Eliminations, Week 12

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Elimination time is always hard. This week is no exception.


This time I think it's fair to say that it's srsly difficult because everyone's favorite foil and Grand Master of Rap is going.

Granted when I saw my email this week growing after he posted I knew he was in for an uphill battle, and seemed to want it that way! But still, I thought he would overcome it, and heck, he almost did!!

We are also losing the last of our tribe leaders who managed to endear herself to quite a few people around here - and another sentimental favorite of Idol veterans:

millysdaughter
celticboy

*very sad to see all three of them leaving*

Plz to come around the green rooms?

[srs-bidness.livejournal.com]

Were you getting complaints via email? Funny, I didn't receive any.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I told them if they had a problem that they should talk to you. Apparently they didn't.

I love it when people's vote totals go down just before the polls close...I always think this would be a lot more "about the writing" if we could see who is voting for whom...and who does that stuff. Not that I have a problem with all the mystery and "oh yeah, I voted for you this week!" when there is no way of knowing if that's true...

[thenodrin.livejournal.com]

It never occurred to me that votes could go down.

I can't speak for anyone else, but it is because the votes are secret that it is more about the writing for me. I sometimes feel bad that I'm not voting for this or that person whom I like, but then I re-read the entry and if I honestly think that this particular week they lobbed a dud, then I don't vote.

I'm not sure that I would still do that if the votes were not secret.

I vote solely for the writing. It has nothing to do with who I want to stay and who I want to go. I personally don't rearrange votes, though I had to vote at the last minute this time because I've been deathly ill.

I don't think I could vote my conscience if the votes weren't secret. Certain people would be expecting votes whether they'd written well or not and I wouldn't feel comfortable not voting for them if they knew. The anonymity of the vote makes it more about the writing for me. I don't have to think so much about the vote beyond deciding whether or not the entry actually stood out enough to warrant that check in the box.

I'm also sad to see Millysdaughter and celticboy do, too.

Thank you.

[kiwiria.livejournal.com]

Phew! That was too close for comfort. Thanks for the week off, clauderainsrm! Somehow I don't see myself having all that much time to spend in front of the computer this week.

Merry Christmas everybody :)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

So since all the tribe leaders are now gone, are you going to rename the tribes for the next vote, or mix 'em up again all together?

Also, thanks for the week off! :)

It is a sad day in LJ Idol.

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

Man, three of my favorites too. Damn! Well, you guys better hang around for the home game.

[solstice-singer.livejournal.com]

It makes me sad to see
millysdaughter
leave us. (Sigh)

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Me too. :(

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd be out long before srs. Good people gone this week.

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

It is so sad.

I don't think you will be leaving us any time soon darling. :)

[millysdaughter.livejournal.com]

It was fun -- I am glad I gave it a shot!

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Will you still play the home game and be in the green rooms? *will miss your writing*

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

Boo, I wish one of them would have let me know they were in danger. I would've pulled out the immunity card.

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Saving it for me?

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

I thought my boob was doing better this morning but it is hurting again.

To those on my friends list, I closed a jewelery box on it last night.

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

When I get eliminated, can you use a large amount of kws where qus should be?

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

HOLY CRAP, Roomies!

Thirty-five comments ago we crossed 75,000 comments, and no one was even looking!

Well that wasn't much fun. :(

Guess we'll have to start watching for the 100,000th comment.

[millysdaughter.livejournal.com]

How do you know this? Am I missing a counter on here someplace?
