Not much love for Alfrid in drag&#8230; As to the slot that Bard will take, that was a much closer call. We nearly saw Tauriel going home to Mirkwood; but with 6% of the vote, it is the dwarven women who are leaving. As Gimli might say, &#8216;There ARE no dwarf women!&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/HBT3-069553r-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"An image of Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman, with his children seen in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-96341 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/HBT3-069553r-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/HBT3-069553r-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/HBT3-069553r-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Middle-earth March Madness begins on Monday.
