Vote - Week 6

[clauderainsrm]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

It was only a matter of time before we hit a week with multiple bye-outs again. It makes sense that it happened when we had an afternoon deadline. It still sucks, but it makes sense.

This means we are saying goodbye to

4 talented writers and people that I know we all have enjoyed having around this mini season. Thank you to all of you! Hope to see you in the Home Game!

As for the rest of you, things are getting more and more real every week as the numbers dwindle. The temperature dial is being turned just a little more this week!

This week the voters will be making a path toward the finale, and we are losing the 3 contestants with the fewest votes this week.

The poll will close Wednesday August 21st at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

It looks that way. And it looks like someone rescinded at least one vote in the last half hour or so of voting? I haven’t been tracking too carefully but I think my total number of votes went down right there at the end. I’m too exhausted to fully embrace the drama if that is the case. Sometimes LJ idol seasons are just less meant to be.

[fausts_dream]

Wild, I have been known to add a vote at the end, but never take one away.

[tonithegreat]

It is a thing that has happened in the past and a thing that the polls allow for which can keep things spicy. I think especially in the beginning of a season many people read and vote early and then the temptation could be there to adjust votes toward the end to engineer results when it is close like this.

[murielle]

I know there are those who vote as close to the end as possible. I don't have the patience for that and I'm not that strategic. Not my nature.

[tonithegreat]

I think a lot of people forget until close to the end, and then realize that they need to get a vote in right at the end. That’s definitely been the case for me on multiple occasions. What looks like strategy can sometimes just be disorganization. Or vice versa.

[murielle]

Thank you for pointing that out. There have been times when I haven't left myself enough time to read and comment. And I always feel SO guilty when that happens I vote for everyone. It seems the only fair thing to do.

I did "hear"/read that some Idolers do vote with that strategy in mind.
