Green Room - Week 36 - 7

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Today is the final day to determine what the payoff of this season is going to be - what is going to happen after nearly 10 months, who will be facing off against each other in what is shaping up to be an incredibly talented and even more cordial finale! ("No, No, after YOU.." :p)

So make sure you read and vote for the contestant(s) who have put out work this week, and over the course of the season, that have made you want to see them in the finals. (Technically that's all three of them - but everyone has an opinion on that sort of thing and taste varies greatly)

Thanks to the decision yesterday in California, it looks like everyone will be require to marry someone who is gay.
Or become gay.

I'm not sure. It's very confusing. All I know is that those ultra liberal Reagan appointed activist judges are once again out of control with their progressive agendas! :)

Seriously though, I imagine that there will be appeals filed right until the Supreme Court decides to hear the case. Possibly going back and forth.

It's going to be an interesting debate to say the least. It's just sad that we have to have it.

Results - Week 36

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

What a wild ride!!! In the end, *no one* was completely safe. Which, considering the quality of all three of these contestants, is entirely appropriate.

Someone did have to go though, and this time it turned out to be talonkarrde88.

What an AMAZING run though.

From the person who (if it had not been a "non elimination" round) WOULD HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED in Week 0 to becoming the highest ranking male contestant in LJ Idol history!

Not bad.

From the person who, due to technical difficulties, would have been automatically eliminated if not for the decision of his fellow contestants to keep him in, and thus not really given much of a chance of being able to pull it off in some circles- to go out just *2* votes shy.

Not bad at all.

Being a risk taker from Day 1 - skirting deadlines, embracing fiction and just all in all making the whole thing a lot of fun to watch! (if you call "giving me heart attacks" fun. If so, he was a hoot!! ;p)

One hell of a writer, and a truly great guy, is leaving us today.

Thank you for everything.

Topic - Week 37 - Finale

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

October 5th 2009 - The Sign Up Sheet for Season 6 was posted and people started to file in, many of them wondering "What the hell am I getting into this time?"

Among them - our two finalists beautyofgrey and rattsu.

August 5th 2010 - The final topic is posted to draw this season to a close, and still those two are wondering "What the hell did I get myself into this time?"

That topic? To the surprise of no one (especially when I've already mentioned the retro-Idol theme this season) the final topic is the traditional

Why I Should Win LJ Idol/Why My Opponent Should Win


One entry. Make your case *and* make the case for your opponent as well.


There are valid reasons for both of you, and now is time for you to exercise that writing ability we know you have to convince us to vote for your opponent. :P



Your deadline to link your last entry of Season 6 back to this thread is Saturday August 7th at 7pm EDT.

Good luck to both of you.

Bonus Entry

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I said last week was the final "Home Game" entry.

It was.

Because the "Home Game" is where people who are not current contestants write the same topic as the people who will be facing the vote.

Obviously, this week that wouldn't even be vaguely appropriate. The spotlight is, and should be, theirs.

They have more than earned in.

But the rest of you out there in Idol-land, I have one last entry for you to participate in and link back.

Many of you have played the game - or at least have been following it for awhile.

You have strong opinions. I know you guys, you're never short on strong opinions. :p

So here you go - the entry/entries on your plate, the last of Season 6 is quite simply

Why beautyofgrey should be the next LJ Idol" AND "Why rattsu should be the next LJ Idol".

It's pretty straight forward. Just make your case!

Link them back here. Have fun with it.
