Green Room - Week 27 - Weekend Edition

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

As we wait for the polls to reveal whatever they are going to reveal, I was looking back over the season. It's kind of like watching a repeat of a show, you go back through and look for the clues that were left that tell the tale of how you got to the end.

Some random things that struck me as interesting - maybe you'll be interested too, probably not, but hey, maybe -

Number of players in the Top 7 who signed up ON PAGE ONE: 2 (both of them have immunity this week btw)

Number of players in Top 7 who signed up ON PAGE 6 (there were 7 pages, but the last one only had two names and my comment that we were closed): 2 (neither one has immunity this week.

ORIGINAL TRIBES.

Tribe 1: 3 Jury Members. 1 in the Top 7. tulip_in_yellow
Tribe 2: 3 Jury Members. 2 in the Top 7. superhappytime, n_decisive
Tribe 3: 3 Jury Members. 4 in the Top 7 chite, kittenboo, imafarmgirl and porcelain72

Number of Top 7 left who were on my FL in Week Zero - None.

Number of Top 7 who are on my FL in Week 27 - 4

Number of Top 7 currently on my FL who have immunity this week - 0

Number of Pepsis kithan has consumed since Week 0 - 1,000,002.

Many of heart breaks - many

Many of times being overwhelmly happy for people - many more

Friends made this season - a ton

Numbers of foes made this season - define "foe".*G*

First time this season that I "took everyone aside" with a "people will try to tell you that you can't do it" talk: (seems to be) week 5

People that I am proud of for how well they did this season: 155.

didn't realize i wasn't logged in, that is interesting about the tribes

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I thought so. Especially where the jury is concerned, because it's completely even!

I think that shows that people can start out at different starting points and still manage to do VERY well for themselves in Idol.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

You just want to take away "anonymous"'s first!!*g*

[dubheach.livejournal.com]

I hope you're including yourself in "people you are proud of this season". It's certainly been a roller coaster for yourself as well.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I've done "ok". I've had a few things I would do differently.

Oddly enough, one of those things is probably NOT to take as much crap as I have from people this season but rather just show them the door outright. I don't like doing that *at all* so it probably won't change. I want to bring more people into the process, and let more people have a chance to enjoy things.

Number of Top 7 currently on my FL who have immunity this week - 0

Y'know, I was planning on adding you when this is all over. In the unlikely event that I win, I wanted to cover my own ass as much as possible against any accusations of "favoritism" or "OMG UNFAIR." Given that my efforts, or anybody else's efforts to prevent that, haven't seemed to work, I'm curious: what is everyone's idea of the "fair" winner?

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

This year we will all watch the Olympics. In every sport with some degree of subjectivity there will be controversy over the judging. Even in the so called objectively measured sports, there will be charges and countercharges of cheating. The thing I'll say about this game, is that Mister "G" has mixed it up so damn creatively that you have to say that it was about as F**king fair as could be humanly possible.

I think I'll compete next year, do my best (which means I'll spell three words right) be fairly eliminated the first round and bitch all season.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Oh, believe me, being on Gary's FL has more disadvantages in this game than advantages, unless one wants to believe past rumors of him rigging the game so that tulip_in_yellow wins. I don't want to, nor do I believe it based on less subjective methods of decision-making.

I see what you mean, though.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I was hoping that was the case. *A lot* of people waited until they were voted out to friend me. Which is cool, because I'm glad to have them onboard. (not sure they feel the same*g*) and quite frankly I don't have the time I should during a season to devote to my FL as is, so I always end up feeling guilty adding new people!

welfy just recently added me, which if you recall (I'm sure no one does, or cares for that matter)was my lament at the start of this season (which I think was misinterpreted by some), that the winner of Season 3 was someone that I didn't know *at all* outside of her entries and a couple emails. I was cool with it, because I'm pretty much always surprised when someone wants to friend me anyway, which is why I don't friend people, they have to friend me first - my life is a volunteer effort only. If you get into it, it's your own damn fault!*G*

I do understand wanting to keep your distance though. It's one of the things that I really, really regret was having someone get blasted because I said "You are going to Burger King" instead of "You are going to get some fast food".

We survived!

The whirlwind has come and gone. Trees still stand. The mountain is still in tact. spydielives has left the Berkshires. We had a great visit and Gary, we kicked her for you! Smile.

Re: We survived!

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

You kicked her? Dang, now there's going to be even more pressure on me to do the same when she gets here!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... veddy, veddy interesting!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I thought so!

[norda.livejournal.com]

Numbers of foes made this season - define "foe".*G*

Reminds me of the use of "thwart" as a noun in the webcomic Evil Inc.

Proof she really was here!

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Check out Spydiefarmaphobia (http://baxaphobia.livejournal.com/86456.html)!

I have a terrible migraine today and am very sad, because I have so many friends who aren't usually here in town this weekend and I need to suck it up to go out tonight. I feel really lonely for some reason.

Also, I've been ant-computer and haven't ventured on here in a good while, and find that I miss lj idol quite a lot.

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Good to see a post from you! Was wondering where you have been hiding!

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Very very interesting...

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Interesting stats.

I just had to come in here and say that I met spydielives! She's just as I expected her to be in person. Too bad the whole green room couldn't come along, but I don't think this small New England town was ready for that.

[chite.livejournal.com]

Wow. Really interesting stuff.

I am notoriously bad at managing my flist. I need reminders to add people, even when they have already added me. It comes from my not spending so much time at my computer as I used to, and having a crap laptop from which to get everything done.

That said, I finally added you, Gary, to my flist. Yeah. It was not a sleight. I really just kept forgetting.

Today I took a client to see a bazillion houses. My feet hurt a lot. Also, my legs hurt, my back hurts, and my brain is fried. And now a bazillion other agents are calling me to find out what they all thought. "Uh, they thought your property was crap because the ceiling was falling on them!" Can you say that? Really?

I had another scary real estate experience today as it was the second time I walked into a supposedly vacant house to find a family living there, hanging out, cooking, etc. It creeps me out.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

That does sound scary.

BTW - I am supposed to abduct you at some point so that you can meet some of these other fantastic people. You up for that?

*grin*

1,000,003 after talking to you this morning.

Made it home in my new (to me) car. I like it muchly.

And now I am heading to bed because I am going in to work tomorrow to try to get as much done as I can since this week will be busy with more training and saying my goodbyes.

Gary will be sad because I have a feeling at my new job, I won't be needing as much Pepsi. :)

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the new-to-you ride. I need a new car so bad it's not funny. I've put close to $4,000 into my 1998 car this year alone.

Sorry that I'm only now stumbling into the green room at 2:19am Sunday. We had a wrestling show that took up my whole Saturday. At least I got to see some hot guys in their undies. *g*

Sunday (today) is John's grandfather's 85 birthday, so we're having a party. I hope to take some pictures of me to post in my journal for y'all to see. :^)

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*hee hee*..

we want to see the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*s*

Breakfast Potluck

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

So how is everyone this morning? It is a nice crisp day here in Massachusetts. I am anxiously awaiting the next topic or topics, but Gary has yet to deliver.

So, since ewok has stopped feeding us for the time being, I thought maybe I could lay out some food since she sounds really busy.Of course, breakfast is a light thing around here so you all will have to contribute.

Lays out
Masses of hot biscuits
Appricot jam
Strawberry jam
and Blackberry jam

Puts on several pots of tea, with cream and sugar for those who want it. Of course, there is nearly any type of loose leaf tea you'd want. Pull up a cup.

Sorry the coffee maker and espresso machine have both died, but, you can always bring one, there is an extra plug.

Yeah, so, I'm procrastinating getting real work and real life done.

Re: Breakfast Potluck

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

mmm biscuits and strawberry jam...

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

*no I haven't seen the movie yet* I like the picture...

*waves*

I'm trying to keep myself cool...it's been really hot here.

And of course as the finish line approaches, I'm anxious to see who the winner will be for this season's Idol.. :)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Oh god, me too!!!!!

It could be ANY of them.

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

People that I am proud of for how well they did this season: 155.

Thank you Gary, this means a lot!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

*Showing up* to put yourself through something like this is a major accomplishment, people should be patting themselves on the back the moment they walk through that door regardless of when they end up walking out.

Numbers Update

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Since a couple of you have asked how long before someone can claim the prize of 50,000th comment - there are still 2,014 spots left to go. (just checked for you as promised)

Re: Numbers Update

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I need to get busy...

(and you can't claim it yourself, right?)
