Green Room - Week 8 - Day 6

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning and welcome to the WEEKEND!

I'm sure most of you have already gotten quite the head start on it! Or maybe you are still asleep, which, last time I checked, has never stopped someone from showing up in the Green Room anyway!

Today there is a lot on our plate - with The Main Competition deadline at 4pm EST today http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/409009.html and the deadline for people who want to sign up/jump on into the Second Chance pool being at 5pm EST http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/408328.html

It's more fun than you can shake a stick at, or would be, if you were the sort of person that shook sticks at fun! Maybe you are, and you will now go out of your way to prove that you can, indeed, shake a stick at this level of fun! But that seems to be more you dealing with your own issues than anything that concerns me! :)

Vote - Week 8

A few words from clauderainsrm:

Welcome back from your break! I hope the holidays were nice and that 2011 is treating you nice so far.

The contestants of LJ Idol have come up with some good news, and some bad news, for you.

The bad news is that the holidays are particularly rough, and always involve more than a little re-prioritizing for folks. That means we have some a group of talented people leaving us before this round even starts. They are:

drops
asharose
fortitudehigh
fourzoas
kungfufighting
lilly_rose
oberonia
sileri
sing_itback
xreesex

bye-outs
antianhedonia
astraevirgo
callistahogan
cobycaroline
gildedage
my_palimpsest
n_maranda_coy
trollied_dollie

The GOOD news is that we still have a ton of extremely talented people still around, this week writing about "First World Problems".

One of those just might be deciding who to vote for, but fortunately I have helped solve that by making sure that you can support as many of them as you want! So get out there, read, comment, and vote for your favorites!!

There are special powers in the game, as of the Break entries. The people who have them, and want to use them, need to notify me (and have confirmation that I received it) before the poll closes. The obvious exception to that is anyone who wanted to change tribes. Well, except stormkitty who decided to use her power right away!

She didn't know that they were shifting (for the most part, the old Tribe 7 is still intact, due to numbers, everything else was combined!)

The poll will be closing Tuesday Jan 11th at 9pm EST and the individual with the entry that receives the fewest votes in each tribe will be leaving us.

Good luck to everyone!

Topic - Second Chance Idol - Week 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

This is Second Chance Idol!

What is it? Another chance to get things right! (Or a chance to do something different/a chance for folks who missed the original sign up deadline, it's a chance, let's just leave it at that OK!!? :D)

Who are these people? What do they want?
http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/408328.html

Should be able to answer that. Or at least point you in the right direction.

It's not just the contestants who are getting a second chance though. It's the topics! For one reason or another, they ended up not being used during a previous season! A good thing? A bad thing? It's just what happened, and they have been sitting there, waiting for another season, and another chance to be considered!

People will be given an opportunity to (re)enter into the main competition:
http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/410651.html or be eliminated, and of course, there are no byes!

For the moment though, we need to get to the first topic. Which comes to us courtesy the "contestant suggestion box" from last season:

Take Heart

The deadline to link your entries back here, and a reminder: This thread is for LINKS TO ENTRIES ONLY is Tuesday Jan 11th at 10pm EST

Have fun!
