Week 4 - Results and Tie-Breaker

I don't think anyone will argue with me that this week was tough. Losing people at the end of it? That doesn't get any easier.

Especially when the people leaving are clearly talented. Some of them I've barely gotten to know, but saw a lot of promise in their work. Others I'm rather personally fond of them.

The one hope is that they will continue on with the Home Game and take advantage of the opportunity to try to get back into the thick of things when that door opens.

Until then, we have to say goodbye to

[livejournal.com profile] erica_crawford
[livejournal.com profile] sorryimsorry
[livejournal.com profile] estelle
[livejournal.com profile] a_cheese_fan

and
[livejournal.com profile] rejeneration


Obviously that doesn't cover everyone. We are missing an elimination from Tribe 5. That is because it ended with our first tie of the season between
[livejournal.com profile] brilligspoons
and
[livejournal.com profile] foolishfiddler

What happens now is a tie-breaker. They both have until Tomorrow, Wednesday Dec 1st at 10pm EST to submit an entry on the tie-breaker topic. (Linked to this thread)

The topic? Glad you asked. It's Take a Chance!

Good luck to both of you.

Also Gary? That sucked. A lot. Srsly. That was the worst week I've ever had here. Ugh.

Agreed!

I had worse weeks obviously (when I got eliminated) but this seemed more brutal than any in the past because it's week 4!

I am flattered to be doing so well. Truly, I am.

I was terrified watching some of my favorites come too close to going home so soon.

I found out last season that it bothered me more when [livejournal.com profile] java_fiend got eliminated than when I did. Same would be the case with a few of my most treasured friends. So it was scary in that regard. Very, very scary.

I didn't even check my poll in the last hour, I was too busy refreshing tribe 6!

I was refreshing tribe 7 a lot because I was close to the bottom, but when I finally opened up tribe 6 to see how things were going there, I was shocked to see how close it was and who was on the verge of being eliminated!

Which was why I shamelessly pimped another's entry yesterday. For the first time ever in any contest, hehe.

[identity profile] sra33.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! There's a reasons why I don't make it to the top 10 or 20 people! Too much stress, ugh. XD

*clings* I'll vote for you, you vote for me okay? XD

I'm going to try not to pimp anymore. I hated that I did it, then got a ton of votes (granted, I also got about 4 comments on my entry from LJI people who weren't on my flist) so now I'm not so sure whether it was my flist or my entry that helped me. BLAH! BLAH TO INFINITY!

[identity profile] stormkitty.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. I know I was sitting at the bottom and tied for the bottom a few times in my tribe (yes, I succumbed to refreshing). This is gonna be a rough season.

[identity profile] sra33.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah and sadly this doesn't encourage people to actually READ each other's entries. They just freak out, put up a post for their friends to arbitrarily vote for them, and people who should be in the game on merit alone get outs'd because their flist didn't vote for them as much. Makes me sick. Ugh.

/soapbox. Sorry that was a little whiny. It's early, and I'm cranky. >.>
