Week 23 - Round Two

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

What about those 13 people at the bottom of those polls?

You are asking it. I know you are.

I said that I wasn't eliminating them outright after all. Obviously, something else is happening.

Who are those contestants in question?

applespicy
beeker121
cheshire23
comedychick
ecosopher
ellakite
locknkey
ravenshrinkery
supremegoddess1
tamaraland
theafaye
yachiru
wyliekat

For the sake of easy explanation, let's just call "Round Two" a tie-breaker for all the people who were at the bottom of their respective polls. Because of the twist, they ended up at the bottom of their group, in terms of votes, but now they have a second chance to correct that.

Those 13 will take one of the two topics that they did not write on originally http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/454553.html and link that entry back here by, Monday May 2nd at 7pm EDT.

From those entries there will be eliminations.

Have fun!

I knew I'd be in round two by the second day of voting, so I already had a couple of ideas. Thankfully, this one worked with the prompts. I just hope it's enough to keep me in the game!

With all that said, I hope you all enjoy my little zombie tale (http://applespicy.livejournal.com/940276.html).

I really should be asleep right now, but I happened to get feedback for this at the same time I woke up to post about a dream I just had about my Mum. *wanders off back to bed*

Don't pass the ammunition. (http://supremegoddess1.livejournal.com/969018.html)

Wow! This is going to be intense.

Also... I can't believe I'm not on that list. One vote difference! This was a very close round!

[serpentpixie.livejournal.com]

... that's 12? Or can't I count?

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

My name somehow got left off that list. I would accept a reprieve from elimination though... :)

[vaguelyclear.livejournal.com]

Ha, I had all sorts of crazy ideas about what round two might be. Glad to see it's just a tie-breaker, but given the number of people in it, I'm worried how many will be eliminated :\

Good luck everyone!!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

There's lots of names up there I'd rather not see in a runoff, including my parter and friend, comedychick. good luck everyone.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

THANK GOD! My partners would've had less time to write than me. I'm glad I'm here rather than them!

*hugs*

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

I'm curious, Gary - had one of the polls been a tie, would you have put both people into round two? What about all three? :P Because some were mighty close!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I know you don't expect an answer - so here is one anyway! :)
Yes. They would have been. :)

[locknkey.livejournal.com]

Watching the poll - not unexpected, although it was close and truth, better me than my partners. :)

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

*HUGS*

[alephz.livejournal.com]

Best of luck, you all!

[sra33.livejournal.com]

Well, I saw this bit coming. I am sad to see all the names up there, but it was SO HARD to not vote for every one of them this week. :'(

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

Well, the end of this voting round was going to be ugly, no matter what. A lot of names up there that I wish weren't. Best of luck to you all!

I'm really wondering how many people we're going to lose from this.

[serpentpixie.livejournal.com]

Also, I don't want anyone to be eliminated :( Why can't everybody win?

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

The downside of winning is the inability to compete in future seasons of Idol (unless you do it under an alt account, with Gary's knowledge, of course).

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

Given that May Day is one of the most sacred days in the calendar for a number of reasons, I have a very busy day tomorrow.

There is every possibility I may well be out because I don't know that I'll be able to post. It's half past midnight now and I'm off to bed soon. I don't really like to whinge much, but right now, I feel like whinging given that American holidays are always catered for but this highly important British one is ignored.

Yes. I am whinging. My cat died today too. I feel like indulging myself.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I'm very sorry to hear about your cat, I know how it feels to lose fur-babies. *hugs*

[lilycobalt.livejournal.com]

There are so many awesome people on that list. Good luck to everyone in round two!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Note the change in date.

I didn't factor in "holiday". I use quotes because I do not receive presents. If you wish me to recognize this in the future, someone better start giving me presents!! ;)

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

What would you like? Because I am currently tearing up at your generosity (and I am serious and not sarcastic here!) and will quite happily send you something as a thank you. Which should most definitely not be construed as a bribe. Because it's not. No, really.

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

Good luck contestants!

I'm still surprised I'm not writing this round, but I'm rooting for so many of you!

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

This is actually not nearly as twisty a twist as I was expecting, but I'm sorry to see my most recent partner, supremegoddess1 there instead of me. I'm also sorry to see my less recent, but still awesome, partner comedychick there. And my partner from last season, theafaye. I blame myself.

Wishing them (and everyone) the best of luck in the tie breaker.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

You blame yourself for seeing so many of your former partners in this tie-breaker? You're a big silly billy. :P

This was one of the possible round two thoughts I had. It was the least twisty of everything I considered. XD

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Wow this is getting cruel and twisted but at least they aren't getting eliminated.

[wyliekat.livejournal.com]

Just a question - do the people in the tie-breaker round also right to the "bats in the belfry prompt", or is it an either/or?

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I think they have to do the bats topic only if they get through the tie-breaker. But they MUST do the tie breaker at this point.
