Green Room - Week 34 - Day 1
Like Daniel Tosh insulting a heckler, another Week of LJ IDOL is here and isn’t going anywhere any time soon!
I actually have a lot to say about that – none of it coherent though, so I’ll wait a little longer and see if I still feel like saying it. ;)
What I DO feel like saying though is that the results went up last night: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/586484.html
With the “non-elimination”, there was some concern that people might misunderstand that and assume that a contestant was cheating or doing something they shouldn’t have been doing.
They were not.
I need to make that much clear, just so no one walks away with the wrong idea.
There was an account – and there is a good chance that it was a friend who signed up for Livejournal to show support – and no one thought “let’s give Gary a heads up on this one”. It voted. The votes affected the results, so I flagged it and officially made it a tie instead of getting rid of someone.
Because no one should be going for someone else’s mistake – and yes, now two people are on the block BUT it was a matter of a single vote. Had it been two votes, with only one of them in question, we wouldn’t be having the conversation. It’s a small price to be sure that everyone gets a fair shake.
I’d say that I think everyone here is on the up-and-up and seriously talented – but that would imply that I liked any of you and that I read a single word. I wouldn’t want to ruin my reputation like that! ;)
So instead I’ll post a link to the Work Room: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/586211.html
And the new topics: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/585760.html
And tell you to get off your lazy butts and get to work! ;)

It's my job.
If people didn't, deep down, know how seriously I take that sort of thing and try to keep as even of a playing field as possible... and (all kidding aside) the amount of affection and admiration that I have for everyone who steps on this field... I don't know why they would bother to show up. They have to expect that, and know that they are getting it.
