results and the new sudden death challenge "winner"

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Slim margins is the theme of this week's results. There were some *really* close races. I think we are going to be seeing more and more weeks like this as so many people are stepping up their game.

In the regular, public voting - the two people leaving us are lordrexfear and green_goblin70, two people that I had hoped would manage to pull it out and last a little longer. Alas that was not to happen.

In the Death Match it came down to ONE VOTE - a bunch of people voting for both, and 6 of the contestants not casting votes at all. Which turned out to matter this week.

A change in any one of these elements and the results might be different. But that was not the case, and so this week we are also saying goodbye to techempage who wrote what was probably his best entry of the competition this week, or one of them, but fell by one vote.

The Sudden Death Challenge Winner for this coming week is again the person who came closest to being eliminated, in this case it is oceansedge.

evansmj has been challenged!!!

Heh, actually both you and jenelycam were pretty random selections... its tough this 'Death Match' stuff... there's no one I want to take out of the game.

I look forward to reading your entry, I think I got some ideas about mine.

I'm just so sorry one of us has to leave ...

Yeah, it is tough... do you go for one of the consistent leaders, hoping a great entry will take them out? Or do you go for someone who is struggling to get votes, thinking it'll be easier?

In the death match though, most people will vote for one of us, whereas they might not have voted for either of us in the main pool. (Then again, they might have voted for both, in which case we'll lose a vote we'd otherwise have gotten.)

All very strategic... but really, I'm just going to do the best job possible and let the chips fall where they may. If I'm kicked off, I'll still play the home game, since the goal was to inspire me to write about different subjects.
