Wayne, that is not a good excuse for changing your vote. I will not accept an excuse like that for your vote. So, your vote is still for Gandalf.
On that note, I'd have to disagree with all the Gandalf voters. If they didn't have Gandalf, the Dwarves never would have made it to Rivendell, they would have been squashed by William, Bert and Tom. I say we keep him and once again, get rid of the usless. Of course I am talking about none other than Fundin and Nain. Yes they're old and might provide some good insight, but the bring nothing to the game. They're both old and dry!! They have no excitment in them. I say we send them to be with Durin, in the ground!!!

I disagree with the voting off of The Master. So what the guy is a pompous, greedy, jerk. The biggest thing about losing The Master is the Man Tribe is in total disarray because of the constant bickering between The Master and Bard, you know how high ratings for Survivor has increased since these two have gone at eachother's throats? A bunch! No, The Master must stay, he's far too good for the ratings, and that's the only reason you keep people around, is how they appeal to the public. If you keep on the jerks, more people will watch just to see him lose in the end.
So, I must vote for ++Fundin, there's still too many dwarves.

++Fundin
I don't want to add a new name at this point and I like watching Gandalf get out of chores by boring people with his full of wisdom speeches, and The Master get out of chores by sneaking off (we have a running bet of how long it takes his tribe to notice he's gone again)

Day 4
The onslaught against the Dwarves progressed through to Day 4. There was, however, lots of talk about stopping the onslaught and continuing onto the other tribes. The two victims of this onslaught were Gandalf and The Master. However, Fundin was the one whom everyone wanted to see leave. "He's so old and dry" one said. "He's so uninteresting!!" said another. "But what about Gandalf and The Master?" Fundin said, attempting to shift the votes. "Gandalf left the Dwarves and Bilbo so many times!" "Yes, but he did warn them. And he's the only one who can make fire." one said in response. "What about the The Master? He's keeps sneaking off and only cares about himself!" Fundin cried, once again trying to shift the votes. "True, but we'd rather keep him to the finals. We'd have a better chance at winning agaisnt someone no one likes." another responded. The voting of day 4 went as thus:
Fundin - 6 Gandalf - 4 The Master - 3 Bungo - 1 Even though he did manage to change a few minds, Fundin was the next cast out. "Fine!! I shall go, yet this is not the last you have heard of me!!" With that, he sank into the ground, not alive yet not quite dead. He still had revenge to fufill on those who voted him out... Contestants voted out: ut:Bofur Ori Durin (The first King Under the Mountain) Nori Fundin The remaining contestants: Hobbits Belladonna Took Bilbo Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) Bungo Bagins Old Took Dwarves Balin Bifur Bombur Dain Dori Dwalin Fili Gloin Kili Nain (father of Dain) Oin Thrain (father of Thorin) Thorin Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Men/Elves Bard Beorn Chief of Guards Elrond Galion (Elvenking's Butler) Elvenking The Master Girion Bad Guys Azog Bert Bolg Golfimbul Great Goblin Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Others Gandalf Eagle Lord Roac Carc Gollum Necromancer Day 4 has come to an end. Day 5 starts. Start voting!!!

And again, I am going to try to get rid of the only person who is holding Bilbo back, ++Bungo. As long as he is there, Bilbo will be a big bore. Once he is gone, Bilbo's tookishness can start to come out, especially under the influence of his anscestor who invented golf using an orc's head.

Once I get an idea in my head, it's diffcult to shake it.
++ GANDALF For all the reasons already stated by those who voted for him yesterday. And not only does he mysteriously sneak off at critical moments. When he is participating he is holding the other contestants back. They simply rely on his magic, and so their ingenuity and skills are not being tested. It's all very well magically kindling the firewood, but I'd like to see them try lighting a fire in the rain without Gandalf to help them. And his tricksy way with words is displaying itself in very sly behaviour. He has already tricked the Trolls into giving him all their mutton rations, and he had Beorn completely confused about the number of contestants left. He is a dangerous fellow and needs to be removed in order that other, more worthy, contestant may shine.

+ + Gandalf
As SpM points out, Gandalf is really tricksey, precious. And there is an ethical question which Smeagol the Half-Wise, granted with perhaps an ax (get it- dwarves! ) to grind is going to point out in a future Oprah interview telling the "real story" of The Ring: Gandalf unethically dragged an inoffensive hobbit into a frighteningly dangerous quest against the hobbit's wishes. And who's to say Bilbo couldn't have handled three strong (but remarkably dim) stone trolls? Not only that, it was undoubtedly sly Gandalf who convinced Bilbo to rewrite the tale of getting the Ring away from poor Smeagol, who actually apologized to Bilbo and showed him the way out of the caves! Perhaps some wise maia, oh, say, Saruman, could lead the defense against The Necromancer.

Wow, it's been very silent today. And I see that my vote for Nain was pretty much usless.
--Nain ++Gandalf His uncloaking is getting rather annoying. Besides, I'd like to see what's going to happen with the Necromancer. Gandalf was the only one who could kind of control him.

Remember it is only a game
I can't see how your vote becomes more usefull by useing it on Gandalf. . . It changes nothing!
Before you made a statement about who you found should be sendt home, now it seems like your just going with whats popular. (maybe it is just me who thinks so) As Glirdan statet before he is useless and has got to go. ++Nain I can't remember what time the voting stops, hope I am not to late. |

Day 5
Today was a very subdued day. Not a whole lot of talking went on, yet almost everyone was thinking the same thing. "Let's get rid of Gandalf" This, of course was met with a quite a bit of enthusiasm. They were getting sick and tired of voting out the Dwarves anyway. "But why me?" Gandalf asked. 'What about Nain? He's such a dry, old, usless, not to mention, dead. Why not get rid of him?" he asked. "Well, because, we could use his insight and experience for a few days. Besides, you keep disappering when we need you. No one in the tribe does anything because they rely on your magic and we want ratings to go up because you're subduing the Necromancer!!" everyone responded. That night, the voting went like this:
Gandalf - 5 Bungo - 1 Balin - 1 Nain - 3 Some people were persuaded in voting for Nain, yet Gandalf go the over-all votes. He was the next cast away. "You'll all regret the day you- AHHHHH!!!!" He didn't get to finish his scentence as he fell into the darkness, with a Balrog falling after him. Contestants voted out: Bofur Ori Durin (The first King Under the Mountain) Nori Fundin Gandalf The remaining contestants: Hobbits Belladonna Took Bilbo Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) Bungo Bagins Old Took Dwarves Balin Bifur Bombur Dain Dori Dwalin Fili Gloin Kili Nain (father of Dain) Oin Thrain (father of Thorin) Thorin Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Men/Elves Bard Beorn Chief of Guards Elrond Galion (Elvenking's Butler) Elvenking The Master Girion Bad Guys Azog Bert Bolg Golfimbul Great Goblin Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Others Eagle Lord Roac Carc Gollum Necromancer Day 5 comes to a close and Day 6 begins. Vote away!!

As I can see I am living in a lonely little world where no one else even seems to pay attention to hobbits, I will move off of them for a while and look to another person who is undesirable on the island. A person who keeps getting drunk on wine, he is vulnerable to the drink. This is none other than the infamous butler to Thranduil. He has been lowering ratings because whenever we get a hot of him, he is either drinking or in a drunken stupor.

Back to the Dwarf bashing ...
There are still too many of them.
And, if previous days' voting is anything to go by, the most likely to go is ++NAIN Another contestant who contributes little, has nothing useful to say for himself and should never have been in the show in the first place. There are a number of worthy contestants in the Dwarvish tribe, but the preponderance of those who add little is holding them back. By getting rid of the useless Dwarfs, we can allow the more intersting ones to shine.

++NAIN
I agree that he is entirely useless. Worse than useless, in fact. With nothing to do, he's decided to make himself a nuisance by pulling such silly pranks as leaving tacks on Bombur's seat, attempting to pick Bilbo's pockets in an out-burgle-the-burglar contest and writing insulting notes to the Trolls. While everyone is distracted by Nain's nonsense, the important business of working on the challenges is being ignored. He has to go.

The dwarves still need thinning out, and I'm sure Nain will go today. I want to draw everyone's attention to Dain.
He is very powerful and a good dwarve, I would consider him to be in the top 5 for he does deserve it but unfortunately, he has allied himself with Thorin whom I don't see deserving to win. Dain is persuasive and holds to his promise, so I see him getting Thorin to the end. I say vote out Dain and then Thorin will be much weaker so he should go next. ++Dain

Day 6
After yesterdays turn around vote for Gandalf, the Dwarf purging continued. The one to suffer this time was Nain, who was victim to a few votes yesterday due to Gandalf. Today, everyone thought it best to get rid of him for his uslessness. "Gandalf was right, you really are a dry, old, useless, not to mention dead, Dwarf!" one cried. "It's definetly your turn to go." The voting that night was not at all surprising:
Galion - 1 Nain - 6 Dain - 1 Thorin - 1 Bilbo - 1 To no one's surprise, Nain was the one to go. "Fine!" he cried. " You will lose all the insight and knowledge that I hold!" "Who cares?" they responded. "We got rid of Dain, didn't we?" With that last insult, Nain turned away and started walking away. Then, a strange gust of wind came and he was gone, never to be seen again. Contestants voted out: Bofur Ori Durin (The first King Under the Mountain) Nori Fundin Gandalf Nain (father of Dain) The remaining contestants: Hobbits Belladonna Took Bilbo Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) Bungo Bagins Old Took Dwarves Balin Bifur Bombur Dain Dori Dwalin Fili Gloin Kili Oin Thrain (father of Thorin) Thorin Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Men/Elves Bard Beorn Chief of Guards Elrond Galion (Elvenking's Butler) Elvenking The Master Girion Bad Guys Azog Bert Bolg Golfimbul Great Goblin Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Others Eagle Lord Roac Carc Gollum Necromancer Day 7 starts...As soon as you reach the end of this post!! PS: If you guys don't mind, I'd like a little feedback on what you think of the way I'm doing this. Is there anything you want me to add? Anything need to be taken out? Just let me know by posting it or PMing me. Don't worry, I don't bite!!

He needs to be gotten rid of first, because even if Thorin goes (I would be happy) Dain will just allign himself with some other undeserving player!

What about that Chief of Guards? Has he made any useful contribution so far? We don't even know his name, for goodness sake. All he seems to have done so far is criticise Bard for being dour and serious. Well, at least Bard is getting on with his camp duties and contributing to the tasks. He made an excellent showing in the archery task. I think that this nameless Chief of Guards is someone who we can happily do without.

While Galion is deserving (via incompetence,
inebriation, and drinking the king's wine) of going, what about the Elvenking? Greedy and probably so much of a control freak that he'll drive his son to leave Mirkwood for Rivendell (and start wearing blond wigs). So: + + The Elvenking

Well since my Bilbo wagon doesn't seem to picking up much steam I will try
++Beorn Untrusty and dim-witted. I mean he's a shapeshifter living among these others and we haven't gotten rid of him. You know what happens to shape shifters on other games...they are lynched and yet he continues to become a bear and we all sit around smiliing about it. Also, the dumb characters are fun for a day or two but soon their incompentence begins to get annoying and pull down ratings so it's time for this nincompoop to leave.
