Tonight [livejournal.com profile] silverwisdom officially takes 75th place in Season Five of LJ Idol.

Which when all is said and done, in a field this big, is pretty damn good.

I don't want to step on any big reveals, and heck, the "big reveal" might not even be all that big in some circles. But it's plenty big in some.

[livejournal.com profile] silverwisdom is actually someone that I have known online for roughly 10 years now. I actually *just this moment* realized that it was 1999 when I first came across him! Wow. That's kind of scary.

Great guy and a talented writer. I was extremely flattered when he signed up for this season, and I hope that he was able to get out of the experience what he was looking for, and that he will continue to hang around in the Home Game/Green Room!

***

And because people have asked me: Hitting 75 means that there are no more byes. If you saved one for a special occasion I would suggest printing it out and framing it for your wall. Because it can't be used here!*g*

That means that this week is the last week to use our byes right? (I say, trying to avoid the same demise as last year).

Nope. I think byes are now expired.

Well, it eliminates a strategic decision for me, but I can't help but anticipate a repeat of last year's turn of events (just hopefully with more civility).

75th? So that means I made the top 75. Nice, I can live with that, especially as I've been close to the drop on several previous occasions :)

Good luck to the rest of you. À bientôt!

I think all the people who didn't use there byes should be thrown into a tribe where 1 person is eliminated each week. And everyone else should be put in a second tribe where 10 are taken out. Month of Doom those mofos.

Real competitors want to battle adversity...I guess some people prefer to take the road MORE traveled, though ;)

yeah...though it would be the equivalent of having your team correctly call the coin toss on a Thanksgiving Day game, and then giving the ball to the other team to start overtime.

I'm perversely glad that I didn't use any byes. Now I can frame it.... And now the Month of Doom is that much... doomier.

Date: 2009-01-07 02:53 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com
What sort of frame do you plan on using? :)

I need an idea on how to frame mine.

I wish I could frame it, but I don't have any spare frames. I think I'll hang it from my rear-view mirror after I crochet a tie for it.

Another Non-Bye-r

Date: 2009-01-07 04:06 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] theafaye.livejournal.com
My non-use of bye was pure accident. I wasn't expecting a warning that this was the last week of byes, but at the same time I think I semi-was because I wasn't keeping track of competitor numbers. I got into the habit of not using it because I was saving it for the baby (and didn't want to rely on Gary's generosity for a bonus bye) and that habit continued after Gary said that I was allowed to have a week off to have a baby (as long as I didn't let it happen again and called the child Idol).

Had I known last week was the last week of byes before the polls were posted, I would have used it for sure - I really didn't like the topic and wasn't massively happy with my entry. But since it got me enough votes to see it through to this week, none of it matters. I'm still here.

Now this week I'm much happier with my entry, which of course means that I'm bound to be leaving...

It was the same way with me (except I didn't have a baby, obviously!) I didn't really plan to not use my bye, it just didn't happen. I thought I might need it during exams, or Christmas, or if there was some week I just couldn't handle the topic, but I ended up not needing it.

[livejournal.com profile] silverwisdom with permission can I friend you? Don't want to loose you, but hope you will write home-game entries.

Sure, I don't mind that at all, though I am placing that LJ on hold for a while and going back to my proper LJ, and you're welcome to friend me there as well (it's a friends only journal because... well stuff happened) though it's not been updated properly in a bit but I occasionally have flashes of inspiration!
