Results - Week 16

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

With the Top 75 close enough to touch, things were bound to get interesting given the remaining special powers out there that had not been used to this point. After all, that is when they expire!

So pull up a chair as I explain what has happened. You might need one.

cheshire23's "Back in the Game" token given to roina_arwen.

So welcome back Ro! That also means that Week 17 is the final week to use byes and all but one of the special powers. (I think everyone knows which one that is)

In Tribe 1 we are saying goodbye to a long time veteran and a relative of a beloved veteran and a second generation contestant who has more than made her own mark:
hammaboo
marjory

That's two of the three.
The third? Well, that's a little more complicated:

myrna_bird uses her "Immunity for Someone Else" token to save maizing_grace. Considering that she used her own "immunity token" to save another player not long ago, it seemed that gesture has come full circle to save her this time.

This creates a Tie-Breaker for the Final Spot between former Second Chancers copyright1983 and [Bad username or site: yako" @ livejournal.com]. More on that later.

In Tribe 2, it really does show that it can be any given week, as we are ending up saying goodbye to someone who was "Very Safe" in the Last Contestant Only Vote, and another contestant that wasn't too far away from that category herself:

dakotawitch
phoenixejc

For the third and final elimination, we have an unusual situation. You are sitting down right? Things go all topsy turv... oh, no not the special power!! Just the situation itself. It's kind of "odd".

Earlier in the week, seeing what she figured was the "writing on the wall", tigrkittn sent me instructions to make sure that I knew that she wanted to use her Personal Immunity if she was in danger. It turned out that she was.

So, since she has used her immunity, the person with the next lowest votes is the one going home. In this case - dizzy_writing.

Saying "Thank you" to all of the people leaving really doesn't go far enough. Over the course of the season (or seasons in some cases) they have all produced some really cool stuff. Hopefully everyone takes the time to let them know that.

But the week isn't over yet, because we have the TIE-BREAKER between copyright1983 and yako!

The Topic is Full House.

The deadline to link it back to the specially marked thread below is tomorrow, Friday March 11th at 10pm EST.

Have fun!

Boy, that's a whole lot of stuff in one poll!

thanks to cheshire23 for giving me the chance to get Back in the Game! I hope I do you proud! *Hugs*

Question to Gary: I had one Bye left when I was voted out - since the byes are good for one more week now, do I still have one left, or did it expire when my initial run ended?

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you for asking:)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

It never hurts to ask, LOL. Apparently, it expired when my initial run ended, oh well! :)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Nope. It went out with you.

That's kinda what I thought, since the 2nd Chance idolists didn't have any, and this is my second chance too. Thanks for the quick reply! :)

Welcome back! Hopefully you'll get to make your goal now :D

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm keeping my fingers crossed! (Although I may have to make my goal week 21 since I had a week off, LOL)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

You can just count that week off as using your final bye ;)
