LJ Idol Presents:

It is that time again. Another week of Second Chance Idol has come to a close, and now it's time to announce who is moving forward, and who is leaving us.

This time around I announced that the bottom three would be leaving us. However, there is a currently a three way tie for that last spot. Due to circumstances, I am going to give a one-time show of mercy and *not* have a run off. Only two people will be leaving this week.

Unfortunately, both of them are well known and loved in the Idol community. When veterans are going home, it shows just how competitive SCI actually is!

We say goodbye to

dreamwriteremmy
and
med_kitty

I hope that we will continue to see you around in the Green Room, and in the Home Game. You never know what will happen next!

The good news of the week is that three people will be entering the competition (as of Week 11).

Provided that they agree to do so, the three will be

onda_bianca
and
the_o_writes

Two people *returning to* the game, and one newbie!

Congratulations.

"Let's see what happens"

Oh yes Livejournal. Those were innocent times. Happy go-lucky innocent times.

Now we have to say goodbye to the latest to leave us, and share with you the news of those stepping off the edge into the volcano so that others might be brought back into the game.

It is only proper that first we say goodbye to those of us who have been eliminated. I think anyone who has made it to this point in the competition, and overcome everything to get to this spot deserves to feel proud of themselves. It is quite the accomplishment.

Unfortunately though the nature of the beast is that every week we are going to say goodbye to some people. This week it is 7 people*. (the next knot up would have taken out 12. In other words, it was pretty close. * I was looking back over the spreadsheet and realized that I had missed a tie)

We are saying goodbye to

Thank you. I hope you continue to stick around, and as you know, the sacrifice option is still on the table until tomorrow if you can find someone willing!

(Hopefully I will be able to post proper goodbyes after the sacrifices have been settled.)
***

Speaking of sacrifices, we have some.

Some folks who have decided, most of them due to upcoming RL issues and one in particular due to wanting to give this person another shot and throw the card table over to see what happens - to step out of the game and give their spot to another.


It's an incredible offer from some incredible people. (There are still a couple deals pending, but they have until tomorrow)

marjory has sacrificed herself to bring back norda
drippedonpaper has sacrificed herself to bring back worldofcharlie
walkertxkitty has sacrificed herself to bring back diagenou
magsscribbles has sacrificed herself to bring back poppetawoppet

and, hmmm. . . there was one more here. Where did it go?
Oh yeah. Some guy named joeymichaels is sacrificing himself to bring back gratefuladdict

edit to add: (because I missed the confirmation) oberonia sacrifices herself to bring in First Time Idoler boiconfessed!

The table is overturned and the cards go everywhere, and there is one more day left for sacrifices. (deadline is tomorrow, Sat Feb 20th at 1pm EST)
Let's see what happens next!

tulip_in_yellow had a difficult decision to make. I honestly don't know what I would have done in her shoes. From the comments I've seen from other people, many people don't know what they would do when push came to shove.

She could have pocketed 36 votes and used them until the Final Four.

She could have pocketed 18 votes, used them until the Final Four and brought back one previously eliminated player.

She didn't though.

She is bringing back TWO PLAYERS!!!

Starting next week we will be welcoming back angstzeit and baxaphobia

Welcome back!!!
