Offer temporarily accepted.
The Trolls are quite funny and Dwarf-reduction should be the primary priority...

To retain one troll is funny. To retain two looks like carelessness.

I am now going to use the tactics employed by the Saucepan Man to destroy his rivals in LOTR Survivor.
I'm going to produce ludicrously skewed odds. The remaining contestants: Dwarves/Bad Guys Balin-Even and favourite to win. No one has the gumption or willpower to stop this Dwarf-his victory is eminently predictable. Bombur-6-1 Dori-500-1 Fili-4-1 Gloin-39-4 Kili-8-3 Thrain (father of Thorin)-600-1 Chief Warg-20-1 Smaug 12-1 William 35-1 Tom 40-1 Men/Elves/Others Beorn 45-1 Elrond 35-1 Elvenking 80-1 Eagle Lord 19-1 Roac 800-1 Belladonna Took 3-1 Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) 3-1 Now watch the psychological repercussions...

Notice I gave Kili slightly lower odds than Fili, because his name is more amusing...

And the loser is two people, for I now cast my vote and cast-out post (I've been studying for exams).
++Thranduil For being the father of the little prissy boy elf, Legolas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again, two people were to be cast out. This time, they were from the rival races: an Elf and a Dwarf. Thrain and Thranduil were the one to be evicted. "Thrain is really starting to smell. We NEED to get rid of these dead people! And Thranduil is just being his annoying little self. Not to mention he's the father of a little prissy boy elf!!" The votes that night at tribal council were still a little spread however: Elrond - 2 Belladonna - 1 Thranduil - 5 Dori - 4 Thrain - 5 With that, Thranduil was usurped from his throne in Mirkwood and Thrain went back to to Aule and lived with him while the powers of the Valar lasted. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contestants voted out: Bofur Ori Durin (The first King Under the Mountain) Nori Fundin Gandalf Nain (father of Dain) Bungo Bagins Chief of Guards Thorin Bilbo Golfimbul Carc Gollum The Master Dwalin Bifur Great Goblin Bard Azog Oin Dain Necromancer Old Took Bert Galion (Elvenking's Butler) Girion Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Bolg Elvenking Thrain (father of Thorin) The remaining contestants: Dwarves/Bad Guys Balin Bombur Dori Fili Gloin Kili Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Men/Elves/Others Beorn Elrond Eagle Lord Roac Belladonna Took Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) We have 15 more contestants. Get voting!!

Hang on. I have an objection. By Saucey's count, since when no votes have changed, Dori was also on 5. This should be a triple eviction...

I've recounted and, alas, Saucey got it wrong. Dori is still with us, boringly enough.
I hope that the goody-goodies who failed to take down Dori because he's a "sweet, nice little Hobbit-carrier" will not be so squeamish about another candidate. I speak of he who said the following immortal slur: "The moment I set eyes on him, bobbing about on the doormat, I had my doubts. He looks more like a grocer than a burglar!" In this way Gloin, the haughty aristocratic warrior of the line of Durin 1. Endorsed theft, specifically burglary 2. Discriminated against a co-worker on a height-related basis ("bobbing about on the doormat") 3. Implied discrimination on racial basis (that Bilbo is a Hobbit) 4. Displayed hauteur and contempt for honest trade off which Gloin and his penniless aristo leech friends feed, to wit grocery 5. Mocked home comforts, to wit doormat 6. Showed hypocrisy ("I had my doubts"-why didn't he raise them earlier?) This line alone is a fine basis for eviction. Later evidence also shows that his son Gimli-though thankfully intelligent and open-minded enough to change-was brought up to be a hardened Dwarf supremacist. In conclusion- ++GLOIN

Since William is obviously the intellectual
of the two remaining trolls, having the foresight to plan for ah, foraging, by moving down from the hills above the East Road. And since there must be a limited supply of sheep on the island, it's best to cut down on the number of trolls, particularly since they might get bored with eating mutton or if the sheep supply ran short they'd look for other kinds of snacks. While men and elf survivors might be safe, dwarves (especially the dead ones) and burrahobbits might be in danger of sudden removal as contestants. + + Tom

I hold no particular candle for Gloin, although I feel that he ought to be accorded due respect as Gimli's father. And his words to Frodo at Rivendell show that he has mellowed with age. In any event, there are a number of Dwarves that I would rather see go before Gloin. As I mentioned before, Fili and Kili are both brave and noble Dwarves, but they are pretty much interchangeable so we can afford to lose one of them. Randomly, I shall choose: ++ KILI

What was the point in splitting the anti-Dwarf vote?
At this rate pro-Dwarfers will combine for an all Dwarf final. In the end, Gloin is an inessential Dwarf and will have to be gone. It does not matter whether he goes sooner or later. What does matter is if the current trend continues, and, say, the Bullroarer is evicted instead. The only possible good I can see coming out of this is a Gloin-Kili double eviction...

One of the most vitally important viewing groups is hopping mad!! The producers and advertisers are having fits of the vapors!!
I speak, of course, of the all-important "Paunchy, balding middle-aged husband" viewers. They are fit to be tied over the continuing presence of that manly-man, not-at-all-paunchy, aggressively hairy, and utterly single hunk...Beorn!! The wives can't get enough of him and the husbands have had all they can stand and they can't stand no more!!! The producers have all curled up into tiny balls in the corner and are whimpering pathetically!! The advertisers have fainted so much that they've run the world out of smelling salts!! We must ease their passing...uhh, suffering!! ++ Beorn

I'm prepared to reconsider should another Dwarf emerge as favourite for today's eviction. But don't bank on me changing my vote, as I am unlikely to be on much, if at all, over the next few days. As for Tom, well I have no major issue with him being voted off. He is the least interesting of the two remaining Trolls. But I do think it sensible to continue thinning out the Dwarves before focusing on the less well-represented races/creatures.

I just think your preferences are undermining the wider Dwarf-evicting cause! We could have swept off on a united Gloin bandwagon. Believe me, votes for Kili will be harder to achieve.

The husbands do all the earning and are threatening to cut up all the wives credit cards! In fact, they now have an activist group (Furious and Tubby or F.A.T.) that is calling on enraged anti-Beorn husbands everywhere to do just that!! F.A.T. will not be stopped until Beorn has been given the unceremonious ejection he so richly deserves.

At last, a another chance to evict Beorn Dwarf-Stalker, who surely would have eaten up the Quest to Erebor had they no hobbit or wizard. Bu tdwarves seem to be the enemy; they dont seem to be given a warm welcome here at the Downs. However Beorn did help them, but to the persausion and tactics of Gandalf. Therefore, by Beorn helping the convict dwarves on their quest of greed and to poach the endangered Fire-Drake Smaug, he should not only be an enemy of the tribes, but an enemy of liberty, selflessness, and all the Free Peoples of the world.

Maybe I can. Beorn is still a shape-shifting hippie, and still uselessly annoying. He came in last in all of the most recent nature trail races due to his constant detours to look for honey. And in addition, F.A.T. members will certainly be irritated if their ends are only achieved through an accidental alliance with their arch-enemies... ++BEORN

To play the Devil's Advocate, I will make this appeal to the Davem demographic of voters (not that Davem is voting in this game, nor has a demographic appeared that follows his views... but whatever: I'm having fun).
Kili is a character found only in The Hobbit, where he comes to his unfortunately sticky end. As such, he is never seen as a living or breathing character in the true Legendarium- and is only met through Appendix A III. Gloin, however, is a living and breathing dwarf that we are privileged to meet in Rivendell. Furthermore, Gloin is a rare example of a character who gets wiser with age, for surely anyone can see that he had become less critical and more kindly in his old age. I agree that the Dwarves need culling- although I'm standing by my Beorn vote for now- but if push comes to shove, then I think I'll transfer my vote to Kili, to save the older Dwarf's skin. Anyway, if the argument of "Thranduil is Legolas' father = eviction" is valid, then Gloin ought to be kept for the same reason.
