Green Room - Week 17 - Day 6

[clauderainsrm]

It occurred to me, after I posted the results from the second round of the Write Off https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1046829.html - that I was being far too kind how to break ties.

In Survivor, there are two traditional ways of breaking a tie: "going to fire" at the final four. This is a challenge that only the two people are a part of, where they compete head to head in making a fire that is high enough, and burns hot enough, to burn through a rope.

That's kind of what I do with the Write Off. (with a mix of the Top Chef Quick Fire)

But the *other* way to solve a tie - is going to be a revote, and if they *still* can't break that tie - then those people are immune and everyone else is vulnerable and has to draw a rock! :)

I can just imagine the looks on people's faces if I said: "If you don't want to send either of these people home - then it's going to be one of you!" :D

I'm not going to do that. I can't see a situation where I'd want to do it. (Other than mentioning it to see the reactions! :D) But I do think it's funny that I never went in that direction with a tie-break rule.

I have some big things happening this week - but what is going on in YOUR life?

I'm glad you didn't take the tie-breaking to another level. If people survive 2 tie breakers and there is still a tie, then they both deserve to advance. Otherwise, you're monkeying with Idol karma, and that's always dangerous.

I hope whatever big is going on i your life goes well. Nothing out of the ordinary in mine.

I am so curious about your "big things!" You keep alluding but not telling. Hope it's GREAT things, G.

This week? I have far too much writing - real job and Idol job, ya know.

I am a MASSIVE fan of Survivor & I, for one, think they should draw rocks!

G, I had a dream about what your "big thing" was, and now I am VERY curious.

Hope all is well. Glad you do right by everyone here on Idol. I think what has been happening is fair, and having it go down any other way is a level of evil that you, my friend, won't even sink to (not yet. Maybe when provoked). ;)

Nothing new here. Sleeping. Hospitals. Meds. Oncology. I miss talking to people - no one reaches out any longer, which is a trend that happens when I get this ill - but I guess I have time to rest. No big news, though!
