And how would Eustace the Dragon (Narnia) have
fared in a face down with C. D.? Obviously Smaug
would slap either one around.

What? Is this WWF Smackdown? I thought it was Survivor, a witty game of clever positioning and argumentative fun.

Shall I have to entirely rethink all my strategies henceforth? Does Bethberry have to become Da Big Double B? Will Diamond have to become Di-Hard? Will we see Big Mac? Morm the Marauder? Will we need a PanHandler?

I don't think so . . .

Day 18 is now over!

Gandalf - 10
Chrysophylax Dives - 7

Gandalf the Wizard is the character voted off today.

Gandalf stood, and with one last uncloaking, to the discust (not the surprise) of all those present, he walked away proudly, with black squares covering certain places, since this is a family friendly site.

Thus ends this day!

Remaining contestants:

From the Lord of the Rings Survivor
Gimli
Hama

From the Silmarillion Survivor
Elbereth

From the Hobbit Survivor
Smaug
Gloin
Durin

From the Second Age Survivor
Tar-Miriel
Celebrian
Thorondor

From the Minor Works Survivor
Chrysophylax Dives
Goldberry

***************************************

You may now start voting!

Poor Gandalf, why did you have to be voted off?

Let me see here. We have two humans, one Vala, one Eagle, one Elf, two Dragons, one of whatever Goldberry is, and, oh dear, no less than THREE Dwarves. At least one of those Dwarves has got to go, so...

Gimli has committed and offense so agregious that it really should be punished by death, the least we can do is evict him. What did he do you ask? Why he befriended and Elf and there is no greater crime in all of dwarven society than that.

++Gimli

In Dwarvin society yes. Therefore, I encourage all dwarves to take up your cause.

As it is, it looks like your trying to punish Gimli for trying to redress years of strife between the two races, a noble enough effort. Or in other words: You're promoting racism, morm. O_O

Now of course Gimli isn't perfect & there are probably many reasons why he should be voted off but surely not this one!

Therefore, since I'm with Menel more or less in his reasoning of evening up the scores:

++ Gloin

Being the son of Groin (inventor of the mithril cup) is a tough act to follow, but he's less deserving of a spot on the island than Gimli is.

He's boring, has no character really (except for starting fires, which, may I add, he and his brother failed miserably at!) and is far worse than Gimli.
