Results - Week 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Week 1 has come to an end, like the slumber of the dead near da Vinci’s house.

Fortunately, unlike those unwitting models, there is a second chance for those leaving the main poll. Literally, a “Second Chance”. They will be joining those who missed the deadline in Second Chance Idol, with their own special poll and topics - where they will getting the chance to fight their way back into the main competition!

Last mini-season, not only did that happen, but one of those people ended up in the finals! So never stop swinging until you are knocked out!

Those leaving us are:

dawnstar
dreamwriteremmy
eeyore_grrl
fred_fierce
i_love_freddie
oxymoron67

Which isn’t the 8 that were promised, due to a wrinkle that was thrown into motion when dreamwriteremmy decided to use her Immunity to save sarcasmoqueen!

Which means that she was safe from elimination, and the person with the next lowest votes would be eligible.

However, there were more people in that category than there were elimination spots left, so they have been spared. Or rather, “spared for the moment”. More on that next week. :)

The twists! They're already starting!

Wow! Those polls were brutal! I was watching anxiously to see if my partner, florencestoker, would be spared, and the bottom slots were literally shifting every few minutes or so.

Congrats to all who made it, and looking forward to reading the SCI entries from those who fell below the red line.

Right?! I was refreshing like a madwoman! Lol

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

So was I, haha! I spent the past half hour or so refreshing the page.

*hugs* to all of you, every entry this week was so well done. I hope you'll all play Second Chance Idol

Holy crap! Congrats to everyone who made it through this round and I too look forward to seeing what SCI brings!

[bewize.livejournal.com]

And so, it begins...

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

Congrats to everyone to made it this week. :) And I'm looking forward to SCI as well!

[kandigurl.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaaaat, eeyore_grrl already??? *pouts*

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Don't write her off yet. She could come back from SCI, like Gary said.

awwwwww thanks

[eeyore-grrl.livejournal.com]

I am not too surprised... Due to timing issues I didn't follow by the teamwork rules. I think my poem/entry was fairly sound. I am glad my partner didn't get demoted for being willing to work around me. Thank you thatssocory! You rock!

I am done moving, marrying, and honeymooning so I can focus more now!

The madness begins! I hope you all stick around in SCI for a while--I read great stuff this week from al of you!

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

Very surprised to see who was voted out this week! I remember brutal weeks in the regular competition, but with an accelerated mini-season I guess it's about ten times worse.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

That's part of the insanity fun of the mini-season.

[dreamsreflected.livejournal.com]

these weeks always seem to fly by.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

What is this "slumber of the dead" ? I googled the phrase and the only result was this very lj entry!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_rabidwombat_/]

hahaha!

[notodette.livejournal.com]

Glad sarcasmoqueen was saved. I really enjoyed her entry this week.

Great job to everyone!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_rabidwombat_/]

Yes! I kept starring every single name on my printout. Crikey!! This is going to get crazy in a few weeks.

And I am SO glad Casmo was saved. Are you kidding me?!

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

Hurray for Second Chances. Hurray for immunities, too. That was a really tight race!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Well, six is better than eight, but it's still tough to see folks go. Y'all did great, and I hope you stick around for SCI!

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

It just means it'll be twelve next week.

[witches.livejournal.com]

dawnstar? D8 NOOO

[cheshire23.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT? :( :( :(

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

Congratulations all! I certainly hope everyone plays Second Chance as well...very strong writers in that group. :)

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Um.

Today is Wednesday, right?

Because I am still reading entries. I thought the deadline was tomorrow!

This is like that nightmare when there's a test and you didn't study.

I did not vote. AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_rabidwombat_/]

Oh noooo!

[sarcasmoqueen.livejournal.com]

Wow, wow, wow. That's all I can say. Thanks so much to my intersection partner, dreamwriteremmy, for saving my butt! And thanks to everyone who read my entry and/or voted for me!

[michikatinski.livejournal.com]

But, but, but...

BAH.

At least there's SCI.

Still.

*harumph*

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Argh. So, this is the part of the shorter Idols that I don't enjoy. There were several of these authors that I really wanted a chance to hear more from, to get a sense of what they could do!

Please, everyone... play Second Chance Idol! Two of the four finalists in the last short round came back from SCI. Keep showing us your potential!

[i-love-freddie.livejournal.com]

See, this is why intersections suck. I said to my brother yesterday, if I go out it'll be because I couldn't write what I wanted to write.

I don't know yet if I'll continue with Second Chance Idol. I'm disappointed and I've lost confidence in my ability to write. I've been very ill lately and a big part of me just thinks 'What's the point?'... I'll see if that fades over the weekend.

[eeyore-grrl.livejournal.com]

Write! Some of us reintegrated last time. I got sixth place. Think of it as just another topic.
