Eliminations Week 27

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Holy Grap People!!!

Our final week of immunities in Season 4 and we turn out TWO CONTESTANTS BREAKING THE PREVIOUSLY SET SEASON 4 VOTING RECORD (and one coming really really close). (there were a couple moments there that I thought we were shooting for the "all time" mark!) AND ANOTHER IMPORTANT MILESTONE.(see below for that one).

This week we say goodbye to

n_decisive

and

superhappytime

n_decisive was one of those contestants that people seemed to notice right off as being a contender. But not in an "OMG she's going to destroy us!" more of a, yeah, she has a good shot at winning, and I'm ok with that." Amazing writer and tremendous supporter of the process even when other people chose to remain silent you could always count on her to speak up when she thought something needed to be addressed. I really can't say enough good things about her. She's truly going to be missed around here.

superhappytime on the other hand. . . heh, ok, I need to be serious, even though I've been known to give the guy a hard time now and then. The truth of the matter, from Day 1 he *really* reminded me of pseudonymjones from Season 3. Which is a pretty high compliment considering that was most people's early pick to win the the whole thing last season.

Even when he was saying there was no way he was going to last, I saw that same spark in his writing.

That said, I promised a few paragraphs up to talk about another major accomplishment this week. I did some checking and I was in fact wrong with something that I've said multiple times this season. lifeofjason came in *7th* in Season 2. mezzominty did come in 6th during Season 1, so technically there is a tie, but considering that was out of 9 and this is out of 155 I think it's safe to say that superhappytime can now officially be considered the Most Dominant Male to Ever Play Idol with a 6th place finish. Congratulations!!


I know you both would have liked to go further, and there are many people who have supported you over these last *7 months* who would have loved to see that happen. But 6th and 7th out of 155? I don't think that's anything less than amazing and you both should be really proud of what you have accomplished.

Thank you for everything.

Wow.

Both of you have nothing to be ashamed of. Y'all are both really good writers.

Good job.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

Grats to the final five, and hugs to superhappytime and n_decisive who get to join the rest of us on this rather crowded sideline bench.

Hey, everybody, scooch down a little will ya?

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Alas, no judging left for us. :(

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

Good job to all of you. You've provided endless entertainment.

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Huge congratulations to the top five contestants! Wow, this was a close run this week!

Also:

Congratulations to n_decisive and superhappytime for such a fantastic run!!

Making it to the top seven out of 155 is totally amazing!

Now that the results are in, it's bedtime for me.

Have a happy Sunday everyone!

[eqfe.livejournal.com]

sleep well, you rock.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[chite.livejournal.com]

Wow.

That was a fantastic run.

I feel so honored to have met both of you.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

The pleasure is mine, great lady.

Hey n_decisive if you still want to make a donation to one of those causes, I'd toss in some cash!

Talked with Gary about opening it up as an Idol-wide thing, and he's behind that. I don't have the resources to deal with setting it up right now, though, as there's stuff here that requires the majority of my attention for the next few months.

Feel free, though, to organize something if you or a group of your friends are available to do so, though. It'd certainly be worth it.

And I won an immunity vote one round...which was voted on by a jury of my peers...so, really, that makes me feel like a real winner...my only regret is not buddying up to the right australian and farmer....

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

But the question remains, if any of them were lying in a ditch, dying of thirst, would you stop and give them water or let the rats and the snakes have their way with them as nature intended?*G*

[superhappytime.livejournal.com]

Unlike Sue, I hold myself to a higher standard. As long as they are female, attractive, unattached (or low on morals), I might give them a hand...;)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

heh, very nice.

So more of a Natalie more or less asking Parvarti out on a date speech then?*g*

[superhappytime.livejournal.com]

"What I really want to know is if you can follow up in the bedroom? Because my heaving bosom is aching for your touch, Parv. And if you can't step it up, I'm going to have to turn to my back up plan--Alexis."

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

You both did great and are so talented. Good job!

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[unsold-capacity.livejournal.com]

*pout*

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

? pout?

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

I don't like elimination time. It always sucks.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

I *am* proud. For all that people know I've struggled with during the competition, a handful know how much more was going on than what was mentioned.

Mostly, though, I'm grateful- I have had amazing people backing me and cheering me on- and that's what matters most to me in the end.

Thank you, ALL of you, for getting me so incredibly far.

:o)

For the Top Five:

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, all of you! You've come so far and done so well for yourselves- don't let go of that.

At this point, it seems like looking back is a better measure of success than gazing forward. Four people won't be THE winner, but when you think about where you are right this minute, and when you look at all the people who've helped you get there week after week, couldn't you almost quit now and know you won?

Good luck!

Re: For the Top Five:

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Devious plan, trying to get people to quit, but it won't get you back in!!!*G*

(Seriously, I know what you meant, and I'm sure they do too. Couldn't resist the obvious joke though!)

Re: For the Top Five:

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Pttthhht!

Yes, and as you know, up until the charity thing, I didn't have a strategical bone in my body, and it was my only one. (Not that I didn't think of a few other ways, but they were unacceptable to me.)

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Wow... Congrats to n_decisive and superhappytime for making it so far! :^)

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly, lady! :)

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

n_decisive and superhappytime are amazing to have made it this far. But damn, our last guy is gone now.

Ok gals, step it up a notch and do us women proud. Grin!

It gets harder each week.

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the compliment!

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

You are most welcome. Smile!
