I'm pretty sure that Boromir would dominate the voting on this poll.  

What about their horse?  I think his name was Bill?  He got left pretty early on.

Hm, Boromir would be a logical choice, but he's a fan favorite, but still end up close.

I, honestly, have absolutely no idea who could be the least favorite member. I think I'm going to vote for Legolas. Not because I don't like him, but only because I didn't get too attached for him. 

And, yes, their horse's name is Bill! They left him when they entered the Mines of Moria, but I think I read somewhere that the crew convinced Peter Jackson not to kill the horse!

Legolas! I'm team dwarfs! And don't you ever throw me! :(

Still Legolas. I don't like how he sparkishly surfed that elephant-trunk. What a poser! ;D

Perhaps you could use an image of Gandalf from one of the Lord of the Rings movies, instead of the Hobbit.

Somehow it was between Merry and Gimli for me. I picked the dwarf since Merry is already in the lead, poor guy.

My thoughts exactly, poor Merry!

I am surprised by the results as I thought Boromir would be way out in front as the least liked.  Merry was lucky enough to ride horseback with Eowyn and was involved in her fight to kill a dragon and one of the Nazgul.  I'd ride a horse cross country with the lovely Miranda Otto any day of the week!  

Note:  I always thought the Eowyn was the most attractive of the females in the series (Arwen, Galadriel, Eowyn, and Rosie the barmaid).

Two other thoughts on this:

  1.  I always thought that Pippen was the most annoying of the hobbits (stealing the giant bowling ball that was a crystal ball, disobeying Gandalf about what to say to the regent, etc.).
  2. If the movies had followed the books more closely, I might have voted for Aragorn.  It seemed to me in the books that whenever he was introduced to someone, he'd have to give his entire geneaology:  "I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, nephew of Phil, grandson of Jim Bob, ex-husband of Phyllis,..."   I found that annoying after reading it just once.

Oh, yes, Aragorn is a little bit too self-confident in the books! I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, the heir of Isildur, the heir to the throne of Gondor...
