Results - Week 3

Apparently, LJ is at it again. I assume that they are "fixing something" and things will be "improved". I know that I had to do some fancy refreshing to get everything closed on time. I also know, from the person who matters the most in the world, that people trying to cast votes in the last few hours have been having difficulties doing that.

Hopefully, most of the people who wanted to vote either did it earlier, or were able to keep trying until they were able to do it.

"Interesting" circumstances though always make for unexpected results, and I think this week continues to qualify for that title.

It's another mix of old friends, and new faces that, when we met in Week 1, I was really hoping to see for a lot longer than this.

Unfortunately though, we are at the part of the week where we need to say goodbye.

But before we do that, let's handle the "good" news.

As you may have noticed - Tribe: Redemption ended with another tie!! Which means the three of them will be joined by two others, fresh off a tie of their own: [livejournal.com profile] morning_stand and[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]

That should make life interesting next week.

In the "not so good" column though, is a series of other votes, some quite close, that did not turn out as well.

This week we are saying goodbye to

Thank you for coming out this season - and I really hope that we will continue to see you in the Home Game, and around the Green Room. After all, this is Idol, and you can never be too sure if there is going to be another twist that might give you another shot at it.

You're welcome! I hope you get a chance to compete again. :)

Goodbye, folks. Hope you stick around. Surprised by a couple of names, but this is Idol. You never know what is going to happen.

Oh, I liked and voted for some of the people who are going this time. Via con Dios, compadres!

[identity profile] sarcasmoqueen.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry to see you go, folks.

Happy to still be here!

And I *thought* there was something wrong with LJ, I had no updates for HOURS...

Can't wait to see the next topic!

[identity profile] similiesslip.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm wondering about the next topic myself. Not sure we can go lower than poo, LOL.

[identity profile] rt-sparrow.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Gah! I'm still fighting with LJ.

So I have a question about the redemption team. Next week will 1 person leave that team or two (since its members contain the ties from two unresolved eliminations)?

Inquiring minds...

[identity profile] similiesslip.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's a really good question..

[identity profile] sra33.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
So there's no elimination in the tie-breaker tribe?

Iiiiinnnnterestinggg......

[identity profile] bonnie-rocks.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad I'm still here, but sad that these fine people have been eliminated. :(

[livejournal.com profile] chris_walsh is the reason I even know of Idol's existence.

LOL! I think you've been hanging around me too much! ;)

[identity profile] notodette.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
LJ wouldn't let me vote in the tribe redemption. I'm glad, since it lets everyone try again. How crazy that it was a dead tie!

[identity profile] noodledays.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
it stayed pretty neck and neck the whole time from what I saw - talk about a nail biter. :o

[identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, that's a surprising mix of names! Sorry to see y'all go, and congrats to the Redemption tribe!

[identity profile] xreesex.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm not the only one who had the bright idea to vote for both people in the tie-breaker tribe who didn't take a bye, hoping for this exact result!

Sad to see anyone go =/

[identity profile] vaudy.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
I voted for them both because I liked both of their entries! I couldn't pick one over the other.

[identity profile] malruniel11.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
I made myself pick one over the other, but I'm glad to see that someone counteracted my vote! I really wanted both to hang around until it was a real vote among a tribe and not just between two people who didn't use a bye.

[identity profile] pixiebelle.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
You're not the only one :)

[identity profile] jem0000000.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
You can't have been; from the number of votes and the numbers of voters, over twenty people voted for both entries.

[identity profile] soprano1790.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I think I submitted my votes at exactly 8:00 central. Wow! I felt bad because some of your entries I just couldn't load.

Sorry to everyone who is leaving. Especially to [livejournal.com profile] littlebit1988 who is on my flist.

[identity profile] sra33.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
::HUGS:: to littlebit, teenagewitch, and sideofsilence!!!! I really loved your entries this week. ♥

Thank you! <3

*hugs to everyone leaving us tonight*

Also. For the topic, is 'narcissism' misspelled or is it supposed to be like that?

[identity profile] createdestiny.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry to see [livejournal.com profile] _magister_ludi go....he/she had one of the best week one entries.....

[identity profile] malruniel11.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
This!

[identity profile] sideofsilence.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm disappointed but really not surprised. So many things this week! Not the least of which that I really didn't like my own entry and that... is probably not a good sign.

Good luck to those that remain and I really look forward to continuing to read and vote!

[identity profile] malruniel11.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry to see most everyone go, but I hope you guys stick around! Especially saddened by angelic_mystic, whose entry was on my favorites and recommended list this week, and _magister_ludi, who had been doing so well with the entries.

[identity profile] createdestiny.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Are you going to "play the Home Game" and keep writing on the weekly topics?

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/-magister-ludi/ 2011-11-12 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi, not sure yet - it could be good fun and good writing discipline but then again, what's the point? I wonder if I would lose momentum after a week or two with nothing at stake. It would be for interest only, I'm not hoping that Home Gamers might get a chance to get put back into the main competition or anything.

[identity profile] createdestiny.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, shoot. I hope you find the inspiration to keep writing.....

[identity profile] pixiebelle.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
I am surprised by most of those names, I really am. I am sorry to see all of you go, and really hope to see you around. Gary isn't kidding about chances to get back into the game... and usually the best bet for that is to stick around and home game it. When/if the time comes and people can bring others back in, it helps to have people who are familiar with you.

So sorry to see all of ya'll go though and from a personal standpoint, would love to read more of your stuff and get to know you more.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/-magister-ludi/ 2011-11-11 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well thanks to everyone who voted for me and sad to be going so soon. It's been a fun and interesting experience and I've read some really awesome pieces by writers who make me catch my breath with their talent. I have a question about the Home Game - I understand that we write a piece on the week's topic, but is there a deadline and where to we link it? I would suppose we'd link to the Green Room, whichever day we finish our piece? And also is it just an "if and when" thing when we feel like it? Or maybe there are no rules? Is anyone else Home Gaming it?

[identity profile] jem0000000.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
You link to it in the Green Room, and I think you're supposed to do it by the topic deadline, although I don't know for sure.

There have been a couple Home Game entries linked in the Green Room already. :)

[identity profile] jem0000000.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Cool! ^_^

[identity profile] jem0000000.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
I hope the people going will consider Home Gaming it?

Ah, LJ. Frank the goat nibbles on you too much.

[identity profile] jacq22.livejournal.com 2011-11-11 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
What still here? sorry to see some I had voted for go!
