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


We have made it past the Top 75 and are well on our way to the Top 50.

When you count the folks who signed up for Second Chance and everyone who has fallen along the way, that's 261 people. Getting to this point hasn't been easy. Getting further isn't going to be any easier either.

A contestant did not make it to the starting gate this time. Which is always unfortunate. Considering how far she made it, it almost makes it worse to miss the deadline at this point. [livejournal.com profile] liret you are going to be missed.

Purple Kelly also apparently left this week via the Green Room.

On the subject of this vote though, it is the first week of THE MERGED TRIBE.

Congratulations. You have made it!

It is also the week when we are losing the bottom 5. Yeah, I said 5.

It's not as many as we've lost the last couple of weeks of course. Then again, there aren't as many people as there were. So it evens itself out. :)

Read the entries. Comment, because it's the thing to do. All the cool kids are doing it.
Of course vote for your favorite entries - and tell people about them. Not just yours, but if you find something you love, let other people know that they should be reading it too. Not just "vote for my buddy", get them to read! Because otherwise they are losing out on whatever it was that made you like it in the first place - and cheating them out of that experience is a shame, isn't it?

The poll will be closing Saturday March 26th at 3pm EDT.
Good luck to everyone!

Crap, this list is looking really small.

I had the same idea ... it looks like so much less than ~70 names.

Hope everything is okay with [livejournal.com profile] liret!

Yikes, 5? That's going to be rough. Also, I really hate these poll closings I'll be asleep for.

At least Gary must consider me one of the cool kids because I've been commenting? :D

Hey, I am commenting even though I SHOULD be working on work stuff. I just pray every day that my boss's wife has the baby and that'll give me more time to work on work stuff at work and more time for Idol at home since he's taking some time off.

i got an email today from notre dame, one of my three remaining grad school options. I've been rejected by seven so far. i can't even bring myself to check this one. i'm just not in the mood for another rejection yet.

that being said, this competition has been the only thing keeping me writing through all the rejections. i wanted to say thank you to everyone for reading and posting such nice comments. it really means a lot to me.

Ooh, crossing my fingers for you! It's never fun to be rejected - hopefully it just means there's a different opportunity awaiting you to the one you expected, right?!

Man, I hope I'm able to read everything. I am swamped at the moment with assignments galore (and it's only the 4th week of the semester, whut), so I will have to put aside some time on Sat. for Idol *fingers crossed that happens*

I will be doing my reading (and then voting, of course) probably all in one fell swoop Friday night and Saturday morning -- the week is just not going to allow me to get to it any sooner, I fear.

I will try to comment on as much as I can, though! :)

At least Grace gets jettisoned properly!

I knew I could count on Idol folks to vote her out at the right time.

Voting! DONE AND DONE. Ugh. Life has left me entirely in the dust this week so I haven't left many comments at all, which I apologize for profusely. I do want to say here that you guys are amazing and brave and frank and honest and creative and I'm so incredibly proud to be a part of you.

Thank you for sharing your entries with me. ♥

Dammit! The poll ate my first round of votes with a "form submission error". By the time I re-reviewed the entries and re-voted, the submit failed with "poll is closed". Frowny face inbound: :(

Why did the poll close at 2:56 EST?
