Results - Week 35

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

They don't get much closer than that!!

Down to the wire and a handful of votes between in and out, and the second elimination being decided by *1* vote! Was it yours?

Since day 1 I've been saying that eventually everyone but 1 person is going to be eliminated. That feels more real every elimination.

Today we are saying goodbye to two extremely talented writers - who made it to 4th and 5th out of 241 contestants!!!

5th place - theafaye (who may be coming in first really really soon in her personal race! :D)
4th place - fourzoas

Thank you to both of you.

Hopefully we will continue to see you around for the remainder of the season to see how this shakes out (and back here next time???)

You two wrote my favorite entries this week, and I'm more than a little sorry to see you go. :(

I'm consoling myself with the hope that you'll play next season (if there is one!), and with turtle brownies for dinner. If you were here, I'd share.

Wow. It's always so sad to see people who have become friends get eliminated.

Thea is someone I have just started to get to know and very glad I have. She's a wonderful person and a wonderful writer. I really liked her troll piece this week too!

fourzoas is also very talented and I am sad to see you go. I have enjoyed reading your posts and seeing you grow as a writer!

But both of you have come so far and you truly deserved to! Yikes, it really is coming close to the end :(

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

So very, very close. I'll miss those two very talented writers who brought so much to the game.

Damn. I say that a lot, but, damn. This gets harder each time.

*huggles both of you* Great job, you made it REALLY far! :)

I CALL SHENANIGANS!!!!

I've waited WEEKS to be able to say that!

Now wouldn't it make great Idol legend if I could say that my waters broke when I read the news??! Alas, I'm still pregnant, so there goes that idea.

I shall do an official goodbye post on my LJ which will be f-locked, so I did just want to say that if anyone has wanted to friend me but thought I was too scary to ask, feel free to add because if you can't make new friends at the end of your Idol run, when can you?

To be honest, I'm more sad to see fourzoas beside me than I am at my own elimination. I genuinely thought she produced the best entries out of the people who aren't me and she would have been my pick to go through if I could only choose one person. And I'm a little bit sad that you will all miss my plan for next week, which was to build on the genius strategy of drafting in a home gamer and work with onda_bianca, drjeff, joeymichaels, zia_narratora and rm to create one big glorious intersection mash up! So instead I'm going to throw all my support behind Talon for the win - I've championed him in the past when he's been close to the wire so it's no secret he's been a favourite of mine for quite some time. It would be great to see a man finally take the title and he's most certainly deserving.

It's genuinely been an absolute blast. Thanks to everyone who read, regardless of whether they voted or not and I'm glad to be able to say that at least I went out earning that much coveted LOL. Circumstances permitting, I'll definitely be back next time round and you can all play spot the Thea because I have plans for a fair few IDs to weave words around different themes.

Yes! I want to see this.

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

My only issue is going to be which one to go with. Because now I have quite a few ideas and there's no way I'll be able to do ALL of them. Guess I'll just have to save some for season 8 :oP

[connie]

Aw, there goes the last chance for a veteran to win this season!

My boyfriend says of course fourzoas got fourth -- should have renamed to onezoa maybe! :D

But excellent runs, both of you! Congratulations!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Spoiler alert anyone???

oneonthefence was obviously destined to win by virtue of her name! :P

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

Aww, well, if I would have known THAT, I would have just told my body not to get sick! Geez! ;)

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

But you know who else hung out on a fence? Er, a wall? Humpty Dumpty.

You shoulda seen it coming!!!

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

I can only hope that my great fall is not nearly dramatic as Humpty Dumpty's. Then again, if someone makes a nursery rhyme out of the breaking down of my body, and how it cannot be mended or fixed, I will be very impressed :)

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Would it make you laugh? Because I could take a stab at it. :D

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

It would totally make me crack up (yes, pun intended). Stab away ;)

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

supremegoddess1 might have something to say about that ;)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

She would have to wait, since it's at the end of her name. People with it at the front of their name would go first!! ;)

[supremegoddess1.livejournal.com]

As the supreme goddess, I do not need piddly contests to inform me of my omnipotence.

[hug-machine.livejournal.com]

XD

Hokay, now this looks like the right thread. theafay & fourzoas you guys totally deserved to be up there.

I haven't been around much lately, but I am glad to have gotten to know both of you a little. ♥

And the rest of you, I got nothing but AWE!

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Hope you mean they totally earned their spots in the top five... and not that they "totally deserved to be" the ones to go? :D

[hug-machine.livejournal.com]

D'oh. >>

I am making blunders left and right! First I post in the topic thread, now this?

This is what I get for studying for the GRE all day...mah brainz get dried up!

*chants weakly*

home game home game

*collapses*

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

You are totally kidding me, right?? I'm having a baby. That's my plan for the weekend and I'm sticking to it (as long as the little lamb agrees with me!)

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

Let him write it.

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

I should really. It's about time he did some work about the place.

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

HOME GAME. We will make you one of us! (ONE OF US! ONE OF US!)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

And it's the last week this season you can say that! Well, presumably Gary isn't going to eliminate just one person...

[fourzoas.livejournal.com]

*waves hello from poolside*

We're winding up our FL vacation, so I won't get to make a proper goodbye till I'm home and at a keyboard larger than the palm of my hand, but I wanted to say thanks to everyone for the kind words ant thanks to Gary for a great ride; I started this to get myself writing again, and I never dreamed I would get this far or face so many challenges and overcome them! My best to theafaye on her upcoming adventure and to the three (awesome) remaining competitors.

And yes, joeymichaels, I'm planning to do at least one home game entry when I get home!
