Bill Ferny. It's funny when Sam 'wastes' an apple on him.
I can't seem to like Gollum; I'll never forgive him for what he did to Sam and Frodo.

Yeah, I know, I've always felt rather sad about Gollum and Saruman not being redeemed.

My favorite bad guy in the LotR was Gollum. He was so focused on his goal, albeit a simple one. And nothing could sway him from it.

Of course, Sauron is the bad guy of the book. But if you look past him, you see all these other people with their own personal agendas.

I'd say... Saruman. Or Sauron. Both are intriguing.

I have two favorites- one is the villain I love to hate, and the other is the just an awesome adversary... Rotten to the core.... Durins Bane... flame of Udûn... the Balrog of Morgoth... bwaaaaaaa!

The villain I love to hate is Saruman because he's a traitor. You can't get lower than one whose been trusted but has absolutely turned because of his own arrogance. Grima is a close second. He's low and slimey but he's a bit more pitable because he's just being used. Boo, hssss!

I agree with the first part. But, Grima just makes me feel sick. Ugh!

I can't really call Gollum bad. Okay, he was far from good too but bad's too much. I think that's mainly the Ring's influence on him.

My favorite bad guy is Saruman. His pursuasive voice and his backstabbing habits make him a villian that you would indeed love to hate.

Oh, I forgot the balrog... I love the balrog! He's so powerful.. I wish he wouldn't have died..

I think Garima wasn't that evil, probably because I don't understand what he 've done. (something with Eowyn, right?)

He was mostly a traitor, but other than that he was a sniveling coward.

He had some rather dubious feelings (obsession) towards Eowyn. *shudder*

Go Shelob!!!

My favorite bad guy/girl is Shelob!!! She's just cool because she eats people and has webs and stuff. Her death made me sad, sniff. I also like Gollum a lot, but I don't really consider him a bad guy.

Gollum was my favorite because I have sympathy for him. The Witch King is my favorite too because he is so bad and evil, with such authority.

The Lord of the Nazgûl, because he is so totally arogant in his power and certain of his invincibility....until he meets Eowyn of course!

But I also have a soft spot for Old Man Willow - a different kind of bad, more natural and wild - more spiteful and jealous than truely evil (though I guess imprisoning people until they die of hunger or thirst ain't too nice either).
