Results - Week 20

[clauderainsrm]

I don't think I should mentally predict anything else this mini season, because I'm always going to be wrong. :)

I'd mentioned before that there was someone who, by the numbers, was the odds on favorite to win - because they were in the top (or close) in every contestant only and email only vote. Having the support of the hardcore Idol voters, and fans, seems like a no-brainer as the person with the inside track. Clearly this is their game to lose.

Except of course, they just lost it tonight.

Tonight we are saying goodbye to an absolutely incredible writer, who has been "bringing it" every single week that he's been in the competition, and for some reason just seems to have a glass ceiling at about this point every single time.

rayaso  is an amazing writer and just all around person from his interactions that I've seen with everyone around him.

He's also one of the few people that I don't need to wonder if he will be hanging around and rooting for his favorite(s). ;)

Never make me a front runner again! Haven't you heard about Gary's Curse? But thank you so much for the compliments. It's been an incredible competition, and this is as far as I've ever made it. The Final Four are such wonderful writers, and their entries showed it. I want to thank everyone for their votes and comments, which made this all worth while. I hope to see everyone at the next competition.

rayaso IS an amazing writer who has charmed and entertained and amazed by virtue of his imaginative creativity with every single entry! The elimination process is never easy, it always stings and basically sucks. Your writing is a treat, G, and I enjoyed and looked forward to reading your clever responses to the prompts.

You are also such a generous player! Your comments always make "me" feel great so I'm certain sure it's the same for the other writers.

Enjoy your break because the next Idol will be here sooner than you think! We will all need to RECHARGE!

I have so immensely enjoyed reading everything you have ever written for this round rayaso. You have such a wonderful talent for storytelling, and you never fail to entertain with your entries. I am sad to see you go, but you have produced such amazing work and I was glad to be here to read your entries.

I have really enjoyed reading rayso this mini season. I am surprised he was eliminated ( I totally had him in my top 4).

I am shocked! Rayaso is one of my all-time Idol faves and I'm so sorry to see him go. Never even thought this was a possibility. One of the most generous and encouraging writers ever, you have touched us all with your kindness and your insight. Thank you for being the writer and the man you are.

Rayaso, I'm shocked and saddened to see you go! You are a fantastic writer with a wealth of stories inside you. Thank you for sharing them, as well as for your wonderful insights and kind comments. I can't wait to see you back at it when we have another Idol on DW! :)

You did SO well, rayaso, and should be nothing but immensely proud of yourself. :) Well done, and sorry that it's the end of the road for you, I've definitely enjoyed your writing!

I am so proud of you for hanging in there through the long and frustrating weeks, and not having to quit because you ran out of ideas. You were fun and funny all the way through the end, and I always loved seeing what you came up with.

Congratulations on this hugely successful season!
