If you missed it, the Spirit of LJ IDOL, for Season 8, was revealed last night: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/588074.html

What you haven't missed, yet, is the poll: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/587399.html

It's a big poll, with big stakes. Which is what has been keeping the vampires away.

There may be big steaks as well. So let the cook know how you want them.

What a week, and what a finish! I was starting to think we were heading to “run-off of a run-off” territory!

There is a lot to get into, so I won’t waste any more time getting into it.

First up: The news on “What Special Power did [livejournal.com profile] halfshellvenus, as the Spirit of LJ Idol, select?

Her options were:
- immunity (self)
- immunity to give away
- a bye
- bring two eliminated contestants back into the game.

All of these powers would be good until the Top 5.

She ultimately decided on the bye.

Congratulations, and use it wisely!

Now for the poll results, or more importantly, to find out who will be leaving us this week.

Once this is over, we will be at our “Top Ten”, which means that anyone leaving us at this point is pretty much a legit superstar and I really don’t want to hear that they’re not, even from themselves. ;)

I’ll go ahead and announce the Jury’s selections for immunity, since that does have an impact on the results. I had them choosing two individuals this time - and the two contestants who are immune, thanks to the literal Jury of their peers - are [livejournal.com profile] halfshellvenus and [livejournal.com profile] alycewilson!

Congratulations to both of you!

Which leads right into the vote itself.

People speculated on “what order would the polls be ranked...” and the answer is “the usual way”, top to bottom. So, if someone was eliminated in a previous poll, they can’t be eliminated a second time!

In the run-off, we lost the superstar of superstars - the person who, barring some sort of major act of gods, and/or she doesn’t show up next season at all - has such a huge lead in the “Number of Weeks Survived in Idol” that I don’t see anyone ever catching her!

Yes, we are saying goodbye to the one and only [livejournal.com profile] imafarmgirl.

We are also losing the legendary [livejournal.com profile] beldarzfixon Well, this identity isn’t legendary, but his regular one is, and considering that it’s the worst disguise *ever*... ;)

The next poll down is a little more tricky: The person on the bottom has already been eliminated. So it shifts one person up. The next person in line has immunity. Which shifts it up to a tie!

But... one of those individuals also has immunity!

Which means we end up saying goodbye to our only newbie leaving us this round! But considering the odds she was up against, it was a truly wonderful run, and I hope that she will be beaming with pride. Especially given all the buzz at various points that she might actually end up in the finals.It didn’t happen - but she certainly got really close!! She deserves every accolade she gets! Goodbye to [livejournal.com profile] alien_infinity

Next up, we are saying goodbye to someone that I, personally, wish more people had gotten into earlier than they did. That sounds funny given how close he got to the end, but I, personally, count myself as a fan. He’s certainly been one of my favorites this season, I always knew when I clicked on the entries that I would be getting something entertaining. Farewell to [livejournal.com profile] the_day_setup!

Finally, we come to the final poll/result and saying goodbye to someone who, again, I don’t think ever gets the attention she deserves, despite continually doing really, really well! So, I get to say goodbye to her again - [livejournal.com profile] yachiru

Thank you to all of you. You were amazing. I hope that we continue to see you in the Home Game! (oh, and of course Welcome to the Jury! With how close these things have been all season long, I have a feeling you are going to be having a pretty huge impact over the next couple of weeks!)

No one will be surprised to learn that the topic they left behind last week is one of their topics this time.

What might surprise them though is that they will need to *Select a Champion* to write it for them!

Part of being a LJ Idol is about who you can bring into the fold, and who is the person that you are willing to put your life in the competition in their hands.

It has to be someone who has not participated in Idol/Second Chance Idol this season.! It’s the perfect time to introduce them to madness first hand!

You also have a second topic.
This one you will be writing.

That one is Sins of Omission

The entries should be linked back to this thread by Tuesday, July 24th at 8pm EDT

Have fun!

I almost decided that the Top 10 really didn’t need a Work Room. After all, they should be able to figure things out in their own heads, right? ;)

But then I remembered that this was going to be Champions Week http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/588906.html, and that puts a special twist on things! Especially given that it has to be someone who hasn’t participated this season. That does mean alumni are eligible. But it also means that the person you have been telling all season long that they need to participate in our final season can have a first hand preview of the insanity!

Do you have someone in mind? If so, what are your criteria for choosing your Champion?

What sort of person willingly dives into the Top 10 of a Idol season anyway? ;)

I guess we are going to find out! Welcome to any and all of the Champions who decide to post here!

You asked for it. You demanded it. You’ve sent me countless messages about it.

So, here it is.

Your Home Game thread!

Enjoy it.

If you are not a contestant (or Champion), post your entry links here!
