Poll #1892263 LJ Idol, Exhibit A, Week One
This poll is closed.
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: None, participants: 236
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Livejournal - it’s the Week 1 poll of LJ Idol: Exhibit A!
There will be thrills, spills, chills and licenses to get ill...
Unfortunately, what there won’t be is a big surprise. Because I was going to reveal it at the end of Week 1. Circumstances though did not work out in my favor. So, I’m going to tell you now instead!
But before we get into that, there were several people who did not make it to the starting line for this week. They are:____hejira
blackeyes
elizabethsheryl
heatherenchantd
andliret
There are a couple of them who I believe have opted out of competing without mentioning it. But there are also some in that list who I believe just plain missed the deadline. Whatever the reason though, they are no longer in the main competition.
HOWEVER, they have one more chance - and that is the thing that I wanted to spring on you at the end of this round but am telling you now...
From now, until I announce otherwise, if you are eliminated from the main competition, you will have another shot at getting back in - Second Chance Idol!
In the spirit of Last Chance Kitchen and Redemption Island, this means dead isn’t necessarily dead.
But you know what? The easiest path is to not get eliminated in the first place! So, don’t! ;)
For 5 contestants with the fewest votes who will be eliminated from the main competition when the poll closes though, there will be one more chance!
Hopefully one of them won’t be you!
The poll will close Monday Jan 28th at 9pm EST
Good luck to everyone!

*salutes*
Interested to see how the Second Chance thing will impact the main game.
I've read and commented on about half the entries so far. Will continue to read through them and comment as quickly as my time allows.
You're saying the bottom five vote-getters on the poll are eliminated.
Then you're saying those five plus the five who did not post an entry, for a total of ten people, will have a chance to compete against each other to get back in?
Is that right?
Are you saying how many will get back in?
We can't have a successful H_E invasion if we drop out in week 1 :P
Wine and Nutella. Is that thing?
I'm calling it a thing.
Wutella.
Oh! and I won't hold it against you if you read my entry and vote for me.
I have Wutella.
;)
I've decided that every time I comment on the main comm here, I will come bearing gifs. Spices things up.
And slightly extra crazy for feeling that way over Idol. Especially when I generally love Idol and was just telling a friend how excited I was over all the different types of people involved. Which may have been all part of the plan. I wouldn't put anything past our fearless leader.
I think I need a nap and a think before I tackle the rest. Good luck, guys!
It will, I swear. In the meantime, I have coffee and salt-and-pepper chips. Yum.
I'm just glad I got my entry in. I thought I'd have time to write at work but hahahahahahaha that never happened.
P.S. I like to think my entry is pretty uplifting...literally and figuratively!

I will finish and vote tomorrow.
Wow. I think I made it through 30 today, and feel pretty fried!
And for reasons known only to itself, something crap happened, which meant that all my votes have gone :-( Maybe the tab closed itself and then reopened, or something. Either way, it was crap.
No, I didn't take any notes/make a spreadsheet/etc. Gah! Apologies, everyone.
