Well I wouldn't take any of them cos however trustworthy they are Sam only helped out cos it was Frodo, I'd wanna take one of my own friends from back home, I trust them more and know what they are capable of!
but if I had to chose, I'd go with Sam just cos I've read the book and it all worked out nicely.
 
I think I would also choose Sam because of all the reasons other people said basically because he would never leave your side except when he thinks your dead wich happens in the book anyways
 
I would choose Sam also! Sam is just the kinda person who is trustworthy and would always stick at your side no matter what. And he is really cool! I mean who else would go and almost drown themselves just to stay at your side and help you all the way?
GO SAM!!!!
 
Sam, by all means and without any thought. Better a friend who would risk his frightened neck for you than a warrior. Better a simple hobbit who knows and is tempted very little by the power of the ring than a wizard. Better a friend who is willing to admit that he is weak and yet press on than a dwarf who is too proud to admit anything of the kind. Better a kindred spirit than a mysterious elf whom you've known for only a short while. And better a cook than two really dumb hobbits who know nothing of true hardships.

Sam, by all means.

-me
 
I know I've already posted my opinion, but here goes anyway. A warrior or a wizard would have drawn too much attention. So it's best 2 go w/ a hobbit. I wouldn't have taken Pippin- I'd be afraid he'd do something similar to the incident w/ the well in Moria. And I wouldn't have taken Merry. He's obviously meant 2 go wherever Pippin goes, at least until the end of the first half of TTT. Sam's one of my favorite characters, & he would give me friendship & loyalty, which is a lot more meaningful than magic or skills in battle.
 
My choice would be Sam (ok...so I lack originality in this choice.)

But my reasoning is simple. Sam, out of all the nine is the least resistant to the ring. He is the most simple, hearth loving hobbit there can be. He has no desire for power, possessions, or riches. All he wants is to have his friends safe so that they can live a simple life without complications. His only incentive in the journey, is to get to Mordor, get rid of the ring...and get home as soon as possible so he can have a full and peaceful meal with his friends and family. Yes, he is loyal...but most hobbits inherantly loyal. He would just be the most loyal because he has more reason to get home again.
 
LOL I like your thinking!

I would take Merry because:

1. Pippin is useless(no offence meant, i love Pippin)
2. Sam is like a dog, he'd be too annoying
3. Legolas just nances about which is also annoying
4. Gimli spits when he talks
5. Aragorn is not a happy chappy
6. Gandalf is mean

so by the process of elimination Merry would be the best person to have with me

and he is gorgeous!

I go for Sam........all the way! He's loyal to the death. Remember his attack on Shelob??? Here's a quote from him.

"I'm coming too, or neither of us isn't going. I'll knock holes in all the boats first."
 
Haha, nice little argument you guys have here.
Welcome to the forum, Ellerina.
 
Ah, but he went anyway, didn't he Ellerina, and that shows self-control on his part, overcoming his natural dislike of the place. I have not changed my mind.
 
You wouldn't have to necessisarily be his master for him to go w/ u. Sam was Frodo's servant, but also a good friend of his. I'm sure that even if Frodo wasen't his master, Sam would still stick by him no matter what.
 
Aw, but you would have to be a friend of Sam for him to be loyal to you. Sam didn't seem to loyal to anyone else in the fellowship.
 
True, but he'd known Frodo 4 a while. Most of the other ones he didn't know that well (with the exception of Merrry & Pippin). And he's always suspicious of other people, like he was of gollum & even of aragorn at first.
