Vote - Week 10

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

Hello there.

How are you? Well, I hope.

I just happened by and. . . what's that? Oh yes, the poll. I guess we had better get to the business of the day.

Before we do that, we have some said business to handle - the bye-outs for the week.

It's never easy, this time is rather personally brutal as it combines old friends and promising newbies, and combinations of that.

Goodbye to
agirlnamedluna, deviantnextdoor, hexkitten, idol_sileri, mezzominty and rabid1st

We should not be saying goodbye to any of these folks quite yet. Unfortunately, that is how life works out sometimes. :(

On a positive note, we still have immunities floating out there. The people who have them (check the list here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/516600.html) have until an hour before the poll deadline to get their selections to me.

Now for the poll. It's back to normal. Open to everyone, and the contestant with the fewest votes in each poll will be eliminated.

So make sure to get out there and support your favorite entries! Read! Comment and Vote!! It's the only way of guaranteeing that they will stick around to write your next round of favorites! :)

The poll closes Thursday, Jan 19th at 9pm EST

Good luck to everyone!

And So It Begins... (again)

Good luck everybody!!!

I hate seeing some of the names on the bye out list. Booo on that real life thing taking people down again. :-(

[xreesex.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty surprised by some of the names leaving us this week!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Those bye outs?!? OUCH! A few vets that I like a whole bunch, and some newbies I saw some great potential in. I hope you guys stick around, please?

Man... but at least Gary wasn't all counterintuitive on us and followed a contestant only round with another contestant only round... or worst yet, a gatekeeper.

[emploding.livejournal.com]

... gatekeeper?

*scared*

[sra33.livejournal.com]

lol with the counterintuitive XD

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I was totally expecting a gatekeeper round so... am pleased to NOT be holding my breath all week.

[rt-sparrow.livejournal.com]

Holy moley at the bye-outs!

Those are some shocker names.

[sra33.livejournal.com]

Yikes some good names there in the bye outs. Hope RL isn't too crappy on you! Good luck everyone!!! :D

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

I hate seeing people go even before we have the vote but I guess it is part of the game.

I have been reading everybody so I will surely miss their entries.

There is still maybe a chance to get back in though, right?

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Whoa, it seems so many people are having to bow out early this time! Boo.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

It does! I wonder if this is normal? I am shocked each and every week at the talent we lose before the poll even opens :(

[lilycobalt.livejournal.com]

That list of bye-outs makes me sad. D:

[vaudy.livejournal.com]

Me, too! I never can manage to read everybody, but it's gotten to a point in the last I'm starting more and more to recognize a lot of the names of people leaving.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Aaaah - not hexkitten and agirlnamedluna! *pouty face*

These polls seem so short now, but it's good to have a *real* poll that I can keep an eye on! Good luck, everyone!

[ceiphiedknight.livejournal.com]

Best of luck to everyone! So many people wrote about bullying and abuse of all kinds, it was a very heavy week.

[wolfden.livejournal.com]

Yes it was. Due to real life situations bullying and abuse are on the forefront of my mind anyways. I really liked Pixie117's entry because it was such a different and happier take on the topic.

[wolfden.livejournal.com]

So sad about the bye outs this week. I hope they'll stick around.

[vaguelyclear.livejournal.com]

It doesn't appear that anyone's mentioned it yet, but hosticle_fifer ended up writing an entry for this week: here (http://hosticle-fifer.livejournal.com/316223.html).

Sorry to see folks bying out. RL can be cruel :(

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

If people are changing their minds about taking a bye, they need to let me know ahead of time to avoid this situation.

[emploding.livejournal.com]

Looks to be a surprisingly low number of bye's taken this week? Maybe that means the topic was too easy ;)

[cosmolinguist]

I think a lot of people have only one left now and are worried about using it if they don't need to (or maybe that's just me!)

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

boo! I am sad about some of those bye outs - but life, she sure can kick you where it hurts!

[alexmegami]

Holy moly, are we down to 65 people already?

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

We aren't at 65 yet.... It's like 140-something I think?

We haven't passed the top 100 mark where byes disappear yet.

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

I was going to write an entry, but life took an unexpected turn this weekend and yesterday, my mind wasn't on it at all and I ended up falling asleep. I'm sad to bye out like this, but given the little time I could devote to Idol this time, I guess maybe it's for the better. Good luck everyone.

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

I'm gutted you've dropped. You're one of the last people I expected to see go. I know you've got a lot on right now - I hope everything works out for you :)

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

Shocked to see some of the bye outs this week, but that's part of this complex and amazing game! Interestingly, it seems like we have already lost a few people who had received bouncing immunities. I hope there isn't a bouncing immunity curse!

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

Wow some of my favorites byed out! How horrible. I'll miss all of you.

[liret.livejournal.com]

The poll keeps erasing all but one of my votes when I press enter! I wouldn't even have noticed it if I hadn't gone to add a vote, and now I'm wondering how often this happens.

[majesticarky.livejournal.com]

The same thing has been happening to me. When I go to edit the poll, it only shows my first vote and not the rest of them. Boo >_<.

[ilea.livejournal.com]

Diagenou is not real. That journal is a joint project between kitty and her girlfriend jessica aka dorie (who I used to know IRL) Diagenou was a character in jess' head that she used to write about which became "real" when she moved in with kitty. If it involves dee you can be sure it didn't happen.

[idol-sileri.livejournal.com]

Thanks to everyone who voted me through. Between an upper respiratory infection that won't go away and following the Concordia's demise, I just ran out of time. Here's hoping the next year goes better :)

[cheshire23.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope so. You wrote lots of awesome. :)
