Results - Week 14

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It came down to a couple of votes.

Really, not even that.

Because immunity came into play.

Was it the bouncing immunity that mstrobel passed to roina_arwen?

No.

It was the personal immunity possessed by diagenou. That was used, and as a result, two more people are going home.

Before we get to that though, two things - first, thank you to everyone who voted! You definitely made the difference. Had you *not* submitted those votes over the last couple of hours, it would have been an almost completely different group going this week. Heck, had people been able to vote for their Top 40, it may have been a different group, that's how it works sometime, and this is definitely proof of that.

Second, there were *5* sacrifices this week. They are: porn_this_way, raven-annabelle, rswndrlst, sestinaqueen and teenagewitch

Thanks to immunity coming into play, there are also 5 being eliminated, for the maximum of 10 that were eligible to leave the game this week.

I hope that all of these folks will play the Home Game, and keep an eye out for Second Chance. You never know when it might be coming!

But for now, we are losing some old friends, and a new one:

i_love_freddie
joyfulfeather
kagomeshuko
solstice_singer
the_dark_snack

This is such a bittersweet moment. Like I'm really happy I made it through (yeesh, what a scary week) but some of my favorite people are up there.

I'm sorry to see ALL you guys go :(

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

I know right? Boo :(

[belenen.livejournal.com]

wow, intense week! Sorry to lose all of these, esp. solstice_singer!

[eternal-ot.livejournal.com]

Another person I am shocked to see going.. I thought he would easily survive..:/

Notes

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

(1) If people want to know how they did - in general - low, mid and high range email me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com Just keep in mind that I will not have access to my spreadsheet after Saturday, for a week, so if you want to know before then, email me today or Friday!

(2) I will be posting what is happening next week a little later tonight.

Well, shucks, Dark Snack was really hitting her stride, and had one of her better entries this week.

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

I am crushed to see Snack going. She was always one of my faves.

[dreamsreflected.livejournal.com]

That was a very scary week! These results actually floored me. I honestly thought some of those names were going to be top 20 at least!

Grateful to have survived, but sad to see that group go, particularly porn_this_way and joyfulfeather.

[joyfulfeather.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I'm always surprised at who winds up going home - sad to see those drops as well as those eliminations.

Come back for Second Chance, y'all - the door is always open.


(Of course sometimes it's the trap door in the floor, but you just have to watch your step and bring a nice snack for the Moat Monster!)

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Seconding this -- definitely do Second Chance, if y'all have time. :)

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Wow. Got my votes in 5 minutes before the end, but I didn't expect to see this group go :-(

[aimercat.livejournal.com]

Holy snakies....I made it through. To be honest, I'm shocked. I'm happy I made it through, but sad to see people I voted for leave :(

[kandigurl.livejournal.com]

What an insanely stressful week. I agree that this is both a relief and bittersweet. I'm especially bummed about porn_this_way's sacrifice!

[eternal-ot.livejournal.com]

Me too..:/

[joyfulfeather.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that coming. I'm bummed, but I'll live! Thanks to everyone who has voted for me, and especially to everyone who enjoyed my Raven stories. I'll keep an eye out for Second Chance when that rolls around!

Good luck to everyone still in the game! You're all awesome.

[eternal-ot.livejournal.com]

Enjoyed reading your Raven stories for sure..Looking fwd to you joining us back..:)

[walkertxkitty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I knew Dee would probably use his personal immunity. He wasn't feeling well this week and so knew the entry wasn't one of his best in spite of trying.

For myself...I'm surprised and gratified to not be one of those leaving. Thank you all so much for that!

Sad to see the_dark_snack and joyfulfeather go. You guys had entries which were always among the first I looked for and sometimes shared with the rest of the family.

[joyfulfeather.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's sweet. :)

[penpusher.livejournal.com]

As I stated when I submitted my 30, this was a tortuous week! Most everyone had really wonderful entries (even if I didn't get to comment to most of them). I can only imagine that it'll simply get more difficult as we go from here.

I fully expect most if not all of those above named names to be back in the game eventually!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Yes, this +1!

[eska818.livejournal.com]

Very sad to lose so many people. I am particularly sad about the sacrifices, but I know sometimes life just gets in the way. Hope to see everyone in the Home Game :)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

*Nods*

Sacrifices are only fun when there's a volcano involved.

And chocolate. There should be LOTS of chocolate...

[uncawes.livejournal.com]

Wow!
Glad I made the cut this week, but very sad to see the names on the elimination list. Esp solstice_singer and i_love_freddie who've been on my must read list since week 1 :(
Hope all of you keep posting and come back if you get the chance

[eternal-ot.livejournal.com]

It's sad to see them go..I wish it was more than 30 votes per contestant..coz it was really tough to decide..even the sacrifices hurt ..Most of them were really good at what they write. Hoping to see most of them sticking around till second chance..*hugs*

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Oh-- happy recent birthday! I hope it was a nice one, not entirely spent reading Idol entries... :)

[eternal-ot.livejournal.com]

Sending *hugs* to kagomeshuko and i_love_freddie..would be missing ya..Hope you stay around.

[kagomeshuko.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm sad to be going, but glad to have made it this far. I'm planning on home gaming, though. Also, waiting for 2nd chance idol.

[mistearyusdiva2.livejournal.com]

The sacrifices and the eliminations ... both together gives us a list of writers I had enjoyed reading .... But then thats how idol works .... :( But as everyone has said I hope you do stay around and try to get back in during Second Chance .... and the home game is any which ways open .... Hugggsss to all of you .... :)

[ryl.livejournal.com]

I lost my home internet connection last night so I couldn't check the results until now. That's...a group of good people going home. :( Please come back for SCI all of you.

On the other hand, I can't believe I survived. I was sure I was going home with them. If I hadn't trimmed my fingernails earlier this week, I'd've bitten them to the quick to be sure.

I need to have a long talk with my internet connection about staying up on results night.

[dmousey.livejournal.com]

Am very thankful for the votes to keep this noob in! Am also looking forward to this weeks topic!

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty stunned at the above list - those are some fantastic writers. I do hope they get that Second Chance later on.

And, of course, I'm especially bummed about porn_this_way. But I hope your quest to find the perfect Mai Tai recipe leads you to (more) greatness. (Or, barring that, you're back again soon!)

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

There are people among both the eliminated and the sacrifices that were some of my favorite writers!

And in previous week's sacrifices or bye-outs. :(

The actual voting... I don't know why it hurts so much not to be able to vote for all those I want to, but it does. I had to trim a lot of my "likes" out, and it just isn't fun.

So Long, Farewell ... (http://the-dark-snack.livejournal.com/410521.html)

[kagomeshuko.livejournal.com]

I'm sad to be going, but also glad that I made it this far. I'm planning on home gaming and will look for second chance idol.

[ohelectricshock.livejournal.com]

Psst. I was a sacrifice this week, also.
