Green Room - Week 22 - Day 7

[clauderainsrm]

When I posted about the Not-a-spirit award, I remembered that I had a name for it. But I couldn't think of it at the time. You know how those things just slip out of focus when you need them. And I hadn't written it down, so that was no use.

Survivor actually had been the one to name it - The Fan Favorite Award. The first one ever given was to Rupert in All Stars. He ended up winning the exact same amount as Amber (who won the season), just for being popular. :)

This of course is a little different in that it's the other contestants voting - but it's the same principle, so I've changed the subject line of that post. :)

I considered naming it after kathrynrose - but she hated money being involved with Idol at all. So I don't think she would like that. I'll check with her estate though, they might have a different feeling...

Tinhuviel? She hated people. :D Maybe rebrand the title of winner after the original? I don't know...

Alex? Aled was an amazing writer, but he really didn't hang out with a lot of the other contestants.

Luna? Already has a Idol award named after her.

Erica_crawford? Not really her style either. Same with walkertxkitty - although there really should be something named after her...

lee_hawk? Oh man, same. I need to come up with something for that.

and of course kittymichaels won everything, So his only reward was getting to be kittymichaels. :)

For right now though it's just the Fan Favorite Award - and the deadline to get me your votes is tomorrow: https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1065725.html

There's one more vote happening right now though - and it's to decide who wins this mini season!!! So it's kind of important. I guess. If you're into that sort of thing. :)

What did you call it last season? You could call it that...whatever it was that you called it. ;-)

Been thinking...danger! danger!...I think it's a lovely idea to honor our fallen heroes. So, what about calling it--whatever season--the Honor Award?

The closest thing we've had in the past has been the Spirit of LJ Idol award, and that has just been for full seasons.

Gary, you are wise. You are the man. You will decide and your decision will wise and manly. ;-)

I simply adore this idea!

[clauderainsrm]

I'm a fan of it too. :)

I like the idea of the "fan favorite" award, but I think you'd have to open up the voting a bit to anyone who is a "fan" of Idol (so, has joined the comm or has played in the past). Would be pretty hairy for you, though, so I think keeping it as-is is just fine!

[clauderainsrm]

I considered doing that - but given how many people I've had to remind that finalists *aren't* eligible - restricting it to contestants of this particular mini season is a task in and of itself. :D (Pretty sure they got the finale vote and this vote mixed up)

It's not the most precise name, but it will do. And who knows if anyone will ever offer another Gift Card for a future season. If they do, I can figure out a better name for it!

[sonreir]

Ha! Well, you DID ask for 3! ;)

And yeah, there's no guarantee that anyone will offer this for a future season, so no need to stress about it just yet! :D
