therealljidolSince Season 2, we have had a ritual at LJ Idol to celebrate one individual, chosen by their peers as "The Spirit of LJ Idol".
This person is given a banner, an icon, a choice of special powers... and of course the knowledge that their peers picked them.
This season, I opened the vote up to the members of the Jury as well. It was the first time it's ever happened, and I wondered how it would impact the results.
It did not.
I calculated, for my own curiosity, the results both ways, and the same person was atop both polls. . .
Pretty much every season I have someone in mind, that with an idea of who is voting, that I think is going to be selected.
I'm usually wrong.
This season - I was wrong again. :) The voters surprised me - but with a field like this, it was going to be in a good way! How could it not be???
There were solid arguments to be made for every single contestant.
They definitely surprised me by the margins. Voting for Spirit, traditionally, comes down to the wire. This time - it wasn't close. There was one figure that stood out in the voting on nearly every ballot.
It is the first veteran to win *and* the first male to take the honor. . .
The Spirit of LJ Idol for Season 7 is

Date: 2011-06-17 01:43 am (UTC)The Verdict
Date: 2011-06-17 01:49 am (UTC)Also, people have inquired about what the special power options were, and which one was selected:
His options were:
- Two immunity tokens. Good until the Top 5. You can use them for yourself, or give them away, before the poll closes
- Back into the Game. You can bring one person back into the mix. Up until the Top 5.
- Topsy Turvy. Good until the Top 5. What is the highest becomes and lowest...
He chose to take the 2 immunity tokens.

Date: 2011-06-17 02:13 am (UTC)I was catching up on the GR earlier and saw that there was... well... something confusing happening that I didn't comprehend... and questions about whether the Spirit Award would be given out. I'm glad that it still happened and that it went to someone so awesome.
