Voting - Week 20

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from me:

(image: an unfolded note. text: "I like you. Do you like me? Will you be my Valentine? Yes! No. Maybe.)


As we set off into Valentines Day weekend, there's a lingering question: "Who do you love?"

Or more to the point - which entries this week have made you laugh and cry, growing closer together as you stood together in the surf clasping hands, neither one of you wanting to let go?

Who will no longer be whispering sweet Idol entries into your ear after this week?

There will be 5 of them going home this week, and once again, it's not going to be easy. But love has a way of winning out in the end.

You have until Monday Feb 16th at 7pm EST to savor those delicious entry bonbons and smell the roses of their poetry and prose and ultimately, to make your decision.

Good luck to everyone!

I think I liked the layoff speech better!

ETA: The poll looks so SMALL.

Inquiring minds want to know: Is that your handwriting?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Nope.

If I had written it *no one* would be able to read it!!!*g*

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

That picture is so freaking cute.

Good luck everyone!

HA HA HA

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

That's priceless!

I am heading out to dinner... reading/voting will commence upon my return.

[superhappytime.livejournal.com]

so is the jury voting on their own and letting you know by Monday?

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Those lambs are so precious. Have I told you that lately?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

They have until tomorrow at noon. (enough time to read but not enough that they will have even 24 hours of poll data to go by)

I'll announce it once I finish counting.*g*

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

ok well i read the first half of the entries as they were posted, but then i slacked off, guess it's time to get to reading again.

But i am going to watch Dollhouse first!

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Is that a good show? The previews all look amazing. I want to watch it on their website but I have no idea if it is good.

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

lol - great idea with the picture, Gary!

Good luck everyone! : )

So how does the jury thing go? They vote individually for immunity or they all vote to give one person immunity? I wasn't around last season, so the jury kind of new to me. :)

She's right though...that poll just looks smaller and smaller.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

They give it to one person as a group.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I love found items! I fact, you should look at my entry for today, if you like them, too: http://alycewilson.livejournal.com/113750.html

HEY EVERYBODY!!

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

Gary said that if he got all 28 of us to say yes, he would write his thoughts on each contestant. The great thing about this one is that he's 100% honest and doesn't pull any punches. It was one of my favorite parts of Season 3.

What say we have a vote?


Do you want Gary to tell us what he really thinks?

Re: HEY EVERYBODY!!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I think it might work better if people email me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com
That way no one feels pressured to vote one way or the other.

Also, let me know *when* you want me to post them.

This weekend? Next week sometime? Just do it as people are eliminated?

:looks up from her reading:

:waves:

:goes back to reading:

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

Hey Kizzy. :)

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

Read and voted. Lots of excellent stuff this week.

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

I'm determined not to look at the voting as much this week. It's stressful still though.

Is it too late to post a home game (http://jack-batelin.livejournal.com/1843.html?mode=reply) entry?

My Apologies to Emo-Snal

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Yesterday there was a post by emo_snal which discussed the "poll embedding potential" as well as some other things, which mentioned my name directly.

I took his post a little too serious, reading perhaps far more into it than he had originally intended to say about me. Rather than back away, I pushed the issue, further bringing the potential for drama into my own journal in my plea for votes last night. I turned around and implied far more about his motives than was necessary.

I stepped over the line.

I want to apologize to emo_snal, to Gary, to my fellow contestants, and the fans of the game.

It was never my intent to further the drama potential. This season has been so drama free that I didn't really see it until I walked away.

I would like Gary to freeze further comments on this in the interests of letting it all calm down, although I understand that might not be possible. To that end, please be respectful of all parties involved if responding in public.

Anyone wishing to e-mail me to discuss this, or to let loose with your feelings, feel free.

Thank you.

I think it's very magnanimous of you to apologize, because I don't think you have anything to apologize for.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but who is "winterberries?" I know I had some wine with dinner, but I'm confused.

*everyone's* totals are so big. It amazes me to think that I once needed half what I have to be safe, and now I'm probably going home.

[lilmissmagic71.livejournal.com]

The numbers ARE a little weird.... but I figure no matter what happens at this point, I'm going home.

*sigh*

Its been sweet, though.
