Week 14 Run offs

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It's that time again. Time to make the results official and say goodbye. This time around we have a run off in the mix too. So someone is going to get another chance.

However, before we get to that we have to say goodbye to a few well loved contestants you just ended up coming up short vote wise this week:


pelsandfriends
thndrstd
gutterlust
stegzy

But wait - what about
sabbysteg??? Weren't they about to be eliminated as well?

That was where the immunity was used! sabbsteg lives to fight another day by being saved by mermaidkween!

Which in turn creates a *second run-off*!!

Voting for the run-off starts now and will closed tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan 6th at 7pm EST. The poll is community only, so you do have to join the community in order to vote. The bottom vote getter in each poll will be eliminated.



[Poll #1325997]

edit to add Note: Since it is one poll with two questions I can't close it without closing both of them. But the first poll is now void due to johnmill79 heroically sacrificing himself to allow "the newbies" another chance.

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

This is so sad. :(

*blows kisses* It was fun while it lasted. Thanks to all who kept Pels in it this far. And good luck to everyone!

*will miss Pels' writing...*

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Agreed! I looked forward to that series every week, and each episode got my vote. I'm surprised it didn't fare better.

[tryslora]

Thanks... I'll try to jump back into the home game, but I think taking a break for a bit is probably the right thing for me. Maybe I can get the quality of my entries back up after that. It's been fun exploring the characters.

*nail bites*

[deza.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry to see them go.

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

I don't have the words... : (

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Wow, it's sad to lose so many at once. You'll all be missed!

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

That's a lot of good writers gone! :(

[thndrstd.livejournal.com]

It was fun while it lasted. Thanks to all those who supported me this far, and best of luck to all the remaining competitors.

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

You guys will be missed!

[thenodrin.livejournal.com]

We've gotten to the point where I'm sorry to see anybody go. :-(

But, I know they (or I) have to. That's the way the game works.

Theno

[dabhug.livejournal.com]

I really hate to see you all go.

Y'all try and do the home game, please.

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

I should probably refrain from looking at this thing. lol

*is sad*

Cashing It In

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Because A. it is a community-only vote, which I don't stand a chance of winning, and B. I think the newbies should have another chance, I am hereby withdrawing myself from the contest. Good luck to jenandbronze and nursemae. Guess I'll just stick around and play the home game. It's been a fun ride, though.

Re: Cashing It In

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

That is so sweet of you! I agree, even if I wasn't around, I would still do home game entries and visit the Green Room. I will continue to be a part of the writing community, next season, if there is going to be one. LOL!

However, I am going to write an entry anyways, even if I am still in or not.

Re: Cashing It In

[rejeneration.livejournal.com]

Awww johnmill79, what an incredible gesture! I had a lot of friends vote for you this week, I'm only sorry it didn't help. =( This is very, very, very sweet, though, but I still think you should try and stick around!

Re: Cashing It In

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I'm thinking this is the best thing for me to do. I do appreciate the love, though. And I'll definitely still be reading your stuff! I think you got my attention with the Thanksgiving entry and haven't let it go sense. I hope you go far.

Re: Cashing It In

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Are you *sure*?

That poll is tightening up.

Granted it's a wonderful gesture. But I want to make sure you really want to take that bow right now before making it official.

Re: Cashing It In

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm bowing out. It's been fun, though.

Re: Cashing It In

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed getting to know you through your entries. I am not sure if we are allowed to do this here, so I am sorry if we are not, but feel free to add me if you would like. I will miss you.

Re: Cashing It In

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Will do.

Re: Cashing It In

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Not sure if you can interact act with people and ask to friend them?

You can do any of that in anything but a topic post! There's nothing to get lost in the jumble here!*g*

Re: Cashing It In

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Okay, good. I wasn't sure if there was something in the idol code of ethics for pimping out friendships in the green room. :)

Did you get my email?

Re: Cashing It In

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Received and responded to it. Hope that helps.

Friendships are part of why people come to Idol.

Re: Cashing It In

[nursemae.livejournal.com]

Oh my, what a noble gesture! I've been offline a couple days due to bad satellite issues with the ice storm here, and I get on tonight to see emails about runoffs and the like, then scramble over here to play catch-up!

Thank you, this has been fun (and maybe a wee bit stressful, hah!) so far. I've enjoyed your writing!

Re: Cashing It In

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I've enjoyed yours as well. I especially liked the last piece. And now I'm glad I made that move, as you weren't available to vouch for yourself. Have fun!

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I'm sad to see some good writers go. This just gets harder and harder!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

*nods* Every week it gets rougher. Kind of like sprinting up a mountain side.

Another reason why I like the marathon approach rather than mass eliminations. Start slow with getting rid of people and then pick up the pace in the middle.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I think one of the things that makes it harder every week is when you see how far some of these writers have come. I've been very impressed at some of the improvements. Hopefully, the contestants see that, as well.

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

What does it mean when a poll is void????

[finding_helena]

johnmill79 dropped out so you and nursemae get to stay, and there's no reason for anyone to vote in the poll since the results won't be used.

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

Gotcha, so I can submit my entry now then! Yay!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Now it's just a battle between a veteran and a newbie!!!

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

Well blast. Some really good folks leaving this week. And that is a very sweet thing of you to do John by droping out. I am really going to miss you though. I am glad I have you as a friend though.

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Very glad to have you as a friend as well.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I agree, John. It was sweet of you to agree to bow out. But I'm not really surprised, since reading your entries over the last several weeks has given me some sense of your personality, and it does seem to fit what I've read!

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Always late to the party, aren't I??


I'm very sad to see these people go. Some of my favourites are in there.
I'm also glad I didn't have to vote in the first poll, as all three are my friends and I didn't want to pick (and wouldn't have). That's a very sweet gesture of you johnmill79

Bah, I hate these :(
