Who was the greatest Hobbit?

[The Saucepan Man]

Surely, Frodo must win hands down, for all the reasons that have been stated. He was the Ringbearer while the Ring was steadily gaining in power and brought it all the way through a multitude of perils right to Mount Doom, practically on Sauron's doorstep for goodness sake, thus precipitating its and Sauron's destruction and saving ME.

But, Bilbo is my favorite.

thoguh bilbos adventures may have seemed fun ...

Well, they seemed fun because it is a children's story. But he was nearly eaten by Trolls, Wargs and Spiders, nearly killed by Gollum and Goblins, and nearly killed at the Battle of Five Armies, to name but a few of the perils that he faced. And he bandied words with a Dragon (and found Smaug's vunerable spot). So, probably not all that fun for him at the time. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
