Voting - Week 18

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from me:

The Month of Doom is coming to an end.

But it's not what you think.

The month started with us losing 6 contestants. Then came 8. Then 10. Last week it jumped to 14.

This week it is the staggering total of *5*.

You were expecting some other number perhaps?*G*

Doom to that expectation!!!

We also have the debut of a brand spanking new *special power*. Or rather power(s) because I will be handing out *two* of them. Unlike a lot of times I'm even going to come right now and tell you that I will be giving them to the person with the *most* votes and to the person with the *least amount of votes who is not eliminated*. Regardless of how the people receiving these chose to use them, calling it a potential game changer is an understatement. The impact could very well be huge!

For now though we have the actual process of voting.

Some really interesting entries this time around and I'm quite sure everyone is going to have a favorite or 40!*g* The only way to make sure your favorites get to the next round though is to vote for them!!


We have come so far, and yet in a lot of ways there is still a lot of game in front of us too! I'm really looking forward to seeing how this all ends up shaking out, and who will be selected as the NEXT LJ IDOL!!!!!!!


The poll is a regular every day old poll (you don't have to join the community to vote, although if you want to that's never a bad thing!*g*) will close Feb 2nd at 7pm EST and as I said, the 5 contestants with the lowest amount of votes will be leaving us. Make sure it's not *your favorites*.
Good luck to everyone.

yay for doom being almost over!

I know it doesn't count, but this is my second 1st in a poll thread

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I am the first response to your first. That's first squared.

[blueashke.livejournal.com]

Ok, five I can handle. Had me in a panic!

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Good luck everyone!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

*Phew* Five doesn't seem like much compared to 14, but it's still over 12% of the total contestants!!

*doom-da-doom-doom-DOOOOM*

I just think about it as an eighth and I feel better. :)

[mermaidkween.livejournal.com]

Fiancé summed up my thoughts nicely: "Five? That don't make no got-dang sense." (Hi, we live in Alabama.)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It keeps you on your toes.*G*

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Good luck everyone!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

If alycewilson winds up with the fewest votes (as a bye) will she still earn the power?

[Just checking]

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good question but no she would not be eligible.

If January is the Month Of Doom, then what will February be?

...er, maybe I shouldn't ask that.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The Month of MORE Doom!!!!!

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

The month of love! lol

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

February of course will be the Month of Mood... it's like the Month of Doom, only bass-ackwards. :)

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

So, Gare...

What are these powers?

The masses are curious.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I'm sure the masses will be able to wait!

Or even better, I'm sure they will vote!!

[pinkslit.livejournal.com]

Wow...so many awesome entries this week.

Where is the appropriate place to post a Home Game entry? Just post in GR and stuff?

edit: Heck, wanna post it tonight so I'll just post it here. I hope to get some reads outside my f-list, it's been a rough time deciding to post it or not.

It's time to stop lying (http://pinkslit.livejournal.com/257540.html)

[robertlyon.livejournal.com]

Damn, what happened to everyone. I'm ready for the next season already which will be my first.

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Hi, you are LJ friends with my sister. :)

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

Every time someone says Month of Doom, I imagine the same effect that saying "Frau Blücher" happening. hehe

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

What happens if there's a tie for the lowest number of votes? Run off?

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

usually yes, there is a run off for a tie

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

So I wake up to some kind of noxious fumes throughout my entire house, apparently caused by my oil furnace.

It was so bad I took the boy to his grandma's house, and came back and have opened all the windows in the house. I am now waiting for the oil guy to call me back. We'll see what happens.

May I remind you that it is freezing outside.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Oh crap, that's happened to me a couple of times. Usually it's because the whatchamacallit in the starter (the cylindrical thingy down toward the bottom) burns itself out, which means you lose the pilot light, the oil backs up...ergo, noxious fumes. The last time it happened I had laundry hanging on the line in front of the burner :shudder:

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

My feet are cold.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

:pulls on a pair of fluffy socks over Spydie's poor cold tootsies:

This puppy we're fostering is a pain in the butt.

Just wanted to share.

She's also adorable, so it's okay.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

She's also adorable,

This is how they survive.

Since I promised my readers I wouldn't ask for votes if I got into the top 50, it looks as though I'm not going to make it. There has been proof in the recent past for last-minute miracles, but I doubt it.

*looking stoic on the outside, crossing my fingers and hoping on the inside*

That being said, go RM! Wow!

[pinkslit.livejournal.com]

RM's entry this week is awesome! I think a lot of people can relate to it, even if they didn't have to wear the short white gloves as a kid. I know I related.

I believe in last-minute miracles. Why are you not pimping? What is it that Tyrone Biggums says? "You gotta play to win!"

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*SPEECHLESS*

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there was some un-voting between the time I left work and the time I got home. This is crazy.
