Green Room - Week 42 - Day 3

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I went into this week thinking that there were 3 likely scenarios for how this was going to play out. Which, considering that there are 4 people left, that's still pretty much up in the air.

Just the various factors seemed to be lining up that way, and would either confirm or restructure the narrative of the last part of this season that exists entirely in my head.

I was pretty sure though that one of those 4 was a shoo-in to get to the finale.

Now? http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/848632.html

Now I think there are 4 scenarios and no one is safe.

Two veterans vs two newbies

Two underdogs vs two people who have had their names "in the mix" to win since Day 1.

It's coming down to this last vote to decide who is going to have a shot to plead their case, and right now (as I'm writing this) there is a 3 vote margin between being the person who is out and the person with the most votes!

This could very well come down to the wire, so please make sure to keep all hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times!

Results - Week 42

It came down to a couple votes.

Which is the way it should be with these four.

But, unfortunately, someone had to leave right before the finals.

That someone is crisp_sobriety, who came out of Last Chance Idol and managed to battle it out week after week, producing some amazing work in the process.

I can't even say "I hope you Home Game for the rest of the season", because the "rest of the season" is just a couple days away from ending. But I will say that I really hope that we will continue to see you around these parts, not only as a contestant, but as a community member, because I think you really brought a lot of good things to the table.

Thank you for coming out and helping to make this season special.

Final Topic - Week 43

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

There is a tradition we have in LJ Idol.

Every season, we end with the same topic.

You have made a long journey together in a full season. In THIS season, you have made the longest journey of all time.

You have made friends, maybe a few enemies.

It's not just about sharing a space. It's about being able to express what that means -

while balancing out making your case and showcasing the talent of those who have gotten here with you.

That topic is Why I Should Win LJ Idol/Why My Opponents Should Win

I'm really looking forward to seeing how you each decide to close this season out.

The deadline to link your entries back to this thread is Monday, March 23rd at 8pm EST

Have fun!
