Eliminations - Week 19

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

When I looked over the list of the contestants leaving us this week I realized that they were all people that I liked a great deal and wanted to stick around.

But then I looked over the list of people *not* leaving and realized that it was pretty much impossible for their *not* to be a list of people that I liked and wanted to stick around.

Fortunately though, these 6 contestants might be leaving the game, but they *won't* be completely leaving us!!

*Notices the raised eyebrows*

The following 6 contestants have been eliminated from the contest - but are now crossing over to the other side as THE FIRST MEMBERS OF OUR JURY!!!!!

For those who don't know what that means - from now until I say otherwise (heh) - every week the jury will be casting votes handing out immunity!!

From "out of the game" to being some of the most powerful influences on how the contest will play out in one easy step.

That being said, the first 6 members of the jury are:

baxaphobia
blueashke
roina_arwen
thenodrin
tsarina
xo_kizzy_xo

Goodbye - and welcome to the jury!!!!

*cries*

You guys were all great!!

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Sorry to see them all go...they are all fantastic writers

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

Well I don't know whether to be sad, cautious, intrigued....lol *confuzzled*.

It's kinda cool though :)

[blueashke.livejournal.com]

Can't say I didn't see it coming, but I had so much fun, and yay for being on the jury!

[robertlyon.livejournal.com]

I thought you were one of the better writers in this competition actually.

[winterberries.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there are some really good people leaving this week -- some of my favorites from way back. I hope we'll see you guys in the Home Game. And congrats on this jury thing! :)

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Horrible! I hate to see these people go. This is awful. Especially my favoritist <lj user=baxaphobia!

:suddenly has deja vu:

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

were you on the jury last season?

[thenodrin.livejournal.com]

"The following 6 contestants have been eliminated from the contest - but are now crossing over to the other side as THE FIRST MEMBERS OF OUR JURY!!!!!"

To quote The Tenth Doctor, "What?"

Theno

[edith-jones.livejournal.com]

They eliminated you? I'm so sorry. Your writing was always so interesting and you had some really different takes on subjects that were intriguing. Hope you'll be back next year!

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

oh wow i forgot about the whole jury thing from last season.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

There's an interesting twist!

Edit: I agree with the sentiment of others that we have some good people leaving this week. I think we can safely say that from now on out.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I kinda figured I was going home this week, but it's been a fun run and at least I've got some damn fine company on The Jury!

Gary - will you be emailing us Jurors more information about how we're voting for immunities?

I don't remember a jury last season (except for the Gatekeepers) but then again I guess I didn't get far enough to be on it?

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

That's a whole heap of my f-listers there (plus a couple of other fab writers) :o(

Darn it - I forgot about the jury thing. Missed it by *that* much - but I know you guys will do a great job.

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

DAMN. I am so sorry to see you guys go. But I'm glad you're still involved...so are you guys in a sequestered house now?

Gary is right when he says there was no real elimination list to not be upset over. But, you guys didn't make it to the top 40 by being slouchy writers.

DAMNFUCKSHIT

We have been rounded up by the Time Police, are now housed one second in the future and are being denied any outside contact.

Fortunately, you are a figment of my deranged imagination. So we can still communicate.

;-)

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Sitin' in the Garden eatin' worms!

hahahahahaha.

It was a good run. I completely forgot about the jury! Mwahahahahaha!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Ewww...you really don't want to eat worms, do you? They're SLIMY!

:shudder:

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

Well...a brief explanation for the confuzzled and why I'm having deja vu:

I was, I believe, one of the first members of the jury last season.

The jury has Special Powers.

What these powers are, of course, are at the discretion of our hippie-kicking host. Will they be the same as they were last season? Totally different? I have no idea.

[thenodrin.livejournal.com]

Can I have the power to kick a hippie?

Or, do I have to cut my hair first?

Theno

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Seriously, the whole list is group of amazing writers. Everyone of them are talented, and I remember when I first read their pieces during this competition I felt quite intimidated.

:(

[hexkitten.livejournal.com]

Oh, you guys... :(

[az-starshine.livejournal.com]

*sobs*

I'll miss you guys!

Welcome to the jury though.

[robertlyon.livejournal.com]

Damn, that's a good twist.

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

Agreed. And it's much more positive to say: "Welcome to the jury" rather than "You're eliminated."

[bewize.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I'm stunned to NOT see my name on this list, and truly saddened to see the people on it.

What a ride...

Never Having to Say Heh

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Gary, in re the new topic:

"Love Means Never Having to Say ... Heh."?? ;D

Re: Never Having to Say Heh

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The "heh" isn't part of it!

[lilmissmagic71.livejournal.com]

Gonna miss you all...

*hugs bax and kizzy tight*

and hugs to every one of you... I was really pulling for theno...

*sigh*

a great bunch... and glad to have you on the jury!

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

Hey there! Thanks for the hugs. Hugs from a long time LJ friend are some of the best!

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

now that i'm thinking about it, what was the thing at the end, where we all picked a contestant and the one who got the most votes got a power to bring people back or hold onto a bunch of votes?

[baxaphobia.livejournal.com]

I was the one who was brought back into the game. I don't remember how it worked though. Kelly (tulip_in_yellow at the time) brought me back in.
