Results - Week 21

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

This is one of those week's where I'm really glad that it was public voting and not "Gary only". One, because I think I would have had a very difficult time making this decision - and more importantly, that it's one of those weeks where you hope that the most people possible are coming out to read.

It was just that good!

The question that everyone has been wondering is "What team did amenquohi end up joining? With an odd number of contestants, she didn't end up getting picked as anyone's partner. Which made her a Wild Card, capable of jumping onto any team she wanted. From the "Bastard Step Child" to the "Queen of Idol" for a week! Not bad at all! :)

Who did she pick? She joined forces with redvelvetgrrl and superhappytime! With those combined totals, they are more than safe.

In what seems to be a tradition here, in particular with this season, the vote came down to a couple votes. I know, it doesn't do anyone leaving any good to know, but it was almost a 6-team tie!

As it though, we have to say goodbye to people. If I would have had to pick at the start of this week, it's not a combination of people leaving that I would have foreseen. But, I guess that's why we put it out there.

Regardless, though, all of them have made it into the Top 50. Of the four, three of them are veterans and another a long-time supporter with an interesting connection, trying her hand for the first time.

Goodbye to (although hopefully not from the Home Game and hanging around!)

100 Weeks

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

In the midst of the bad news of eliminations http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/451484.html, there is a bit of good news.

Historic good news.

Well, Idol history at any rate.

Now that she has officially survived Week 21, imafarmgirl becomes the first contestant ever to reach 100 Weeks playing the game.

*round of applause*

When she first showed up in Season 3, there was a lot of speculation that she could actually win it. Real life ended up taking her out much too soon then, but she's kept coming back.

Back then, JAWS was just a movie about a shark!

When she started, she was "the blind writer"! It's amazing how much that one season changed Idol and a lot of people's perspectives.

These days, she's the pain in my butt... oh, I meant "extremely talented writer"!! I get those confused.

Anyone who has played Idol knows how tough it can be to have a decent season, and make it far, much less be able to do it with increasing competition! It's a remarkable accomplishment!

Congratulations imafarmgirl!!!

Intersection

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Another week - another intersection!!

Before you start writing though, just a couple things to throw out there:

- The topics are the same. You will be writing whichever one you didn't last week.

- You need to pick a new intersection partner! You can not work with the same person you worked with last week.

So, new person - who wrote the opposite entry as you last week! That wasn't so difficult now was it?

Of course not.

Now get to picking, and declaring, your partners!!! :)

Topic - Week 22

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

As I said in the intersection post, this week the topics are the same as last week.

Playing the Odds and Open Topic and you need to write whichever one you did not write last week.

The deadline to link your entries back here is Tuesday April 19th at 9pm EDT.

Have fun!!
