nell, is my opinion. Or have you gents forgotten that it takes two genders to survive as a race??!
