A few words from [livejournal.com profile] clauderainsrm:

When one door closes, another opens. Or maybe it's a window. Sometimes it's specifically God opening them. Other times it's not so clear other than it happens.

This time - it's me. I opened the window, or maybe a vent through the chimney for people to slide down and leave presents under the tree.

Presents *for you*, the reader.

They even made nice personalized gift tags.

The best way to say "thank you" to them is to read what they are offering, and vote for your favorites - and of course make sure you comment to them! Comments are the handwritten "thank you" notes of the LJ world.

This is Second Chance Idol, another chance to get back where they "should" be - into the main competition.

Their topic this week was "Take Heart", and from what I've read, they certainly have more than enough heart to spare!

The two entries with the MOST votes will give the contestant the opportunity to re-enter the main competition. (People *do* have the option of a "pass", opting to stay on Second Chance Idol, for whatever reason. If that happens, then it goes to the next highest, and extra)

The two entries with the LOWEST vote totals = those contestants are eliminated from Second Chance Idol.

The poll closes Saturday Jan 15th at 1 PM EST. So if you haven't had the opportunity to meet some of these folks yet, or missed them the first time around, you have a second chance to correct that!

Good luck to you all!

Asking because I have friends who signed up for SCI... since the deadline is an hour before the main topic closes, are the second chancers who move up expected to write for week 9, or will they be included in week 10 instead?

Yeah, got a bit cynical.

I seem to be better off now though :)

Well, this week's conspiracy was meant to be against all players with Jimi Hendrix references in their names, so that surprised me too! ;-)

Good to see how many joined the second chance. Must start reading and figuring out my own entry as well. Hummm! Wishing the best for the second chancers.

I asked this in the GR, but it was pretty late in the day so I doubt many folks saw it... Anyone have a spreadsheet set up for Second Chance that I could steal?

I just copied the poll list, go into the A1 cell of a spread sheet and ctrl v.
I then have a list of all the participants in the order of the poll and use the cells after each name for remarks, and my yes/no. Quick and dirty.

Used to be the easiest way when the tribes would change so much last weeks order wouldn't be right anymore, and I'd be pissed if I'd taken the time to pretty it all up and then I couldn't use it.

Now I'm not totally sure. What would you expect in a spread sheet that this doesn't give you?
How does everyone else do this?

Well, now I feel silly, hahah. The last time I used excel for something that wasn't a file someone sent me was like 1998, so to be honest, it didn't occur to me to make it that simple.

Other "features" I'd be looking for would be having the background of the lines alternating in color for ease of reading, though I can probably google how to do that.

Thank you! Spreadsheets usually make me dizzy, but I think I'm going to try it here and see how it goes :)

I know what you mean, I used to hate them.

You're welcome! I'm glad someone uses it.

Wow that's a lot of reading to do! I read a few entries and have to say, there is some awesome stuff out there!

I just want to wish good luck to everyone in second chance idol. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to read all entries, but good luck to all. It's kind of a fun idea. I just can't keep up with all the reading.

I'm completely new to this thing. I did read the FAQ but just wanted to double check that people not involved in this could vote as well. Thanks

Oh well, I told her over and over when it was due. She waited until the last day and her mother didn't get her home until she only had 15 minutes to write for it.

Damn I need to get to reading... but I've been handling a job search, living life and also playing video games. So yeah.

So... just so I'm clear. There's no eliminations in SCI.. just the top vote-getter gets to move into the real game? That's the dealio?
