Results - Week 16

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

1 more vote would have sent us into a tie-breaker. Two more would have sent someone else home.

4 votes could have tipped the poll on it's head.

When you talk about how close the end game of a season is, this is one of those moments when you realize just how "evenly matched" the field is as far as support. Which is awesome, considering the level of talent!

Unfortunately though, we do have to say goodbye to someone - and in this case, it's someone that we have some experience saying goodbye to during Exhibit B.

x_disturbed_x, I'm glad you were able to step back in a couple weeks ago. You had such an incredible run that going out by missing a run-off definitely was an anti-climatic finish. The poll coming down to the very last couple of votes, that is far more fitting!

Thank you so much for coming out and playing! I hope to see you stick around to see how this ends, and come back for more in Season 9!

For you, and everyone still in this - heck, for those of who made the Top 20 and still haven't sent me your lists: Please take a look at the Community Chest http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/676576.html and let me know your Top 5 items that you are interested in! The sooner I have the lists of who wants what, the sooner I can work out what everyone is getting!

I was biting my nails for the last 15 minutes and I am not even in this thing anymore. Whew! I have really enjoyed your writing x_disturbed_x.

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :P

[adoptedwriter.livejournal.com]

Congrats! You had an amazing game! See ya next time! AW

Did you see, for about fifteen seconds there was a five-way tie?

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

There was?

Lol, I turned off the computer and watched Doctor Who. I was avoiding the poll!

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

LOL, yeah, the last twenty minutes of that poll looked like an ebay auction.

I'm wiped just from watching it. I bet Dr. Who was less scary, even if it was the Weeping Angels.

[porn-this-way.livejournal.com]

I WILL TAKE WEEPING ANGELS OVER THAT POLL.

I was legit shaking by the time it ended, and didn't even realize it until I tried to type something and failed. Hooooly fuck. And YES, I, too, saw the billion-way tie. O_o;

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

I'd have gladly taken weeping angels over it as well!

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

I can't even look at statues now because of the Weeping Angels but I agree, lol. I'd take them over the poll!

*nods*

I was wearing out my F5 finger, in between trying to tell everyone "Goodnight"!

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Somehow I think we all know which one is the F5 finger.

:)

[porn-this-way.livejournal.com]

I was about to say, "that's not the finger you USUALLY aim in our direction!" but Kate beat me to it. Ah, great minds :P

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I have been sitting next to you all season. You're rubbing off.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Is that what that is?

*flings off flakes*

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

I didn't see it -- must've refreshed during the wrong 15 seconds -- but I completely and totally believe it.

[porn-this-way.livejournal.com]

I somehow still had this open in another tab. It's not the five-way, but it's a four-way and only one vote away from being the five-way. I think this was like a split second before the five-way actually hit.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

You know, I almost screen-shot that tie. It was just so freaky looking.

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

Holy hell. It's true!

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

I definitely saw it, I'd even say it was longer than that. It lasted until almost the last minute too, when some extra votes popped in just under the deadline.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

x_disturbed_x - well played!

Group hug!

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I do try. ;)

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

I had a lot of fun doing exhibit B and will be back for season 9! Never thought I'd make it this far so it was awesome to make it to the top six.

:) Good luck to everyone left!

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

Farewell (again) to a fantastic intersection partner. You're brilliant -- you do know that, right? (Maybe you do. But I'll go on record, just so as you're aware that we know this, too.)

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

Oh I know. I am very brilliant. ;)

Good luck to you!

[porn-this-way.livejournal.com]

Fare thee well to x_disturbed_x, brought back from the dead to give us all a final run for our money. What's that saying again? It's not Idol without zombies? For all the times people have posted zombie stories, went "there" so to speak (hell, I've done it too!), you actually got to *be* one. Be proud! That's badass.

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you were able to come back for a rightfully earned round, especially after so kindly sacrificing to save everyone the 4-way write off two weeks ago.

It's been a good run, hasn't it? Lot of new areas and new ideas over the last several months. Well worth it!

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Sad to see you go, your sacrifice and comeback were really a rollercoaster ride and you held on to that to the very end. Great run :) I hope you can continue the pace you set for yourself :)
