Voting - Week 19

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from me:

Thank you for coming.

As you know, these are tough economic times and the management has spent the last couple of weeks crunching the numbers trying to find creative ways to stretch our departmental budget.

Unfortunately it has been determined that this week we will be continuing to right size our contestant list in order to maximize labor costs.

Six positions are going to be eliminated from our writing force this week.

The good thing though is that *you* will be given the opportunity to chose who will stay employed at the LJ Idol Corporation and who will be receiving a copy of the Home Game and a life time supply of virtual Rice-a-Roni.

The six with the lowest vote totals when the poll ends on Monday Feb 9th at 7 pm EST will be eliminated.

There are a lot of really cool entries this week, and anyone going home at this point is going to be hard. They all are quite talented. This isn't going to be an easy vote. I doubt any of them from now until the end are. . . congratulations to everyone for making it to this point, and good luck to you all!

[Poll #1345081]

Whee, second to vote! I'm excited to see some of my favorite writers really hanging in there, and I'm happy to still be able to read entries and vote every now and then.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Hah! Then I know either you or the other person didn't vote for me ::squints suspiciously::

:D

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

6 of 36? Thats 17%, which is higher than it was during most of the month of doom I believe! O=

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that'll bring us to an even 30 contestants remaining... whee...

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

It's probably a good thing I like Rice-a-Roni lol.

Ding Ding!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I've always suspected Gary was a little dingy... ;)

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA :)

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

I'm trading my rice-a-roni in for Near East instead. Or Zatarain's.

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

public vote or community only?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It's public. I always try to point out when it's not.

Public voting is the default.

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

cool, thanks.

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

So is hippie kicking.

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

bwahahaha

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

exactly. :)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Kicking hippies is *always* the right thing to do!!!*G*

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Hey Gary, the link to thenodrin's entry goes to scienter's entry instead...

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I even checked to make sure the links were working.

I will say that it's been quite some time since a mistake has been made on the polls! (and of course it *would* have to be me!)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

On the plus side, all the links *worked* they just didn't all go to the right place! :)

[thenodrin.livejournal.com]

Obviously, if people liked Scienter's entry, they are supposed to vote for both of us. :-)

Theno

NOTE: The link for thenodrin's entry goes to scienter's entry.

Edit: ninja'd!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the heads up.

*head thunk*

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! I iz sneaky!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*done*

Can I sleep now?

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Wonderful writing everyone. Best of luck to everyone, too. It's going to be hard to lose 6 people.

I'm probably going to be watching the polls all week; I wrote way outside of my comfort zone in a genre I'd never tried before so I'm eager to see how it fairs.

[jfargo.livejournal.com]

You know, I have to be honest; it's almost a relief to not have to worry about the poll for the weekend.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be happier to still be up there, but I've got to look on the bright side. :)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

See what happens though - I don't have you in the poll and suddenly I mess one up!*G*

[jfargo.livejournal.com]

Well maybe next week you should add me back to the poll. You know, just in case? *Grins*

[johnmill79.livejournal.com]

Well for the first time this season, I've read all the entries before Saturday! Looks like 21 made my voting list, good job.

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

Just voted for my favorites, and it happens to be my Top Ten. It's so good to be back in the trenches, biting my nails and obsessively checking the polls while my wife says "Damnit, Kim, get off the computer!" and Abbi asks, "are you still in the game?"

[morning-stand.livejournal.com]

hey friends :) long time no see! things have been busy here. I recently moved in with my boyfriend and I am in the process of getting a second job. so all is well :) I miss everyone. I can't wait for next season :)

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Nice to see you here! ::hugs::

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

I know I haven't been in the Green Room the last few days.... but a bug has decided to attack me, so I was down for about 48 hours. I am over the worst, now I get the wonderful sniffing and coughing, which isnt as bad as dealing with fevers and nasty sore throats that makes swallowing difficult, as the pain reverberated *not sure if that is the right word... brain tired*, all the way to my eustachian tube.. OW!

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Dear Gary

I think it would be really funny / fun / interesting to have either/both (maybe in seperate seasons) a week where you try to write like a different contestant, and a week where you take an entry a different contestant did earlier and write it in your own style.

The end.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Such interesting vote patterns...

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Interesting jumps in the numbers.

I'm starting to wonder if I know what's "good" anymore.

[lilmissmagic71.livejournal.com]

*gulp* I'm just starting to worry, myself.

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

*nodding*

I have been taking vote snapshots, and some of the leaps are ... amazing!
