-The Author


Galadriel: Welcome back to the Mr. Middle Earth Beauty Pageant! And now, I'm sure the ladies are all quivering with excitement for the Swimsuit Round!

The Men: all come out dressed in swim trunks

Galadriel: With Aragorn in a very nice set of pants, what's that? Is that…an Evenstar on his…um…never mind.

Arwen: Heehee. He's mine.

Eowyn: Is not!

Rosie: You can really tell he's a King now, can't you?

Lothiriel: I'm not looking.

Galadriel: Next is Frodo Baggins in his…very…nice cotton drawers….

Frodo: Look, I know I'm a bit shabbier than I used to be. If someone had told me there was going to be a swimsuit competition...

Lothiriel: Still not looking.

Galadriel: Thank you, Frodo, for that nice...round...image. Now for Meriadoc Brandybuck in what looks to be a swimsuit that's actually be used for swimming!

Merry: Brandybucks swim, you know.

Lothiriel: I don't even want to know.

Galadriel: Good show, Merry! Now for Faramir in his grey trunks. Oh my…

Eowyn: Wow, look at all those scars. He's been in a lot of battles. It's like a map or something. Leading right down to his...

Galadriel: Now for Samwise Gamgee.

Rosie: They called him fat. Fat! Hah! That's not fat! He's just big...boned!

Galadriel: Legolas Greenleaf, in his…green leaf.

Crowd: goes wild

Lothiriel: I can't look! I'm not looking!

Galadriel: I'm sorry to say that Legolas has been disqualified for not wearing a swimsuit. However, Legolas will be available for autographs and pictures after the show. Moving on, Eomer of Rohan, looking really well-built. Wowza.

Eomer: It's all that fighting to protect my home and family.

Lothiriel: melts

Galadriel: And now Peregrin Took wearing - nothing at all.

Merry: laughs

Pippin: Merry! Merry, you told me this was alright!

Merry: The big one! The big one!

Galadriel: Off the stage! You're disqualified!

Pippin: You're coming, too, aren't you, Merry?

Galadriel: So that's two disqualified. Which will the judges choose to eliminate legally: Aragorn, Frodo, Merry, Faramir, Sam, or Eomer?

Judges: discuss

Rosie: The judges have decided that Frodo is to be eliminated.

Galadriel: Alright, Frodo, you're outta here.

Frodo: I can't go on…?

Galadriel: No, you can't. Alright, ladies, five men still remain. Which one will receive the Crown of Andor? You will decide, after the DIRECT QUESTION ROUND.
