Polgara vs. Anita+Wolf+Vampire sex toy …okay. We’ll give it to the Triumvirate but Anita wouldn’t have won that match – the sheer shock of Jean Claude and the Blonde guy would have .
However, this is NOT Polgara vs. Triumvirate. This is Polgara vs. Anita.
I’d like to go on about how Anita can’t win this battle but I’ll try to be brief:
Unless Anita can “Summon Boyfriends” like Kahlan could “Summon Husband”, she gets schooled.

I have fond memories of the Belgariad from when I was a kid, though with every single Eddings book I read after I became more and more frustrated with them apparently only being able to write one single character with optional superficial changes.
Still… cage match, and The Will and The Word is so overpowered is retarded. Once the Eddingses invented the Necessity to explain away why shit didn’t get insta-fixed… because that made more sense than just gimping the magic. Brilliant. BUUUUT them’s the breaks. The necessity wouldn’t weight in on the fight, so Pol could essentially do ANYTHING except instantly obliterate Anita. That’s kind of a lot to work with.

I’m not really familiar at all with Anita Blake, but I have read one of Edding’s books. One was enough. Second-worst book I ever read, the Bible being no. 1!!
I’m going to buy a LKH novel off Amazon right now so that I can see just how superior an author she is to that Eddings freak.
You go, Nita!!

First–do we really need to call Anita a slut? Isn’t losing bad enough?
Second, though: Polgara does show Garion his parents, and Ran Borune his wife, but they aren’t corporeal–they’re images. And Ran Borune pretty much died of shock when he saw Ce’Nedra’s mom, so I’m not buying that she’s “immune” to dealing with dead people.
And even if Durnik is Ontrose re-incarnated (which I’d love a page number on that), it would still be a shock to see someone you weren’t expecting (since they’ve been dead for 2000 years) show up at your door. And I think, in the end, Anita’s powers are perfectly suited to deal with Polgara’s, especially if she’s not exactly in her right mind.
So there.

Just to point out to all those who are using the “junk in the trunk” argument for Anita over Polgara: Belgarath was always teasing her about her large posterior, which she was very conscious of.
Still, I’m glad this is one Cage Match Sir Mix-A-Lot would champion.

I hated to do it but I ended up voting for Anita. I never read the book(s) ivolving the other character but I read Anita Blake up until the book that came after that crap called Narcissus in Chains. Anyway I was going to give the other girl the vote just so Anita would get her but kicked especially after the whole Jesus comment in the dialouge. Then I couldn’t as much as I don’t like the character she is a god-like being herself. Mostly though my vote is out of disgust really so I’m not quite sure it should count.

Anita smiled. “I drank your milkshake.”
She wins, just for that.

I voted for Anita because I love this character and her power. In addition to that I don’t like Eddings’book!
