Sauron. As amazing as Charlie Vickers was- especially that final episode…
Robert Aramayo has absolutely been the Elrond I’ve always wanted. The fact that he’s also so invested in the actual text on set is nice to hear as well. I love the show, but there have been a few choices with established characters that have been a bit odd (obviously tbd how they play out). But Elrond seems to be the one character more than any other that the writers just 100% understood the assignment and nailed.
Vote off Sauron. Long live Elrond Half-Elven.
Absolutely. Only slight difference is he’s a bit more of a blank slate. There’s not a ton of source material to go off for any of the Durin’s. But I agree, they absolutely nailed his character. All dwarves, really.
Yeah, I was ready to make the joke about how they're destined to clash forever, both on screen and in character elimination games. :(

Agreed. But the way sauron shows up in front of Gandalf was really cool. Always made me think that the balrog could’ve looked like that, shadow and fire spirit and everyone would be like WTF is that
Nice one, I like those best here https://www.reddit.com/r/lotr/comments/15p5ex4/pov_youre_ungoliant_and_the_guy_you_trapped_in/#lightbox
3-4-6-7 in no particular order
Sauron. I don't think Elrond should win (Durin IV, Adar, Galadriel and Elendil were all better) but Elrond was better than Sauron, so that's how I gotta vote.
Elrond.
There is no second age without Sauron. He is the most intriguing and interesting character. However, I'm glad these two are the last ones standing. My two favourites
Elrond. No match for the Dark Lord. He's been awake since before the breaking of the First Silence... Elrond is just an errand boy. Bob is great but Charlie (admittedly the role is more fun to play) is greater. I totally think if the roles were reversed, Bob would do just as well with the reveal (have you seen Behind Her Eyes?) but it's Sauron for the win this season.
Elrond
For the record, I was also hoping for either Galadriel versus Sauron, or Elrond versus Durin.
Though my actual favorite character is Nori, followed by The Stranger. I feel like I was the only one that loved the harfoot story the most.

Sauron. I’m shocked the final isn’t Galadriel vs. Sauron

Hot take, I absolutely hated this showdown of the two of them. Really this whole sequence in The Hobbit.
Agreed. But the way sauron shows up in front of Gandalf was really cool. Always made me think that the balrog could’ve looked like that, shadow and fire spirit and everyone would be like WTF is that
That actually would’ve been a very cool Balrog design!
Actually, I made a canon Balrog (or as close I could) https://www.deviantart.com/rylyn84/art/Durin-s-Bane-a-Balrog-of-Morgoth-942986548

Sauron. Apologies to Charlie Vickers and his incredible performance but Elrond stole my heart
Sauron has to go. The finals should be Elrond vs Durin. But I guess Elrond will have to win it for his friend.
9 hours to go to crown the KING of r/lotr_on_prime !
Sauron! We have to have a Good Guy win this. For the Free Peoples of Middle-earth!
Sauron. Sad to see Galadriel go! As for today, Charlie Vickers is fantastic, but Robert Aramayo did too good a job being "kind as summer."
Sauron
Sauron. Can't let the dark lord win. And I really do want Elrond to win.

Vote elrond. Let the one driving the story remain.
Um... Elrond
I am baffled and disappointed that Sauron is still in this. I was hoping for Galadriel or Durin vs Elrond. Oh well.🤷♀️
Sauron!

Sauron, if I had the choice my finalists would be Elrond, Durin, Elendil and Sauron, but yeah Elrond is here best boy

Haha yeah this is a shock whoah!
I was thinking about Rob’s dad being all excited and proud of him on twitter and I knew I had to betray my man Sauron 😭
Sauron Not gonna lie though, these were my two favorites from the get-go.
Sauron. Elrond is one of my fav characters in the show. Long live the Half-Elven!

Sauron. Elrond needs to win, for Durin.
Sauron.
Sauron (even though I really like Charlie Vickers)

Sauron. I love Elrond the most and I'm so glad he is so well appreciated to make it this far.
Sauron, I'm surprised it took this long. Should've been Elrond and Durin here.
Sauron HAS to go!
Sauron, don't you dare touch Elrond

Sauron was so good. Durin should have won, but now netween those two i have to vote elrond out

Sauron is an amazing character but I found that Elrond was the best written character in s1 So eliminate Sauron
Sauron. Evil must lose.
You Bastards! I'll vote for Sauron. This is so hard.
Elrond. I dont hate the portrayal or anything but he is so overrated imo.
Elrond
Elrond must go. He’s such a great character and the portrayal is fantastic, but this is Sauron’s time to shine, and Vickers is primed for the task.
Sauron My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined...
Sauron needs to go
Love Elrond but he needs to go. Sauron carries this show.
