therealljidol | Green Room - Week 24

If you tripped right now, you might accidentally fall into the Top 25.

Let's take a moment to consider that. Because I'm not entirely sure the full impact has hit everyone quite yet.

Counting Second Chance, we have had 261 contestants this season. Everyone left is within a breath of reaching the Top 25. That's pretty darn good.

Give yourself a moment to pat yourself on the back.

Now that your hands are preoccupied I can strike!!! Oh wait, sorry. . . kind of a bit of impulse there. ;)

What I mean, of course, is "job well done".

Of interest, to me, is that there do still seem to be divisions in the ranks among vets and newbies, or to be more accurate, people who became friends in previous seasons vs people who are playing for the first time. Maybe it's not "divisions" so much as they are "priorities". It makes sense, people who grow closer tend to admire each other's work and share similar tastes in what they like and don't like as much. From my perch, I've seen it before, but it hasn't felt quite like this.

Then again, this is also the highest number of veterans we've ever had left at this stage of the competition. So that is bound to shift that perception in new and interesting ways.

It's worth noting - because I mentioned it just the other day and someone said they had never heard this stat: Thus far, every single Idol season has been won by a newbie. No veteran has ever won. No man had ever won. No non-American has ever won! Will this be the season where one or more of those is broken? Only time, and the voters, will tell.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

As everyone knows, I won this season (and last season) months ago. Let's say we lived in some bizarre, hellish alternate universe with no me, who would deserve to be the top ten?

Well, I would, of course, still win it, even in a universe where I didn't exist, so let's just list the second through tenth runners up.

2.

hug_machine didn't compete this season, but she will always come in second because she made this</>. Also, she wears a cat hat that says "Cat."

3. tigrkittn has two different cat related words in her name and spells them in LOLCat Pidgin. Her icon is an angry kitty.

4. walkertxkitty has my name in her name. She confuses me sometimes by having something that looks like a dog in her icon, but she posts pictures of kitties in her journal.

5. wyliekat might have spelled "cat" incorrectly, but I am all about teh phonics. Also, she spelled "Wile E." wrong. None the less, a cat that possesses the mental acumen of Wile E. Coyote is to be admired.

6. med_kitty is a cat that is also involved in the medical profession. Cat medicine largely involves licking, mostly of the ears and backside. We largely prefer our own medicine to human vet medicine. I am an amateur nurse, by the way.

7. stormkitty is a cat who is not afraid of storms. I, myself, hide under the bed during the storms and am a little miffed that she would rub in my face her fearlessness in the face of storms. This is why I didn't rank her higher. Not because of alphabetical order or anything.

8. oldscratchx reminds me of all the scratches I've left everywhere - on the bed, on the couch and on the fat man. Some of them are over a decade old. Good times, good times.

9. lynxypoo is apparently some kind of cat, or so the Fat Man assures me. I have clicked on a lynx or two in my time - especially so I could go to websites that feature pictures of cats in heat - but I have never met a lynx.

10. myrna_bird wasn't a cat, but I couldn't stop looking at her name and chattering. If it wasn't for this damned screen window...

Honorary Mention: creature_girl08 is some sort of creature, so the odds are good she's actually a cat. But she might be a dog, or maybe even an elephant, and I'm not fans of either of those. If there was some confirmation on her relative feline-ness, I would have an easier time ranking her.

Honorary Mention #2: supremegoddess1's name may refer to the Egyptian cat goddess, Bast. If that is what her name refers to, then she deserves a place on the Top ten list. Maybe I'll add some extra numbers between 1 and 10, like "claw" and 'whisker," so I could fit a few more people in my top ten. I can do that in my universe.

Pixies and Snakes > Cats.

Crimeny, its somebody from that alternate universe!

Shhhh, you're not supposed to tell anyone!
