Winner: Alatar & Pallando (James Baillie)
Highlights: Bilbo & Aragorn danced by Rachel (Bilbo) & Sam (Aragorn) - accurate portrayal of height difference! Alatar & Pallando danced by James (Alatar) & James (Pallando) to curious chechen music. Famous one liner from R7 "Ain't no party like a Buts' and Nobs party!". Fingon & Maedhros holidaying in Cornwall, Butterbur & Nob caravanning in Archet. Cute poem about Blue Wizards in next Anor.

James Baillie Vidugavia 0 0 0 1 0 4

Winner: Vidugavia (James Baillie)
Highlights: Feanor has what are essentially drug-fuelled raves. Death isn't that bad because you can see your loved ones. Vidugavia tried hard (winning on the grounds that as an unknown Rhovanian warlord he's clearly going to be desperate to be the best host so people know who he is next time) and is resultingly forced to dance to Crazy Frog.

Easter- "Best Death I"

Moriah Boromorh 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1+2 5

Winner: Boromorh (Moriah)
Highlights: Boromorh (or perhaps Borowmore, or Boromor) is the nameless soldier in the film of the Two Towers who gets hit by a ballista bolt at Helm's Deep. He dies alone with only the wind to mourn, and possibly a grinning Uruk-Hai soldier. Finrod's death may be trying too hard; Arwen's death is probably the saddest; Golfimbul's death in battle does not count as noble as was against hobbits.

Winner: Feanor (Jamie Douglas)
Highlights: Feanor came in like a wrecking ball. Men die for the sake of balance; Snowmane whines too much.

Winner: Turin (Samuel Cook)
Highlights: Asterisked ending decided by dice roll, Turin winning as Master of Dice by Dice Mastered. Steve the incompetent ringwraith *nearly* wins. All of Bettina's space threatened to be devoured.
