Results - Week 24

As we get closer to the end, the cuts are just going to end up being that much more difficult. This was certainly no exception.

Week 24 was not a good one for the vets. More to the point, it was pretty brutal to Second Chancers - and even more distinctly, it appears the LJ Sisterhood has claimed more of the remaining males in the competition!!

Alll four of the contestants leaving us this week have legendary status within the Halls of Idol. These are truly icons leaving us this week, people who have brought so much to previous seasons, and this one as well.

They will be missed. Hopefully not from being around these parts though!

I knew there'd be shock departures this week but HOLY CRAP.

Oh man :(

I've enjoyed entries from all four of you, so I hope that you'll Home Game it if you can.

*stompy feet, pouty face*
Really?
That list of names could just as easily have been the final four.

Also, does it seem like perhaps talking about vets vs. newbies and who came from second chance and boys vs. girls was oddly predictive? Meta is dangerous, people.

What an unpredictable outcome. I am amazed.

[identity profile] nyxocity.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I just... wow. I rec'd most of these names for this week. I feel like with the dwindling numbers, I've been getting to know everyone better, and it makes even sadder to see you all go. :(

Ouch.

Aw,man.Seriously?:(

Ah, it's over. Not quite as far this time, but then, the odds weren't good in the other direction, were they? At least this time, there weren't any technical issues ;)

Now that I'm out, maybe I'll stretch my meta wings and do some con-crit/recommendation entries (if anyone's interested). You might also see some comments from me in your old entries -- there's a small backlog of comments that I've wanted to make but haven't posted, because a friend of mine had a small challenge in place on the game, the social nature of it, and getting to a certain place. No further details, except that I owe her dinner.

To all of you - it's been an extraordinary pleasure, a wonderful chance to write with such a diverse, fascinating, and talented group of writers. I know that I've been enriched by this experience, and I'm a better writer for reading (and collaborating with) you amazing people.

So thank you, for that. And Gary, kithan, and kittenboo, thank -you- as well for making this all possible.

Write on, write well, and may the best writer win.

Even after watching the polls and seeing this it still hurts. Oy!

And closer we get.

Ouch

I'm really surprised and seriously bummed to see the names on that list.

[identity profile] theafaye.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
TALON??? WTF?!

NOT the result I was expecting when I went to bed last night. They are ALL, indeed, iconic legends in Idol so to lose four names like that in one fell swoop?

Stunned hardly begins to express it.

No! What?! *stomps feet* Seriously, I love all of these folks...but I am going to cry at night over [livejournal.com profile] talonkarrde88's elimination.

[identity profile] imafarmgirl.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. I'm sorry to see everyone go and a little surprised too.
