Results - Week 23

Greetings from the bottom of the Stuttering Iceberg!

I have no idea what means, other than "people who have been involved in too much therapy" who want to call people who don't immediately hug them "mean-spirited"!

Maybe that person who told me that had a point though, because I'm here to eliminate some folks!

That's part of the job.

Knowing that the deadline for LCI has just passed though, means that it's the first time that I can't say "look for that chance". However, there is still the Home Game - and I hope you folks take advantage of it! (unless you already jumped)

The contestants leaving us today are

(from Redemption)

kajel

shadowwolf13

tatdatcm

(from the main poll)

beldarzfixon and

ellakite

with two people going into the Redemption tribe for next week! (Seriously, Home Game!)

Congratulations to all of you for making it to this point!

I had a blast and was excited to get as far as I did! Thanks.

The LCI ship has sailed without me, but I am busy reading the entries right now. I may home game.

It was fun while it lasted, but I'm not upset that it's over. I got my "100 weeks" and lasted more than 20 this season. To be honest, I need to work on the growing demands of my regular job and get a handle on my other writing projects. Still, if time and such allows and the topic is intriguing, you might see me in the Home Game. Big thanks to all for the comments and votes!

Who's the worst bowler in the bowling alley? E-bowler! Get it? No. Don't get it.

Just trying to add a little levity to a very grim situation... that being another elimination.

I wrote an entry for LCI just in case. But hey, this now will mean my longest stay in Idol. I went out Week 22 or Week 23 in every other regular season I've played. So yay!

Thanks for everything, Gary!

It's been an honor and a pleasure for me to take part in Season 9. But it's over now...

or is it?

;)

I managed to register and submit a piece for Last Chance Idol before the deadline. So you may not be rid of me *JUST* yet...

See you again soon.

Some guy in a Stuttering group on facebook. He told me that I was "meanspirited" and "on the bottom of the Stuttering Iceberg" :)

That's a lot of really good talent bowing out in one week.
Sorry to see you guys go - you've been great reads since the start

Sad to go but that dreaded real life has been kicking my butt lately so I'm a bit relieved. A great big "Thank you!" To everyone who was so supportive of my run. I really learned a lot. Idol was my creative writing course. :)

Gary, can you confirm our new contestant count based on people coming in from LCI? Are we at 55? Curious for those who may still be holding byes to use before Top 50. Thanks!

And do we count the people in both Second Chance and the main LJI as two contestants, one contestant, or split the difference and call them a contestant and a half?

Can anyone remind me how Redemption Tribe works? Are we stuck there until we fizzle out, or is there a chance to get back into the main tribe?

I'm pretty sure that once you're there, you stay until there's a week with no ties.

... but I could be wrong about that.
